Tropicana Products, Inc.,
a division of PepsiCo, Inc., is
the world's leading producer and
marketer of branded fruit juices. The
Quality Assurance Supervisor at
Tropicana's Bradenton, Florida plant had
high praise for Lock n' Pop, where they
ship out over 100 million cases of
chilled product a year.
"The
increased load stability provided by
Lock n' Pop, combined with stretch wrap
virtually eliminated damage in
shipment."
Dawn Food Products, Inc.
delivers millions of pounds of dry mixes
to bakers each week and had customers
complaining about having to dump stretch
wrap. After switching to Lock n' Pop,
"Our top
customers have told us how happy they
are not to have to put stretch wrap into
their landfills."
Gargiulo Farms says: "We've tried
other adhesives in the past, but their
application equipment was
labor-intensive and they actually glued
the cases together. With Lock n' Pop,
the application equipment is
trouble-free, and cases come apart
cleanly without any damage or residue."
Chivas
Brothers says: "With a high value
product like whisky, we cannot afford to
risk having any product movement on
completed pallets when they are being
transferred between the new palletizers
and our pallet stretch wrappers, which
could occur without the aid of Lock n'
Pop. In addition, as the majority of our
products are exported, Lock n' Pop gives
us the added confidence that our pallets
are going to arrive at their overseas
destinations in the same condition that
they left our bottling plant"
"Since the
(Lock n' Pop) system was installed, the
filter has been cleaned just once. The
stretch wrap machines, on the other
hand, require weekly lube jobs, frequent
repair of their complex electronic
components and yearly replacement of
turntable bearings. The stretch wrappers
routinely go down a half dozen days a
year, during which time forklift
operators must resort to manual
wrapping."
