Weiden has proved to be highly efficient. At peak times the mail order company processes up to 77,000 orders per day to a customer base of some nine million consumers. Returned goods are a significant challenge in e- commerce and mail order logistics, as goods are often returned due to incorrect size, colour or quality. Witt Weiden decided to invest in a new split tray sorter system to speed up the returns process and reduce equipment downtime. During the two month installation and commissioning period, the old system continued to be used in parallel so there was minimal disruption to the business. Annette Sommer, UK General Manager for Dürkopp, said: “I am delighted the split tray sorter has surpassed the required performance criteria of Witt
Weiden.The system can also be easily expanded so providing additional capacity to meet future business demands.”

Kite Packaging Acquires Burnhead Packaging Supplies
K
ite Packaging has officially announced the acquisition of Burnhead Packaging Supplies – a £4 million sales packaging distributor based in Sittingbourne, Kent. The business will continue to
operate with its eleven-strong team, who will now become Kite employee partners, under the name “Burnhead Packaging Supplies, a division of Kite Packaging”. Burnhead is undergoing a complete re- branding as ‘Burnhead Packaging Supplies – a division of Kite Packaging’ with new building signage and vehicle livery. Burnhead has historically been strong in the stretch film market, and will now benefit from Kite’s preferred relationships with key suppliers, and have access to its vast standard stock product range from Kite’s National Distribution Centre. The availability of a comprehensive packaging product range at highly competitive prices, together with a focus on high service levels to customers, will enable Burnhead, under the Kite banner, to grow aggressively and extend its position as the leading packaging distributor for Kent and surrounding areas. The addition of Burnhead will also strengthen Kite’s multi-branch capability for its major key accounts. The activities of Burnhead will be overseen by Kite Managing Partner, Paul Mustard, who is also responsible for Kite’s other branches in the South East, which includes a large operation in Harlow (whose majority customer base are positioned north of the Thames), and a smaller operation in Maidstone. A spokesman for Kite Packaging commented: “We are really pleased to announce the acquisition of Burnhead, our largest acquisition to date. As the UK’s largest employee-owned packaging distributor, the Sittingbourne site will become central to our partnership in Kent and nearby areas. We are looking forward to welcoming new local business customers on-board, and aim to grow turnover significantly, affirming Burnhead’s position as the leading packaging supplier in the region.”

from KNAPP designed to minimise lifetime costs
S
treamline, the latest generation of conveyors from KNAPP, has been designed to minimise
maintenance costs through end-to-end commonality of parts and a modular system design. Besides the reduced number of parts, maintenance is also facilitated through quick-release clasps for the rollers. Modular system design shortens the planning and production phase significantly. In addition, Streamline is delivered to site with a high degree of pre-assembly, thereby reducing installation time and smoothing the start-up process. Designed in both roller conveyor and belt conveyor variants, Streamline offers quiet and versatile use throughout distribu¬tion centres. Handling containers, cartons, trays and soft packaging up to 50kg, Streamline can achieve a throughput of up to 3,500 containers per hour. The roller conveyor system offers transport speeds of up to 1.25 m/s, while the belt conveyor model achieves speeds of up to 2 m/s.
