PACKAGING technology and machinery specialist Atlanta UK has unveiled the Nova compact ring pallet wrapper.
For decades, traditional pallet stretch wrapping has been used in sectors such as food manufacturing, brewing, beverages and the broader industrial space in the UK.
However, with evolving film technologies, environmental concerns, budgetary constraints and regulations, Atlanta explained that traditional solutions may not be the optimal or eco-friendly choice.
Atlanta Stretch conducted research and development to create the Nova. A key feature is the compact design, with the product tailored to fit into spaces previously occupied by many older wrapping machines.
The Nova is built to be compatible with the latest ultra-thin nano films and those with recycled content, and boasts an ‘infinite contact’ pre-stretching mechanism. This is said to ensure precision in film elongation, with each wrap using the minimum amount of film necessary.
No two pallets are the same and the Nova is built with variability in mind. Whether pallets are irregular, misshapen, or use networks where pallets are frequently transferred between different locations, Atlanta said the Nova offers a range of smart solutions.
Roger Cope, technical director at Atlanta UK, said, “The Nova offers solutions to some of the major challenges faced by the food and industrial manufacturing sectors. It is easy to install and maintain, which significantly reduces the cost of operation and ownership compared to other alternatives.”
