New load containment solution monitors application amounts automatically

LOCK N’ POP™(locknpop.com), a premier load containment solution provider from Muller LCS and part of SIG, introduces a new applicator that can monitor application amounts automatically for its water-based cohesive that forms a chemical bond with packaging surfaces and holds firm until it’s time to un-stack the pallets. The new system, named Unitizer 150F, can signal the customer when applied amounts of product are out of range, thereby assuring proper application without having to periodically weigh samples of the applied cohesive. For customers securing loads using only LOCK N’ POP without additional stretch wrap, this allows for peace of mind that the product was applied correctly and consistently without having personnel constantly supervising the operation.  

The LOCK N’ POP system is durable, cost-effective and provides a virtually maintenance-free solution over other traditional pallet securing methods. The water-based cohesive is stronger than stretch wrap alone and is cold applied, making it safer than hot melt. It’s especially popular with poly bag applications like animal feed. Traditionally, bag applications are secured with stretch wrap which can weaken or topple over in transport because the poly material will force the bags to slip off each other and stretch the film to where it can no longer support the load. With LOCK N’ POP the bags are adhered to each other during stacking- eliminating any slipping or need for stretch wrap.
