This customer originally came to us for PP strap, we delivered it urgently by a sales rep and got into discussion about pallet wrapping, he was reviewing this and wanted to submit a quote to his management. been in the home food delivery business he was quite busy during the COVID-19 pandemic and needed to assess his wrapping needs.

The customer was buying a 15um handwrap and wrapping rather high pallets, not only was it time consuming for them, but wrapping the high pallets was difficult and they wanted to reduce costs.

We proposed the Synthex, with its 200% powered prestretch head unit it can apply wrap very thinly, but with minimal risk of breaking. the Synthex does this through a dancing oscillating roller, which senses how tight film is been applied. even sharp corners or high pallet setbacks aren’t a problem for the Synthex running thin film.

The Machine is running our HAN14 film, an Australian made stretchwrap. 500mm x 2178m x 14um EXOTEK EVOLUTION  stretchwrap. stretching 1m of it out to 3m for a yield of 6534m per roll. Hand wrapping isn’t going to come anywhere near the price of this.  We’re also supporting Australian manufacturing in the time where they really need it.

We calculated:

At a worst-case scenario the Synthex on higher wrapping settings would use 200g of stretchwrap. But it could use as low as 122g

Using the HAN14 stretch at $52-$58.00 per roll we estimate a cost per pallet wrapped of between .45c and .82c. (122g-200g)

@ 130 pallets wrapped per week X 52. = 6760 per year.

We Believe it would cost then approx. $8112.00 per year in hand wrapping

The Synthex could do it for $5543.00 at the higher end or potentially $3042 at the lower end, covering most of the costs of the machine in the first year.

After setting up and testing the machine in our warehouse, we delivered and installed by our own vehicle to the eastern suburbs. Our price was all inclusive of delivery and install. We needed minimal time onsite to do training and the install.
