The automation of industrial processes has had a tremendous impact on all sectors of production.
Ellepack wanted to make an important contribution to this revolution by producing trays for automation; in fact, all companies have the problem of handling pieces during processing. Greater productivity can also be achieved through the orderly, clean and repeatable handling of pieces in order to reduce the number of manual steps.
These needs become of primary importance if the production chain includes equipment that works on the pieces automatically, following production sequences that required precision and repeatability. Thermoformed trays provide several advantages over metal or plastic containers or metal or wood trays because they allow pieces to be positioned faster in the smallest space and are light with excellent resistance to liquids and oils.
The large-scale production of objects of every kind and type has led to the design of trays for different solutions both in an interleaving versions, for the simple separation of layers of pieces, and in self-supporting versions that support high loads in relation to the weight of the tray.
