Cut & Weld
A Container

Cost-efficient custom-made products

Your parts do not fit into our standard containers, but a classic custom-made product is too expensive? Then we have the cost-efficient Cut & Welt process the optimum solution. We use existing standard containers or trays to create new items in dimensions that perfectly match your requirements.

Product features

Cost-efficient individual solution

Only very low tool costs are incurred for an auxiliary tool (for clamping on the mirror welding system)
Existing SSI SCHAEFER PLASTICS containers or trays are adapted to your special shape. This saves you the expense of a new production and you still benefit from a customized solution.

Optimally tuned

The special containers or trays in the desired size are available in various materials: Polypropylene, polyethylene or electrically conductive material (ESD)

Reliable

Even with welded seams, the containers are still resilient, stackable and can be transported on your conveyor systems
They also have the same shelf life as our standard containers and trays

Modular and for automation

Based on standard container dimensions, they can also be stacked with each other. They are also suitable for automated systems, mini-load warehouses and conveyor lines.

The production

In the Cut & Weld process, segments are cut out of the SSI SCHAEFER Plastics basic container or tray. The result is a reduced product or a new product extended from several segments. The parts are joined together using a mirror welding process so that stability, stackability, automation and durability are retained despite the seam. For technical reasons, it is not possible to adjust the height.

The stability

For normal applications, the load capacity of the welded containers is identical to our standard containers or trays.
For very large/long containers, an additional riveted top edge reinforcement on both long sides is recommended.
The stability of the weld seam corresponds to approx. 90 percent of the material strength of the original container or tray. The same applies when using ESD material.
