Stackers and Palletizers — Making Perfect Piles

Personnel Reduction

Reducing added manpower at the end of the finishing line is a critical issue for choosing a stacker these days, according to John Salamone, president of Nu-Tech Printing Machinery. "Since plants have downsized, they don't have the available personnel to batch and band," he notes. "Therefore, they hire temporary workers on an as-needed basis. Depending on a temp pool is both expensive and a scheduling problem."
