Packaging and drum handling machines for Bhiwadi

Steel, pipes and the strap that has to hold

A bundle of pipes or a stack of sheet settles in transit and the strap goes slack. A slack strap is worse than no strap, because it lets the load move inside its own bundle where nobody can see it.

Repeatable tension is the fix, and for bundles no arch will take, a pneumatic strapping tool applied where the load stands. For boxed and palletised work, a semi automatic strapping machine.

Strap width and thickness decide the break load. Tell us the bundle weight and the journey and we will specify against them rather than against a general description.

Auto components, and packing to somebody else's standard

Bhiwadi's component plants supply into the same OEM networks as Manesar, and the same rule applies: if your customer has issued a packing standard, it decides the machine.

Send it with the enquiry. It contains the pallet size, the stack height, the wrap pattern and often the film thickness — everything the machine has to be sized against, already written down.

Where the standard is not achievable with the film you currently buy, we will say so before the machine arrives rather than after.

Buying across the state line

Crossing into Rajasthan changes the invoice, not the machine. Say at the enquiry which state the goods are being billed into, because getting that right on the first quotation saves a revision later.

If your purchase system needs a vendor onboarding form or an MSME declaration completed, send it along with the enquiry. It comes back with the quotation, which is the point in the process where it costs nothing.

On timing, we do not publish a figure. Ask on the day and you get the despatch date for the model you are asking about, and the transporter's docket number as soon as it moves — the two numbers your own plan actually runs on.

Water, and why a Bhiwadi pallet arrives wet

This belt is dry for most of the year, which is exactly why the wet weeks catch people out — nobody has a procedure for something that happens twice a year.

The failure is not rain falling on a wrapped pallet. It is condensation. A pallet that stands in a yard overnight and is loaded in the morning carries moisture into the trailer, and a trailer that warms through the day puts that moisture back onto the cartons at the top of the load. The consignment arrives with damp cartons and nobody can point to when it got wet.

Film traps that moisture rather than keeping it out. A pallet wrapped while damp stays damp. If loads are standing outside before despatch, they want covering rather than wrapping until they are ready to move — and the wrapper wants to be under cover, not in the yard.

The other half is the pallet itself. A wooden pallet that has stood in a wet yard is heavier and weaker than a dry one, and it is the thing that fails on a fork rather than the load. If your pallets live outside, that is worth looking at before anything else on this page.
