Alfilpack has revealed its framing system for transporting large solar panels, aiming to optimize logistics and ensure maximum efficiency while maintaining the physical integrity of the product throughout the supply chain.
The company says requiring solar panels to be transported in a horizontal position limited stacking capacity to a single layer, resulting in poor utilization of available load space in lorries and containers. Alfilpack adds that this increased freight costs and the carbon footprint associated with transport per unit of product.
The new framing system holds the solar panels in a vertical position allowing more panels to be accommodated, reducing the carbon footprint and transport costs. According to Alfilpack the structure mechanically secures each panel, absorbing vibrations, preventing friction between surfaces during transit and loading or unloading operations, minimizing incidents and reducing the breakage rate.
The system is said to be manufactured in accordance with PPWR regulations using 100% recyclable materials, is easy to separate and uses the right number of raw materials to ensure the packaging’s functionality.
Alfilpack states that the lower part of the structure forms the support and anchoring base for assembly, where the vertical elements are attached – responsible for transmitting loads and ensuring structural connection between various components. Horizontal cross-members are fitted to the vertical elements to provide rigidity and distribute stress evenly.
In August STI Group unveiled its Gravity-Feed Tray, designed to combine logistics, product protection and POS presentation within a single unit. The solution is available as a single unit with one tray and one cover or as a 3-unit pack with 3 trays and 1 cover.
In other news, natural beauty company Faith In Nature has announced it is sending its excess cardboard packaging to Reuseabox in a bid to reuse over 13,000 boxes and save 12 tonnes of CO2e emissions every year. The partnership is expected to keep the leftover cardboard in circulation for longer instead of sending it straight for recycling.
