Mosca supports HANSA-FLEX AG with an innovative end-of-line application

More automation for added efficiency

A fully automated system for heavy products: HANSA-FLEX AG based in Bremen has been using a Mosca end-of-line solution at the company's main warehouse in Geisenfeld, Bavaria, for the past year. This system automatically straps pallets and then weighs and labels them in a smooth-running logistics process. An integrated scanner reads a barcode generated in the ERP system. It contains details, for example, on the recipient or the material on the pallet. At the heart of the new packaging line is the fully automatic Mosca KZV-111 pallet strapping machine that combines state-of-the-art conveying and strapping technology with automated data processing. Mosca's SoniXs ultrasonic sealing technology ensures that the strap ends on HANSA-FLEX AG pallets are perfectly welded before the packages are shipped to the customer.

The Mosca KVZ-111 has proven itself in the HANSA-FLEX operation thanks to several features. This machine can vertically double-strap up to 500 packages per day. And strap tension is infinitely adjustable. HANSA-FLEX uses a tension of 30%, but the machine offers an option to increase this level if required. "Mosca has given us plenty of leeway to expand our current operations," says HANSA-FLEX team leader Daniel Beran. "And Mosca's flexibility is an important advantage when it comes to service. If anything goes wrong with the machine, the company's service department and our contact person are always close at hand to provide us with quick and uncomplicated solutions."

After one year of use, the system's ease of operation is also a key benefit: "The Mosca KVZ-111 integrates seamlessly into our daily work," says Daniel Beran. "Machine operation is easy to understand and hardly prone to errors. It only takes 15 minutes to show a worker without previous knowledge how to use the system. This is a major advantage." The success of the new line has encouraged HANSA-FLEX to further automate its end-of-line processes. Another fully automated end-of-line solution developed in cooperation with Mosca is already in operation at the company's Bremen site. This system secures smaller packages for transport and is also equipped with a fully automatic conveying, labelling and sorting system.
