The numbers game: How the S300 ensures sending success
The Spinny S300 continues to deliver the goods when it comes to efficient, cost-effective palletised product protection. It’s growth in popularity will come as no surprise to those who have worked with this powerful stretch wrapping equipment.
Here, we count the reasons why more NZ businesses are getting on board…
For the growing business the move to semi-automated distribution model can be a challenging balancing act to achieve. The need is obvious – but a significant capital expenditure can be difficult to free up.
Yet, without the right equipment, expenses in the short and medium term can add up to a considerable amount. With the time taken to wrap pallets and the cost of returned goods through inadequate protection, there is plenty more to consider besides the numbers on the price tag.
That’s why we’ve provided these other figures – the numbers that can make a big difference to the ongoing success of your distribution centre
300% of pre-stretch power
It’s in the name, isn’t it? The power carriage of this Spinny can pre-stretch wrap by up to 300%, making it far easier to secure pallets with ideally optimised stretch film. This capability is especially useful for wrapping more with less – reducing pallet wrap waste without compromising one iota of load integrity.
40-50% stretch film cost savings
When compared with hand-wrapping or pallet wrapping machinery that doesn’t pre-stretch wrap, the S300 can save between 40% and 50% in film costs – which delivers an extremely valuable ROI for larger-scale distribution centres that are sending pallets with a high frequency. The S300 ensures these operations can make the most of the full potential from nanolayer film products like NanoWrap.
Here are the numbers that can make a big difference to the ongoing success of your distribution centre.
5 programmable wrapping options.
The handy touchscreen control panel contains five pre-set wrap options. That means ease of packing for operators and peace of mind for operations and procurement managers. Different load applications are ideal when wrapping awkward or unstable loads and are especially helpful for very light and crushable products. These settings can be locked also, ensuring no ill-conceived tampering and inadequate or wasteful wrap as a result.
3 ways to get your hands on one…*
We can provide a few different purchase options to ensure companies can meet shipping demand quickly and cost-effectively. For many growing distributors in New Zealand the move to semi-automated pallet wrapping is a no-brainer, and they’ll purchase a Spinny S300 outright.
Sometimes however short-term leasing can provide additional resources for distribution centres to meet seasonal demands or test the equipment before committing to the full purchase.
For companies looking to spread costs over a greater time span the third option, leasing to own over a 36-month schedule, can be highly beneficial. This allows them to put the S300 immediately to work doing what it does best and, in the process, allows for expansion and efficiency gains straight away.
2 years
Depending on the volume of pallets packed, the return on investment for a Spinny S300 can be seen in as little as two years.1
1 trusted service provider.
We understand the appeal that recent low-cost stretch wrapping equipment has for a procurement manager shopping for a bargain. However we’re now seeing the consequences of these purchases as companies report of equipment breaking down and no parts readily available for repair.
A pallet wrapper is not a pair of shoes or the more expensive option in the beer aisle. This is not an impulse purchase, and any investment should consider the entire life cycle of the machinery.
So too is this equipment sometimes treated as a ‘set and forget’ purchase – which can prove costly in the long run if settings are arbitrarily changed or maintenance issues arise.
The Universal service team is ready with expert knowledge, troubleshooting tips, and quick fixes – and our trusted network of expert service agents work throughout the country. We have the parts, the maintenance plans, and the people to ensure your S300 delivers quality service year after year
