Better Performance

RAPID ROPER PLUS doubles the load containment vs. conventional wrapping and does so without cornerboards or strapping. Importantly, the system won't crush your boxes or cartons.

Better Profitability
The cost per protected pallet is significantly reduced by using less film and eliminating costly cornerboards, strapping, and related energy-intensive application processes.

Better Prevention

Significant reductions in financial costs and material use prevent unnecessary economic expenses and environmental waste.
 

In tests conducted on a typical apple pallet in a 500 pallet per day facility, Rapid Roper Plus achieves the following advantages versus standard ventilated protocols of stretch film, straps, and cornerboards:
 

• Total applied stretch of 360% vs. 215% of conventional protocols. Further, the force to load advantage for Rapid Roper Plus was 47%.
   

• 85% less material cost. Total annual financial savings including cornerboard elimination, equal $547,000 for this type of facility.
   

• 95% less material use. Total weight reduction vs. typical pallet configurations is almost 808,000 pounds, or 404 tons, annually.
   

• 12 film wraps vs. 19 for standard protocols, for a 37% reduction in wrap time per pallet.
   

• Tilt test pass of 18 degrees vs. 12% for standard protocol. Failure was 20 degrees for Rapid Roper Plus, vs. only 12 degrees for a conventional setup.

• At least 90% reduction in greenhouse gas generation per wrapped pallet. The savings is a combination of reduced material usage and significantly enhanced throughput savings. (Two to four times more pallets can be wrapped between roll changeovers.)
   

• Rapid Film is recycle-ready. Customers are currently recycling it back into industrial films used for wraps and bags. Thus, non-recyclable palletizing materials can be eliminated, further reducing landfill waste and related disposal costs.
