Central Florida’s Apopka facility upgraded its current stretch wrapper with a new semi-automatic stretch wrapper. This upgrade greatly improves packaging, product protection for shipping, and increases overall efficiency.
Mulch Manufacturing, Inc.’s Central Florida Plant Manager, Tim Yoder, comments, “We are always looking for ways to improve the shipment of our high-quality product and Lantech's semi-automatic wrapper is just what we needed! This will allow us to wrap more loads an hour.”
The Company also upgraded its Homerville, Georgia, location, with the purchase of a robotic, automated palletizer with pallet dispenser, slip sheet dispenser, and automatic stretch wrapper with top sheet dispenser. This will increase productivity output.
Brian Meier, Mulch Manufacturing, Inc.'s Sawmill general manager, states, “Hamer proprietary Easy Pic TM operator HMI software simplifies operation for the robotic palletizer and makes operator training quick and easy. With Easy Pic TM, the operator uses a simple touch screen to adjust current pallet patterns and create new patterns. No more working with complex robot control pendants and hours of training for every operator.”
Tony Raynor, SGTM’s CEO & director, concludes, “Investing in advanced equipment will not only increase efficiencies and production, but will also lead us to overall sustainability through higher yields, utilizing less resources.”
