Product damage in transit has become a thing of the past for leading UK window, door and conservatory supplier, Blackpool-based Affordable Window Systems, following investment in Orion Packaging Systems stretchwrapping technology.
MD Micky Gaughan explains: “We were finding products arriving at their destination damaged, so had to send out replacements at our own cost. We therefore needed a reliable, cost-effective solution to protect products in transport and ensure they arrived in pristine condition.”
The Orion equipment supplied is a bespoke semi-automatic low profile series machine with electronically operated top platen and remote control foot switch. Able to handle maximum size loads of 1,700 mm diagonal with a maximum height of 2,250mm, the system is operating 12 hours a day, five days a week and has already had “a significant impact on product quality”.
