WIMA Tray Packing System TPS

The WIMA Tray Packing System was developed by WIMA to meet the challenge to minimize the waste volume and to prevent special waste by using recyclable materials.

With the packing systems developed by WIMA, larger film capacitors are stacked in layers in grey cardboard boxes, without the additional need for inner polystyrene packaging. In this system, the capacitors are protected by plastic inner packing, known as "stacking pallets". These pallets are shaped such that: the capacitor leads are protected high pack density per packaging unit is achieved the capacitor can be removed from the packaging unit in the pallet form, for assembly capacitors can be held ready at the assembly site in pallet form with the leads upwards or downwards, as required by the user. Other advantages of the system are that the storage space required can be reduced and that no additional devices or operations are required to prepare the capacitors for manual assembly. A significant reduction of packaging waste results because the packaging consists only of cardboard, paper adhesive tape and recyclable polystyrene. WIMA is also offering its customers a return service for the plastic TPS packing.
