Packaging machines for Bawana Industrial Area

What Bawana and Narela make

Injection moulding and plastic goods, rubber and moulded components, hardware and fasteners, electrical accessories, small chemical and paint units, and a broad base of general engineering. The units are larger than Delhi's older estates and the output leaves in fuller loads.

The typical Bawana pack is a carton of moulded parts or hardware — bulky but light from the plastics units, compact and heavy from the hardware ones — and it goes out stacked on a pallet for a lorry, not loaded loose into a tempo.

Chemical and paint units add drums, and drums are the thing most likely to hurt somebody in this belt.

Where a stretch wrapper starts paying

Bawana is the Delhi estate where the pallet, not the carton, becomes the unit. Once that happens a turntable stretch wrapper stops being a nice-to-have.

Before buying, look past the price tag to the film bill, because that is the figure that really counts. A poorly adjusted wrapper burns through roughly fifty per cent more film than a correctly adjusted one, and when you are despatching full loads that waste adds up to more than the cost of the machine within two years or so. Two settings decide it — how hard the film is pulled and how many times it wraps the top — and both should be tuned to the pallets you actually send out instead of being run at the factory setting.

Tall stacks of goods that are light for their size are exactly what Bawana's plastics units despatch, and for them a box wrapping machine with top press clamps the stack from above as the turntable rotates. The problem is a physical one and the press solves it physically; extra film never does the job as well.

Sealing at volume when the plot is big enough

For a bigger Bawana unit whose carton sizes rarely change, a semi automatic carton sealer pays its way without complication: set it once for your one or two box sizes and leave it running for the whole day.

If box sizes really do vary over a shift, an automatic random carton sealer reads the dimensions of every carton on its own. Be aware, though, that very pale or shiny board can slip past its sensor, so the sensitivity must be adjusted using your real cartons, not a demonstration box.

Strapping is what holds the load on the pallet afterwards, and it is a separate decision from sealing. Most Bawana lines that reach this size end up with both.

Getting the machine to Bawana

Bawana sits at the far north of Delhi and our works are at the far south of the NCR, so this is the longest road move of any Delhi estate — still a road move, not a freight consignment.

A lot of Bawana units would rather send their own vehicle to collect; if that suits you, let us know and we will have it packed at the works for you. Ask us for the despatch date and you will have it the same day.
