Rochester Drug Cooperative (RDC), Rochester, NY is the nation’s fastest growing healthcare distributor.

Prior to installing two high-speed, automatic strapping machines, line workers at RDC manually threaded safety seals through the tote box lids so pharmacy receivers could see immediately if any tampering had occurred prior to delivery.  Although effective for their purpose, besides being time consuming, the seals were safety issues when broken tabs littered the floor and posed a slip hazard.  The TRP-5 utilized here is a standard bundler with several tabletop, press and backstop options for conveyor line applications. The system will easily handle tubs, cartons and bundles. For RDC, Schaeffer chose a belt-driven conveyor top and traffic light warning system with an acoustic malfunction signal to alert machine operators of need for a strap coil change, system malfunction or backup. The system is capable of applying 30 straps per minute on average; […]
