The Problem with Traditional Material Handling Let’s face it: moving materials around can be a pain. Traditional methods often rely on wood, metal, or low-quality plastics that are prone to damage, splintering, or cracking. This creates a safety hazard for workers and can lead to product damage, resulting in costly returns and wasted materials. Wood, especially, can absorb moisture, leading to warping and contamination. Metal can dent and scratch both the material being handled and the surrounding equipment. And those cheap plastic options? They just don’t hold up under repeated use. “We talked to a lot of people in industries like manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing,” explains the REHAU spokesperson. “They were all facing similar challenges: damage to product, worker injuries, and the constant need to replace damaged handling equipment. We knew we could do better.” Introducing the REHAU Plate Block Series: A Game Changer The Plate Block Series is a modular system designed to securely hold and move a wide variety of materials, from delicate electronics to heavy industrial components. What makes it different? Several key features: High-Performance Polymer: Forget brittle plastics. These blocks are made from a specially formulated, high-density polymer that’s incredibly strong, durable, and resistant to wear and tear. It can withstand heavy loads, impacts, and extreme temperatures. Modular Design: The blocks interlock securely, allowing you to create custom configurations to fit your specific needs. Need to handle a long, awkward component? Just add more blocks. Need to create a secure cradle for a sensitive item? The modularity makes it easy. Non-Marring Surface: This is a big one. The surface of the blocks is designed to prevent scratches, dents, and other damage to the materials being handled. This is crucial for protecting high-value items and minimizing returns. It’s also gentler on the surrounding equipment. Lightweight and Easy to Handle: Despite their strength, the blocks are surprisingly lightweight, making them easy for workers to move and maneuver. This reduces fatigue and improves productivity. Hygienic and Easy to Clean: The smooth, non-porous surface is easy to clean and disinfect, making it ideal for use in industries with strict hygiene requirements, such as food processing and pharmaceuticals. Chemical Resistance: Resistant to many common industrial chemicals and solvents. Who Benefits from the Plate Block Series? The applications for the Plate Block Series are incredibly diverse. Here are just a few examples: Manufacturing: Protecting work-in-progress from damage during assembly and transport. Creating custom fixtures for machining and welding. Logistics & Warehousing: Securing pallets and preventing shifting during transport. Creating custom dunnage to protect fragile items. Automotive: Handling engine components, body panels, and other sensitive parts. Electronics: Protecting circuit boards, displays, and other delicate electronic components. Aerospace: Handling aircraft parts and components. Food Processing: Supporting and moving food products while maintaining hygiene standards. Beyond the Blocks: REHAU’s Commitment to Partnership REHAU doesn’t just sell products; they offer solutions. Their team of engineers and experts works closely with customers to understand their specific needs and develop custom configurations for the Plate Block Series. They can even help with the design and implementation of complete material handling systems. “We see ourselves as partners with our customers,” says the spokesperson. “We want to help them improve their efficiency, safety, and bottom line. The Plate Block Series is just one example of how we’re doing that.” Availability and Pricing The REHAU Plate Block Series is available now.
