Sauce Producer

The Scenario

A manufacturer specialising in household branded cooking sauces and condiments sought Excelerate's expertise to enhance the ventilation (breathability) of their pallet loads. The existing perforated pallet wrap fell short of their expectations, leading to overapplication of the film to attain the desired pallet stability. This not only escalated their packaging costs but also resulted in condensation buildup, as the load was not fully aerated.

Highlighted Issues:

Lack of Aeration to Pallet Loads

High Plastic Usage

Poor Temperature Control

Overspending on Wrapping Costs

Inefficient Machinery, Requires Servicing

The Results

Utilising our expertise in perforated wrap, we introduced ExcelAir to enhance aeration in the load without compromising load stability. This prevents any possible condensation buildup on the pallet. By optimising the wrapping configuration, costs were reduced significantly. Additionally, through fine-tuning the wrapping machine configuration, we aim to eliminate the need for corner boards, resulting in even further substantial savings for the company and improving efficiency at the end of line.
