Phoenix Handling Solutions

Phoenix Handling Solutions was formed in 2010 as a result of our customers and suppliers requiring a solid UK base to provide high quality service.

The reason for the formation of the company was to establish an automation company with the support of our ‘Principle Suppliers’, ie Newtec Case, Newtec Bag (France) and Newtec Alvey (Belgium), Tosa srl (Italy) Thimon (France) and Costi srl (Italy).

The business has more than 50 years combined experience in material handling systems, we provide a wealth of knowledge to be gained by our customers.

One of Phoenix's key strengths is the supply of complete 'Turnkey' solutions, incorporating for example, auto case packing/shrink wrapping of products, auto palletising with robots or layer palletiser and including pallet wrapping/pallet labelling etc.

We have the expertise to pull together complete lines using our wealth of knowledge gained over 50 years. The benefit to our customers is complete piece of mind that total responsibility for the project lies with PHS, in terms of specifying the correct machinery, project management, risk assessments, method statements and CDM if required.

If you require individual machines or complete packing lines, then we can supply exactly what is required. Should pack or pallet handling conveyor systems be required, we can supply these also, as we have UK relationships with conveyor manufacturers, working hand in hand with PHS.

Robotic Palletising Systems

For more information on robotic palletising systems please visit our website.

Palletising systems include robotic palletising systems and are supplied by both Newtec Group and Costi srl. The range includes Fanuc, ABB, Kuka or Euro type robots fully integrated into a complete line if required.

Also we have in the range 'Gantry Robots' with multi axis as required to handle many lines. Costi specialise in a moving robot, namely the MP 35 system which can have up to 8 inputs/building positions with bar code scanning and sortation systems. We have many references in Europe and UK with single robot cells or multiple robot cells, all of which can be viewed if required.

Stretch Wrapping Machines

We are specialists in 'Stretch Wrapping Machineryincluding for rotating turntable, rotating arm and ring machines, with many variants. We can offer film roping, auto film changing, pallet lifters etc. The 'Principle Supplier' we work with, is The Tosa Group incorporating CMR a manufacturer of strapping machines, both of which are well established companies with many references worldwide. Our machinery is very reliable and robust and can be seen in many UK companies.

Spiral Stretch Wrapping Machines

PHS offers a complete range of spiral stretch wrapping machines, including rotating turntable, rotating arm and high speed ring machines. All machines can have auto film changing if required and corner post applicators. Machines vary in specification and price according to the customers requirements.

Shrink Hooding Machines

Pallet Shrink Wrapping Machines are supplied by Thimon, France. They are the pioneers of pallet shrink wrapping systems supplying shrink ovens, shrink frames, Shrink hooding machines and integrated pallet handling systems. Thimon is a world wide player in this industry supplying machines to many large 'Blue Chip' customers, in the glass industry, paper, buidling, chemical, food & beverage industries for example. There are many UK references for Thimon that can be seen if required. Thimon has a state of the art factory in Aix-les-Bains, France which is very impressive for potential customers to visit and make sample tests if required to determine the correct solution. We have a system to test the integrity of the finished load in our factory to give the reassurance to our customers that they have made the right selection..

Pallet Stretch Hooding Machines

Pallet Stretch Hooding Machines are manufactured by Thimon with the Cover-Pal 6000 being the flagship machines. We have a number of 'Patents' on the machine which can be explained to our customers. The beauty of the Thimon machine is that we make a new hood whilst one is being applied to the previous load, this means the new hood seal is perfectly sealed and cooled before stretching it. Hoods are prepared at low level, we no longer have the 'Tower Machine' that you see with others on the market with the running gear at high level. Our machine is very easy to access and very safe as you do not have many vertical steps to climb from a H&S perspective. We can use a range of film gauges to suit the load to be wrapped and we work with repuatbel film suppliers in the UK and France to optimise the machine performance. Typically Thimon sell machines in the following industries, food, beverage, building, chemical, paper for example. We can offer single reel machines or multi reel with up to 5 bobins if required according to the customers pallet range. Thimon have machines in their workshop for testing customer product if required. We have UK installations that can be viewed if required.

We have both hot welding and friction welding systems to offer. For the paper & board industry we have a machine namely the CAM 45 T2 machine which compresses the loads prior to strapping to exhaust the air to ensure the result is a very stable/rigid pack. Top pressing force is adjusted via the HMI and there is a gauge to show the pressing force. Machines come complete with pop up turning cross conveyors, 2 bayonets and can provide single, double or 2 x 2 strapping as required. Again CMR have a large range of machines to offer, whether it be for packs or pallets. All machines and the heads are made by CMR and are extremely robust and reliable.

Newtec cater for all budgets and the range is flexible to provide a solution for most budgets and speeds. Machines can be simple pich and place such as the G300 or G500 system with low level infeed up to the high level infeed machines with multiple inputs if required. Electronic sack spacing with encoder and modular belts are standard on all Newtec palletisers, which means we can control both pack spacing and avoid pack damage etc. Should bag placing and filling be required, then Newtec can provide the complete solution to your needs.

Layer Palletising Systems

We also have a large range of layer palletising systems with high or low level infeeds. We provide robotic row and layer preparation systems as required to provide very flexible solutions to cater for ever changing pack formats. We use the latest servo/encoder/modular belt infeed systems to handle the packs whilst not creating any back pressure to the product or damage. Pallet patterns can be adjusted via the operator terminal as required and the standard HMI has a multitude of functions available to both operator and technican. All machines are easy to access and maintain and can be viewed again in many UK or other European countries.
