ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT.
MOVEMENT & WAREHOUSING.
Although Polymaster's core business is the design and manufacture of machinery we also produce additional items required to create a slick warehousing operation.
The various rolling, folding and inspection machines we produce can help increase quality control and efficiency for getting product out of the door, but it is also crucial that these machines are fed quickly and efficiently. The items shown in this section give an idea of the things that can be created to feed the machinery side of your business efficiently, with minimal strain on the operator, upping production and lowering lead times on orders.
ROLLER CONVEYOR. This unit provides easy transportation of fabric rolls between departments as a wheeled version or acts as a roller conveyor when fixed to the floor. It helps limit heavy lifting for operators and/or warehousing staff and is set at a height which makes cloth rolls easy to load on and off most Polymaster machinery.
ROLLER CRADLE. This cradle uses free running rollers mounted on bearings to hold cloth rolls for transportation and off-rolling purposes. Ideal for customers who like to lay out cloth onto a long table and cut. Simply place the cloth into the cradle, position at the end of a laying up table and pull the cloth onto the table top. The bearing mounted rollers allow the cloth to rotate freely in the cradle and the addition of wheels makes it very portable.
ROLL CAROUSELS. Taking full advantage of space available in a warehouse can be difficult but is essential in order to maximise storage and increase efficiency. A rotating carousel can act as either a storage unit for cloth rolls to take advantage of building height or can provide goods transfer & storage between departments using a mezzanine floor setup. This has proven successful in cut length operations where stock is held on one floor and the order processing is done on another. This maximises warehouse space and creates an efficient workflow between departments.
UNWIND FRAME. Designed to feed a digital flatbed cutter, this frame has a simple brake system to prevent offload when pulled.
PALLET COMPRESSOR. Fully enclosed, safety interlocked compression machine using pneumatic cylinders to compress product for strapping. Saves volume and therefore cost on shipping.
LAY UP TABLES. Our laying up tables provide a solution for customers who want to lay out large lengths of cloth for cutting, pattern cutting and stacking of cloth. Built to customers' requirements.
ROLL PACKING TABLE. The two power rollers allow plastic to be fed and rolled around your roll of cloth with the foot pedal start/stop. Cut with a knife and tape. Done.
