Automotive Manufacturers Use Polypropylene Dividers to Protect and Efficiently Transport Small Automotive Parts Between Plants

DS Smith Plastics Alcala de Henares offers customized polypropylene plastic dividers to transport small automotive parts, such as auto forks, between assembly plants.

One challenge shared by automotive manufacturers is the safe transportation of small automotive parts such as auto forks, between assembly departments or plants. To meet these requirements, DS Smith Plastics offers customized dividers with special hollows to separate the parts for maximum protection and space optimization. The dividers are also completely customizable, so they can be designed to fit in any sized container the customer may need and can specialize in the transportation of a variety of automotive parts.

Some small automotive parts are soiled with oil as the result of the production process, requiring a material, such as polypropylene plastic, that is resilient to oil, water and other chemicals maintaining the sleek and clean design of the dividers, making them perfect for the luxury sector. Dividers made of polypropylene plastic are reusable, and when used as single-use by the customer, they can be recycled for a second life-cycle.

Polypropylene dividers manufactured by DS Smith Plastics can be fit to an outer packaging box and both the dividers and the outer polypropylene plastic box. The dividers can be customised or adapted to any part to securely protect and efficiently transport them throughout the supply or manufacturing chain.

DS Smith Plastics capabilities include designing services for optimizing the packaging thus maximum the number of parts that could be transported per divider or box.
