Approximately 3-4% is occupied by containers in the cost of vegetables. A trifle? And if we calculate the cost of packaging 1000 tons of products, we get different figures. But what if, instead of the estimated amount, they spent 30% more? Perhaps one such shipment will not scare you. But for the entire harvest of tens of thousands of tons, up to 1-1,5 million rubles of unjustified costs come out.
When we were preparing to implement a project for the production of vegetable nets, we began to study the problems of packaging. Communication with producers of root crops has become a collection of useful information for us. And here are the problems highlighted.
One of the incidents: when loading, the mesh begins to tear from any awkward movement, the slightest hook. And on the filling machine, the bottom of the bag does not withstand. The precious harvest crumbles, beats, loses its presentation. The grid one by one is sent to the trash. Growing labor costs and consumption of containers. There were cases when up to 30% went to waste. And this is up to 100 thousand rubles from every thousand tons.
When packing manually, there is often a problem of discrepancy between the capacity and the declared weight. The bag contains, for example, much less than 25 kg. And instead of 40 pieces per ton, 45-50 nets are used. When loading one 20-tonne, up to 1500 rubles can be thrown into the wind. And movers have to overpay.
Another point that vegetable growers complained about. Sometimes too "liquid" party. The mesh stretches a lot, holds more than stated. Bags become bulky and heavy - inconvenient to move by hand, often torn under the weight of vegetables. As a result, again damaged packaging and an increase in time for loading.
There are two more problems with automatic packaging. First: the mesh slips off the support rollers due to knitting defects on the "throat" - the support strip of the bag. Second: the thermal knife passes by the place of the dividing strip between the grids - it spoils the canvas of the bag. This is due to a violation of the geometry of the fabric when twisting into a roll on a knitting machine or on a rewinder. Both the first and the second lead to a stop (downtime!) of the packaging line. There is a big risk of running into customer complaints regarding the terms of shipment and delivery.
Having received a low-quality mesh from a supplier, you can face a lot of unjustified costs:
- take out a part of the purchased container to a landfill,
- pay loaders and packers at a piece rate twice as much,
— to lose time in the downtime of the automatic packaging line.
⠀ And more. The costs of people's nervous strain due to force majeure are difficult to translate into money. But they affect the final result 100%.
⠀When we started the launch of the first line, we immediately provided a solution to all these quality problems.
Firstly, we accurately verified the polyethylene formulation. The thread of our production has such strength and elasticity, which allow us to make a strong and sufficiently capacious net.
Secondly, we set up knitting machines for the most optimal knitting density. The canvas stretches only within acceptable limits. The mesh holds the stated weight and does not tear.
Thirdly, we provided for a double binding of the bottom. On automatic packing, stuffing occurs without stopping.
Fourth, we use a high-strength tie for the hand-packed mesh.
Fifthly, we built quality control at all stages of production, eliminating the possibility of marriage of the thread and the finished fabric.
