Customer Successes
Food Processor
Problem
A leading fresh and frozen chicken processor in need of quick cooling/freezing was spending a significant amount of time and energy wrapping and re-wrapping their product from the line to refrigeration and shipping.
Solution
AirFlow allows the chicken to be wrapped immediately off the line, one time, eliminating the need and cost of a second wrap.
Result
Pallet wrap material and labour cost savings. Accelerated cooling and freezing times.
Egg Farmer
Problem
A large egg farming operation was using regular stretch film to secure their egg pallets. They were experiencing egg spoilage and carton damage because their pallet wrap was not allowing for sufficient cooling and drying of the washed eggs.
Solution
AirFlow was designed to work with customer machine specs and immediately improved air circulation and moisture release.
Result
Elimination of mold and mildew. Reduction of spoilage and carton damage.
Cheese Producer
Problem
For our cheese producing client, cheese wrapped with the conventional stretch film used to take 14 days to cool to the proper temperature.
Solution
AirFlow vented stretch film was selected to accelerate cooling time.
Result
The cooling time was cut in half to seven days. Our client can now ship their product to market faster, has reduced warehouse storage space and costs, and reduced inventory in storage.
Produce Grower
Problem
A grower of organic produce was having an issue with moisture build up when wrapping waxed boxes of peppers with a conventional stretch film. They would often have to repack the peppers (and wipe off moisture).
Solution
AirFlow was designed to fit their pallet wrap machine and was put in place to fight moisture build-up and product spoilage.
Result
Elimination of condensation and repacking issues, prevented spoilage, reduced the need for expensive waxed boxes and improved efficiencies.
Industrial Manufacturer
Problem
A manufacturer of HVAC units dips coils into a water tank to inspect for defects. During times of high heat and humidity, coils were exhibiting a “staining” that resembled mildew/mold after they had been wrapped with conventional stretch film.
Solution
AirFlow was recommended for use on their existing pallet wrap machine for help with moisture release.
Result
AirFlow played a key role in eliminating staining which occurred as a result of condensation build up. Customer quality control inspectors report that our vented film played the key role in the dissipation of moisture. Load containment was secure after shipping several thousand miles.
Medical Devices Manufacturer
Problem
A manufacturer of disposable medical devices uses Ethylene Oxide (ETO) for sterilization. Due to toxicity, it is imperative that the product be allowed to “off-gas” throughout the manufacturing process to eliminate any residual ETO. Using regular stretch film does not allow for off-gassing.
Solution
The manufacturer switched to AirFlow vented film which allowed off-gassing to continue throughout the storage and shipping process.
Result
Accelerated off-gassing reduced storage time and costs and helped devices get to market faster.
