Safeguarding Automation at Berry Plastics
Project Overview:
WireCrafters worked alongside Airline Hydraulics to provide a machine-guarding solution for Berry Plastics, meeting a vital safety requirement in a highly automated area of the facility. The application was designed to safeguard employees from a hazardous piece of automation while still supporting efficient, uninterrupted operation. By combining WireCrafters’ robust machine guarding systems with Airline Hydraulics’ automation expertise, the solution delivered enhanced protection without compromising productivity.
Customer Description
Berry Plastics identified a significant safety concern surrounding a stretch wrapper that posed an increased risk to employees due to its automated operation. As a fast-moving, potentially hazardous piece of automation, the stretch wrapper required a solution to limit employee access to dangerous areas while the equipment was in use. Reducing the risk of injury without slowing down production was a key priority, making machine guarding essential to improving overall safety and creating a more secure working environment around the equipment.

Airline Hydraulics selected WireCrafters for this project based on the reliability, value, and overall ease of implementation of the solution. The machine guarding system was sturdy, competitively priced, and designed for straightforward installation, enabling the project to move forward efficiently without unnecessary downtime. Quick delivery timelines helped keep the automation schedule on track, while WireCrafters’ responsive customer service ensured clear communication throughout the process. In addition, the guarding solution was fully compliant with applicable safety standards, giving Airline Hydraulics and Berry Plastics confidence that employee safety and regulatory requirements were both being met.
