Forming on site
Jinan Huaneng Pneumatic Components Company (formerly Jinan Pneumatic Component Factory) is a large-scale high-tech enterprise integrating scientific research and development, production and processing, sales and sales, technical services, import and export trade, and personnel training. It is the largest manufacturer of pneumatic components in China. , With the only domestic pneumatic industry passed the provincial-level enterprise technology development center. As a leading company in the domestic pneumatic industry, Jinan Huaneng has established long-term cooperative relationships with many outstanding companies in the United States, Japan, Germany, and other countries. The JPC brand of pneumatic products is well known in the international market and is exported to Western Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia.
In order to comply with the overall requirements of domestic and international market for product supply, President of the China Pneumatic Association, Vice President of the Liquid Airtight Association and General Manager of Jinan Huaneng Mr. Wang Yaobiao pointed out: “The pursuit of excellent quality and eternal reputation is the consistent goal of Huaneng people. Quality as an important component of product quality is no exception.” Recently Jinan Huaneng has made great efforts in improving the quality of packaging, and has introduced Instapak(r) produced by Sealed Air Packaging Co., Ltd. for the time (r). Forming packaging systems to improve existing product packaging. Through this change, Jinan Huaneng Company has got rid of the defects of traditional wooden box packaging, reducing the space requirements for storing traditional packaging materials such as wooden boxes and white Polaroid foam sheets. More importantly, it also greatly reduces the damage to the company caused by product damage.
Traditional wooden box is troubled
Obviously, an important factor that Jinan Huaneng Pneumatic Components considers when it comes to finding high-quality packaging is protection. Although the wooden box packaging widely used by Jinan Huaneng can also provide a certain positioning protection, it still cannot achieve the buffer protection level required for many pneumatic components. Mr. Deng Wei, deputy general manager of Jinan Huaneng Sales Co., Ltd. introduced to us: “The wooden box packaging has been used by Jinan Huaneng for 30 years. We must order a wide variety of wooden boxes from the cooperation plant to be stored in the packaging workshop every day because of the wooden box. The space is large, and there are usually many wooden boxes stacked outside the workshop in the open air.” The original wooden box packaging can hardly serve as an ideal cushioning and shock-proof function, coupled with the fact that the current domestic shipping of rough handling is commonplace. When the product is damaged, See you.
The cost of wooden packaging is not cheap, and products are often required to provide IPPC logo verification on the wooden box when exported to Europe (ie, the logo of the IPPC registered by the International Plant Protection Convention for the qualified implementation of the harmonized wood packaging. This is undoubtedly an additional cost for Jinan Huaneng, which is not conducive to a rapid increase in the competitiveness of the company's international market.
In addition to wooden box packaging, some of Jinan Huaneng's products use carton packaging, and the inside of the carton uses traditional bubble film attached paper card liners to cushion the product. The operator first uses the bubble film to wrap the pneumatic components to provide surface protection. After the product is put into the carton, select the appropriate size paper card liner to fill the excess space between the product and the carton to achieve a certain product positioning effect. The entire packaging process takes considerable labor and time, and additional manpower is often added at the peak of shipment.
On-site forming packaging efficient and safe
After conducting a comprehensive review and assessment of the existing packaging methods, Jinan Huaneng introduced a timely fashion (R) 901 on-site forming packaging system from Sealed Air Packaging Co., Ltd., and started to change the existing wooden box packaging to carton packaging. , while replacing the traditional inner packaging cushioning material.
Because of the time (r) 901 in-situ forming and packaging system is one of Sealed Air's numerous packaging systems, the operator only needs to press the trigger and the all-electric system can inject the foamable foam material into the carton. This highly elastic foamed foam expands rapidly in the packaging box and is shaped according to the shape of the installed product. This effectively positions and cushions the product in the packaging box, avoiding back and forth movements and collisions during transportation.
Within just a few seconds, the time-produced (r) packaging system uses a time-produced (r) raw material that can expand to 280 times the volume of the liquid, and the foaming magnification of the 40W packaging material selected by Jinan Huaneng is 140. Times, you can effectively position the pneumatic components in the transport box, and have a good buffer shock effect, help reduce the risk of product damage.
As the on-site forming packaging provided excellent protection for the products, the goods ordered by the customers could be delivered in a better state. Therefore, Jinan Huaneng Company gradually reduced the number of incidents of customer complaints due to breakage; and, instead, changed the wooden packaging into carton packaging. Afterwards, Jinan Huaneng’s corporate image of product packaging, such as appearance and text patterns, became more prominent and prominent, and the export of products to Europe was no longer a problem.
“The improved packaging method has brought higher customer satisfaction to our pneumatic components products,” said Mr. Deng Wei. “Also, because of the time (r) 901 packaging system is very easy to operate. Only after a few hours of training, operators can quickly and effectively package different shapes of products, and now complete the packaging of a product requires only a short In a matter of minutes, it reduced the labor intensity of workers and improved their ergonomics."
The whole set of raw material supply system composed of a pair of 210 litre containers for the entire time (r) 901 on-site forming packaging system occupies approximately 4 square meters of floor space in the packaging area, which greatly saves warehouses compared to the original wooden box stacked on top of the warehouse. In the space, Jinan Huaneng Company can now use the “extra” warehouse space as a product inventory, and the entire packaging workshop operates smoothly and neatly.
Win-win go world
Another benefit of Jinan Huaneng's use of on-site form-packing is that it can fill the gap between the product and the packaging because of the unique characteristics of the packaging. This feature allows Jinan Huaneng to gradually reduce the size of packaging cartons. This is an additional benefit that Jinan Huaneng can anticipate after adopting Sealedore's packaging engineer's recommendations.
The promotion and application of on-site forming and packaging methods achieved the expected success in Jinan Huaneng. As of the end of March this year, the market reflected that the packaging use effect was good, just as Jinan Huaneng Sales Company Mr. Deng introduced, “The improvement in packaging efficiency has made us The packaging operations staff was very happy," he concluded: "If we use specific figures to illustrate the savings in our cost, we expect that the reduced packaging cost can reach more than RMB 100,000 per year. The packaging system also enabled us to increase the amount of packaging in order to keep up with customer demand for products. We achieved the goal of reducing labor and changing the state of chaos, and gained some benefits that were not anticipated in advance."
