MC-Bauchemie, an international manufacturer of construction chemicals, has switched its packaging concept to sustainable stretch bonnet solutions from MSK. The stretch bonnet gives the products high load stability and protection from the weather. A connected MSK pallet logistics system with conveyor technology over two levels ensures fully automatic pallet transport.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Because the previous packaging systems at both its Bottrop and Esslingen plants were getting on in years, MC-Bauchemie contacted the packaging machine manufacturer MSK<\/a> some time ago for an alternative packaging solution. Up to this point, the company had been using stretch wrappers to pack its products such as bags, buckets, canisters, drums and cartons. In close co-operation between MC-Bauchemie and MSK, an extensive series of test trials to develop the optimum packaging solution for these chemical products<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

MSK was not the only machine manufacturer with whom the construction chemicals manufacturer embarked on the search for a new system concept. The comparative test trials in Kleve ultimately convinced the company of MSK's sustainable and stable stretch bonnet technology.<\/p>

\u201eThe majority of our products go directly to the construction site, so they are better protected from the weather. We also use less film per load unit, which is particularly important for us in terms of sustainability. The speed of the process, weather resistance and reduced use of materials are decisive advantages of stretch bonnet packaging for us.\u201c<\/p>

Within a short space of time, MC-Bauchemie ordered three MSK Tensiontech stretch bonnet systems for its production plant in Bottrop. A pallet logistics system with a connection to the stretch bonnet system was also installed. This was followed by a new MSK Wraptech stretch bonnet system at the Esslingen plant in 2022.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Compared to the previous systems, which wrap the load units both vertically and horizontally with film, the stretch bonnet is an efficient and sustainable packaging solution. The products are stably packaged for transport and storage and are securely protected against dust and moisture by the closed bonnet. Thanks to the patented MSK device for gathering the film (EP 1 353 847) and MSK vertical film stretching process (EP 1 717 148), thin films and minimised film consumption are possible. The systems work very reliably, without downtimes during reel changes and with a low energy consumption of less than 0.07 kilowatts per pallet<\/strong>. The machine head can be lowered to working level for maintenance work.<\/p>
