Four Rotoplats speed the feed and seed
Research by Copdock Mill, based in Ipswich, a supplier of high quality pet and animal feed to clients throughout the South East and Midlands, has proved that the installation of four Rotoplat 507 pallet wrappers, from Aetna Group UK, was an excellent investment.
Derrick Ladbrook, distribution manager for Copdock Mill takes up the story, “We handle 150 pallets a day on average and, with 5,000 lines at any one time, the number of different products per pallet can vary enormously. So we needed machines which would be reliable, flexible and, most importantly, easy to programme for soft, hard or a combination of products.”
