No, you don’t. 40 JULY 2016 SEE US AT STAND 3080 AUCKLAND | MT MAUNGANUI | CHRISTCHURCH Performance Engineering Products Freephone 0800 102 112 www.changeparts.co.nz FT092 By utilising Faro’s portable coordinate measuring machine (CMM) and laser scanning technology, Supply Services is revolutionising service expectations for filling machine and change part users. Traditional template making using a tape measure and vernier is now obsolete. The term ‘change parts’ is derived from the fact that each time a different size bottle or can is set up in the filling machine for production, a matching set of parts is required to guide them. Typical processes in these filling machines are rinsing, filling, capping and labelling, and this can all take place at blistering speeds of 900 bottles per minute or more. By digitising the filling machine, Supply Services can measure what the eye cannot see, thereby enabling customised ‘change parts’ precisely tailored to the machine. This can result in significant increases in bottling speeds, leading to greatly reduced production times, bottle breakages and spillage. Once the filling machine has been digitised the change parts required are designed using SolidWorks CAD/ CAM and manufactured using CNC machine tools. Quality engineering plastics materials are used for their lightweight, wear resistant, food grade properties.

Stand P: 0800 700 000 | universalpackaging.co.nz 3110 FT123 Packaging technical sales consultant Matt Goddin says, “there’s no arm-twisting required – which is exactly how we like it.” While many New Zealand businesses still wrap pallets by hand, change is in the air, according to the Palmerston North-based company. Goddin believes this is due to a combination of factors. “Product damage is a big deal. On average, for every $1000 of product shipped, $1 is lost because of ineffective wrapping. “It may not seem much, but if you’re shipping $50,000 of product per day, that could be an $18,250 loss annually. Then there are the immeasurable costs of a damaged reputation too.” Reduced labour costs are another big incentive and so too are material cost savings. “A (film) delivery system with powered pre-stretch can cut film costs by at least 50%,” Goddin says. “If you’re wrapping hundreds of loads a day the savings to your business will be dramatic.” Despite the popularity Goddin still advises those considering the move to “ask the tough questions, because getting the right machine for the workload is crucial. They can be a sizeable investment,” he says. “But, when scoped right, a good stretch wrapping machine will pay for itself in a relatively short time.” SPIN DOCTORS
