Produce packaging - it is very simple.Besides the organization of the whole process will not require major investments from the entrepreneur.That is why the beginning businessman pay attention to the production of pallets or pallets.It totes a flat shape, made of metal, plastic or wood.It is intended for storage, as well as for the movement of goods using mechanical means.
pallets is a very promising business.This is because demand for these products on the market, which due to their high cost no foreign analogues.Besides attracting new entrepreneurs and the relatively small capital that will be needed to purchase the equipment for the production of pallets.
Audience
pallets as a business is a very promising option.This product is sure to be interested in those organizations that are in the course of its business activities using warehouses.Among the potential customers can identify several major groups, is:
- production facilities;
- shopping centers and supermarkets;
- logistics companies;
- agribusinesses.
Planning
the first phase of the planned idea you need a business plan, which will be detailed production of pallets from scratch.This document should be considered the main features of the production of these products.Domestic companies producing pallets, adhering to the recommendations of GOST 9557-87, produced "pallets".This product complies with all European standards and very competitive in the market.
the planning stage will need to determine how the process will be established.In order to release high-quality pallets, should give preference to the automated lines that will manufacture products in accordance with the requirements of GOST.
when planning future business will also need to find out the main distribution channels, backed with the agreements with the companies.An important step before starting your own business, would be a study of the likely competitors.Only after that it will be possible to make such an offer to its clients, which will be most beneficial for them.
Register

Acquisition of equipment
pallets as a business should begin with the purchase of the machine or line.They can be both new and used.And you should not immediately abandon the second option.Used equipment for pallets can have a decent condition and make good profit with little investment.
On the market today there are many proposals for Beginners own business entrepreneurs.Price lines and machines, which will be the production of wooden pallets is different depending on the year of issue and the terms of use.Some even offer dated 1980.However, if the machine time passed all overhauls, and today is in good condition, it is expedient to buy the equipment for the production of pallets.Price appliances, released in the next decades, much higher, which is disadvantageous in the early stages of business formation.
entrepreneur must also determine the volume of the business.This will determine the prioritization, which will choose the type of necessary equipment.
Workflow
pallets was not extremely difficult.For the release of these products require the premises, tools, equipment and raw materials.The main stages of the process include:
- sawing pieces on the board and on the boss;
- trim boards;
- trimming bosses;
- immediate assembly of the product.
These simple operation by virtue of each employee having the basic skills of using a circular saw, a drill and a screwdriver.Assembled trays are not handled in the future - not primed and painted.Finished products are simply stockpiled in anticipation of sales.
Raw materials for the production of pallets required timber, the percentage of moisture content that does not exceed 18-20%.Cheaper cost of raw wood.From it you can also do the workpiece, and then - to collect trays.Just to keep in mind that in this embodiment, the drying is required already finished product.But this would require a special room and additional financial resources for its heating.
That is why the most favorable purchase is already adjusted to the required state of the raw material.In order to somewhat reduce the cost of wood, it makes sense to conclude a contract with the timber by the producers themselves, bypassing the services of intermediaries.This will ensure a favorable acquisition of raw materials, has a good quality.Reduce the cost of transportation will allow placement of facilities for the production of pallets in the immediate vicinity of sources of wood.
raw material for the production of pallet boards consider the second and third grades or bars.Suit also drafts, consisting of glued sawdust.Boards can be used as Half and edging.Bruschi takes whole pallet, but the cost is twice the option of sawdust glued together.All currently existing requirements for the timber contains the GOST 9557-87.
necessary for the production of pallets are also nails.They fasten all parts harvested.
If the production of pallets established in small quantities, the product can be produced by hand without special lease premises, as well as the purchase of equipment.However, the streamlined sales in decent volumes need to equip the plant.
Manual assembly pallets
This method of production of pallets would require the acquisition of a special table.It features stops in length and width, which allows to set the desired size of the pallet.Before you begin, set the table horizontally.His grooves are laid out cones, and on them - boards for the bottom and top.Then one or two employees secure the workpiece with nails on both sides.For this purpose, conventional or pneumatic hammer.
Often sawmills churning trays by hand without tables, using waste products.Of course, this option requires a small cost, but to make a competitive product while it is impossible.Pallets are obtained cheap but poor quality and scanty quantities.
special table allows you to significantly speed up the process.It does not take much space, but it will allow to control the parameters of the product and its correct angles.In addition, the employee is exempt from operations such as measurement and control of squareness.This allows you to produce up to two hundred articles in one shift.
Semi-automatic line
using more efficient equipment, can significantly increase the number of products.This may be acquired semi-automatic line for the production of pallets.
It produces half pallets for one minute, and is served by two operators.It works with one driver and forklift.Such equipment requires a special room as a length of 6 meters, width - 2 m, height - 3 meters.The minimum cost of a semi-automatic line is in the range of five million rubles.Such equipment is produced in Europe, is capable of producing large volumes of finished products.In addition, it is long enough to do without a major overhaul.However, a major obstacle to the acquisition of such a line could be its price, which starts from the ten million rubles.
Automatic equipment
If there is an impressive amount of seed capital (up to 10 million rubles.) You can think about buying the most productive line.Automatic machines are able to produce up to 650 pallets for one minute.Thus produced products are high quality.Automatic lines, collected in Europe, will be able to operate without servicing for ten years.For their service will take five or six operators, and two or three Loader.
Profitability of
profitable business for the production of pallets will depend on the cost of raw materials and production volume.The more pallets produced in one shift, the faster the return on investment funds.
With proper organization of the business is one of the most profitable.Its return on average two or three years, because the pallets are in constant demand and their production takes a little time and effort.

plastic pallets can be manufactured by die-casting.Products obtained after the high pressure pressing of special raw materials in the molds.
Another method for manufacturing a plastic pallet is rotating.In this case, the plastic powder hardens into a rotating kiln form.There is another way - injection molding.
It is said that the reliability of plastic pallets depends on the method of their production.Significant role in this play and the equipment used.
