How can a sheet dispenser solution be sustainable?

There is an everlasting demand for environmental action downstream in businesses across the globe, and for good reason. We need more sustainable solutions that are not only sustainable but also affect areas within production and organisation and lead to other sustainable actions. Some small steps can be a significant factor for this to happen. Our automatic sheet dispenser can be just that, and it also has several other advantages.

4 advantages that can impact your carbon footprint

1. Use the material wisely. The precision cutting technology of our Palcut dispensers ensures minimal waste of interlayer sheets. This efficient use of materials reduces the overall consumption of anti-slip paper or cardboard, leading to less waste and lower resource usage. And that is something you can include in your transparency when reporting on your carbon footprint. 

2. Recyclable materials are the obvious choice. The sheets we use in Palcut dispensers are made from recyclable materials. We call them antislip, and they come with several advantages for the environment. They can decrease your paper consumption by up to 40%  because the featured coating makes them last longer. Moreover, they are 100% recyclable and SEGA and FSC®-certified, further supporting the sustainable process. By promoting the use of recyclable interlayer sheets, the dispensers support a circular economy and help reduce landfill waste.

3. Smart about reduced waste. By cutting sheets accurately and consistently, Palcut dispensers reduce the amount of miscut or damaged sheets that would otherwise be discarded. This not only saves materials but also decreases the environmental impact associated with waste disposal – something not to take for granted when reinforcing sustainability efforts.

4. Optimized logistics. Efficient sheet dispensing leads to better-stacked pallets, which can optimize transportation and storage. Improved logistics reduce fuel consumption and emissions associated with shipping.

Saving storage space

With up to 5,000 sheets per paper reel, you can reduce your storage space by up to 90%. And that has a rewarding impact for the environment. When you use your storage space wisely, you can operate with smaller warehouses. Smaller facilities require less energy for lighting, heating and cooling, thereby reducing the overall carbon footprint.

An automatic sheet dispenser allows for just-in-time inventory management. By dispensing sheets as needed, you can maintain lower inventory levels, reducing the need for excessive storage space and minimising waste from overstocked materials.

Optimized storage and efficient use of space can lead to fewer trips for material handling and transportation within the warehouse. This reduces fuel consumption and emissions associated with forklifts and other material handling equipment.

Strategically reducing the need for additional shelving, racking, and other storage infrastructure makes a significant difference. It conserves the raw materials and energy required to produce these items, contributing to overall resource conservation.

Simplifying downtime and carbon footprints

An automatic sheet dispenser is the mastermind behind the reduction in production stoppage. In fact, we see up to a 90% reduction in the production lines we work with, and there is another secondary effect to this positive aspect. Less time is needed to catch up with the lost production of orders because the downtime has been minimized. This means you can save on the energy you use to run your machines. Many things can cause downtime – such as changeovers. 

“With the new Palcut sheet dispenser, there is no changeover time when changing pallet size, so we save 20 minutes each time.” Jan Stig, Vital Petfood Group A/S.

If you reflect on your own amount of changeover times, do you know how much it is? If you were able to save 20 minutes each time, a lot of extra energy would be reduced just with the simple fact that you would be done long before the original time. Sometimes, minor adjustments can be a big unknown player in making your production run smoothly for the sake of your carbon footprint. 

Our Palcut dispensers also optimize your robots’ working speed because of a fixed pick-up height, and they are designed to operate efficiently and consume less energy compared to manual or less advanced automated systems. Lower energy consumption translates to a smaller carbon footprint and reduced operational costs overall.

Quality is sustainability’s best friend

Durability and longevity are undoubtedly important aspects of making a sustainable choice. Palcut dispensers are built to last. With robust construction and strong materials that ensure a long operational life, you can trust our solutions to last a long time. This durability means fewer replacements and manufacturing demands, further reducing environmental impact over time.

Quality doesn’t only come in the form of the product – it also comes with our sparring. We have deep knowledge and experience that can make your production line more sustainable while optimizing downtime and other important things. Your palletisation can be more sustainable, and we’ll pave the way for you to gain insights into how an automatic sheet dispenser can be the solution.
