What happens when you set the speed for your wrapping machine without consideration to your product and your staff? Sometimes it doesn’t work so well.

We know our FA-ST servo wrapper will run at speeds up to 150 packages per minute because we have customers who achieve those speeds. But others cannot seem to get to their desired speed

We know our machine can do a 10 minute changeover because some of our customers do it in less. Others struggle to change over from one product size to the next for an hour or more.

What makes the difference?

• knowing your product, flaws and all, and sharing that knowledge with the wrapping machine builder
• knowing your product’s tolerances for speed and directional change
• having knowledgeable expectations about feeding product to the wrapper
• staying within tolerances for product size variation prior to wrapping
• having knowledgeable employees who know your product and have a basic understanding of machine function and operation
• having trainable employees who want to learn to operate and care for your machinery

Having all of  these will not guarantee that you can achieve the impossible, but the absence of even one will certainly slow you down.

Nothing substitutes for knowledgeable people working together.
