containment force's Test Sensors

The latest load unit security vulnerability identification technology

The latest measurement technology for optimum pallet safety

Our packaging optimizers have always performed spot measurements of the “ containment force ,” using them to gain an initial impression of a pallet’s stability. However, even though the “ containment force ” is such an important indicator of pallet stability and transport safety, these measurements have always been limited to isolated, spot checks that did not allow for detailed conclusions about how the pallet would behave in specific transport situations. 

That changes fundamentally with the " containment force" sensor system. 

With this innovative, pioneering technology, our application engineers are now able to measure restraining forces continuously along the entire height of the pallet - a real breakthrough for packaging optimization, as this makes it possible to empirically track the actual securing of the goods on the pallet for the first time. 

Functionality

  • Installation: The " containment force" sensor system is attached to the pallet before the wrapping process begins and starts taking measurements as soon as the wrapping process begins.
  • Precision Sensors: A large number of high-precision sensors measure the actual containment force of the stretch film directly on the side surfaces and edges of the pallet, across its entire height.
  • Real-time analysis and data processing: Measurement data is analyzed via a software-supported interface and visualized in such a way that the results of the measurement are clear and meaningful at first glance.

Field of application

  • Identifying Weak Points: The containment force inspection sensor system
    identifies weak points in pallet securing and enables precise optimizations.
  • Analysis and Optimization: Data on the containment force provides valuable insights for improving packaging processes.
  • Cost-effectiveness and sustainability: With the help of containment force's inspection sensors, maximum pallet stability can be achieved while minimizing the use of stretch film—benefiting both the environment and your bottom line.
