Reusable containers are undoubtedly a practical solution for many companies to safely transport their goods and products. But the challenge is to get these containers clean, organized and quickly ready for the next use after use. This is where the sprintBOX company comes into play, which is dedicated to this task. In this blog article you will learn how sprintBOX has perfected the cleaning of reusable containers using state-of-the-art technology.
Horb: An important location for reusable container cleaning
Since October 2015, sprintBOX has been operating a container cleaning location in Horb, which not only works for a specific customer, but also in the so-called multi-user model. This means that different customers can use this location. An impressive 48,000 boxes, folding boxes, lids, blisters and more can be cleaned here every day. The location in Horb is conveniently located on the motorway and supplies the surrounding automotive suppliers with clean reusable containers. The on-site washing and drying system is modern and powerful. It can easily remove oily residue, dust, sticky and other dirt.
A look at the cleaning process
The cleaning process begins with the receipt of goods, where the containers are roughly sorted according to size and sorted sets are sorted out. Blisters and trays are also separated here, VCI bags are removed and small parts are picked out. The actual cleaning is carried out mechanically using the high-performance washing system. Both lids, blisters, boxes, bitos and folding boxes go through this cleaning process. Plastic pallets or “egg cups” are treated separately. After drying, the units are reassembled according to customer requirements and, as required, foiled or banded.
The role of management and control software
The efficient functioning of container management in the multi-user model requires powerful management and control software. sprintBOX relies on the “sprintBOX navigator”, which keeps an eye on all processes. For example, customers can track incoming and outgoing goods using this software and book defective parts centrally.
The benefits for customers
Customers benefit from this reusable container cleaning process in many ways. You will receive sparkling clean, complete and intact reusable containers. At the same time, you can benefit from the cost-effective advantages of a multi-user model. All individual customer requirements are taken into account. Overall, sprintBOX reusable container cleaning not only offers cleanliness and efficiency, but also sustainability and cost-effectiveness for companies in different industries. It is an example of how modern technology continues to advance the logistics industry while minimizing environmental impact.
