WestRock PMA Packaging Systems have done it again. They’ve designed, manufactured and installed a crash lock tray erector at Ideal Boilers warehouse in Kingston upon Hull.
Ideal Boilers wanted a crash lock tray erector that could boost production without having to replace all of their existing, hand erected, crash lock trays.
This didn’t faze WestRock PMA Packaging Systems who took on the challenge and adapted their standard TFP1000 Tray Erector and redesigned the machine’s program to combat the self-sealing trays, which included removing all of the original hot melt glue sealing elements.
Ideal Boilers supply and install reliable combi boilers, heat only boilers and system boilers. They also provide on-site customer and training and a wide range of warranty options throughout the UK.
The TFP1000 Tray Erector has been installed into Ideal Boilers pre-existing production line where trays were previously hand erected at speeds of 1 per minute.
This WestRock PMA tray erector can erect up to 15 trays per minute, however this speed was reduced for Ideal Boilers current production capacity but has options for the speed to be increased at a later date making it an ideal future-proof investment for the company.
The design of the TFP1000 is compact making it easy to integrate into current factory lines, particularly those with strict space constraints. It has quick and easy size change facilities making it perfect for multiple product despatch.
