Balemaster® balers
put more green in your pocket.
If you are not baling your waste now, or if you are baling manually, then
you’re spending too much time handling empty cardboard boxes. Balemaster®
balers can do the work for you. Balemaster® wide-mouth auto-ty balers send
money to your bottom line in many ways. Here are just two:
1. Conventional hand tying takes 7 to 10 minutes per bale. But Balemaster®
auto-ty balers process cardboard waste into a dense bale that is
automatically and securely tied in less than 30 seconds.
2. Balemaster® balers produce bales with the highest density per cubic foot.
So there’s more material per volume than any other baler. This reduces
annual baling wire costs and maximizes recycling revenue per load.
Balemaster® balers are engineered to save energy, improve efficiency, reduce
wire usage, and lower maintenance costs. Being green is good business. But
pocketing green is even better.
Don’t crunch the numbers any other way.
Mobile-controlled vertical storage
lifts: Weland Solutions, a manufacturer of
customized lifts and warehouse inventory
solutions, has upgraded its Compact vertical
storage lifts to allow users to control the
machines via mobile devices instead of a computer. According to the company, this small
investment offers significant benefits, especially for pick-intensive businesses in e-commerce and the retail trade.
With the new system, the warehouse associate starts the order directly from his or her
mobile phone or tablet computer and only
sees his/her order on the screen. This saves a
great deal of time and walking along aisles,
while reducing the risk of picking mistakes,
the company says.
Compact vertical storage lifts are controlled
by the equipment maker’s own warehouse
management system, Compact Store. The
system includes support for all of the work
steps that are included in normal storage
management. All of this is now available on
a mobile phone or tablet computer via Wi-Fi.
The company’s Compact vertical storage
lifts come in three models: the Compact Lift,
which is suitable for both large volumes of
small articles and for heavy or bulky products;
the Compact Twin, which handles two load
trays simultaneously, more than doubling the
picking rate; and the Compact Double, a more
robust version of the Compact Twin. (Weland

AS/RS system: Signode Industrial Group,
a manufacturer of packaging consumables,
tools, software, and equipment, has introduced its StorFast high-density automated
storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). The
StorFast system is composed of powered
carts that automatically and quickly move
pallets in and out of storage positions in
the warehouse. According to the company,
StorFast’s modular designs offer increased
flexibility, maximum storage capacity, and a
very small footprint. The StorFast system can
be expanded as capacity requirements and
SKUs (stock-keeping units) increase. (Signode

Custom-label printer: To address the challenge of inefficient labeling processes, labeling and printing specialist Avery Dennison
has introduced its ADTP2 EcoCut Labeling
Solution, a custom-cutting printer that allows
users to choose the exact length and quantity
of labels they need from one printer without
cutting through a liner.
Compared with common logistics labeling
practices, the EcoCut solution cuts overall costs by up to 40 percent, primarily by
reducing waste, the company says.
EcoCut is designed with a new printer-cutting mechanism that allows the
machine to produce multiple label sizes from a single continuous label roll. As a
result, liner and matrix waste between each pre-cut label is eliminated.
The new solution also eliminates the need to create label content with padded
white space to fit the predetermined standard label size. Instead, the labels are
printed to fit the size of the content, reducing the amount of wasted white space.
