Stability of Pallets for Plas-tic Non-Returnable Bottles
The trend to offer plastic non-returnable bottles for beverages continues unabated. This tendency is currently reinforced by conversion from returnable to non-returnable containers. Saving on material may lead to instability of load units. What is the impact of various stretch-wrapping methods on stability? Using different wrapping modes and a static “stress test”, the behaviour of load units is being investigated at VLB Berlin.
