Professional Repair for all Brands
Collapsible plastic pallet boxes, such as Schoeller Allibert’s Magnum Classic and Magnum Optimum, the Eurobin and YOYObin and also Orbis, Auer or Cabka pallet boxes often need to be removed from the logistics process because of cracks and damages or broken parts. This is also the case with sleeve pack boxes, like all models from KTP, Ecopack, Thorpack, WiSales, and Söhner.
Until recently, broken pallet boxes and sleeve packs had to be destroyed due to the dangers of further use. However, with our professional plastic welding, they get a second life, for a fraction of their price!
Reusing, saving money & carbon footprint
During the professional repair process, the defective pallet boxes are professionally welded with plastic welding wire, after which the welds are smoothly polished.
After repairing cracks and broken parts, the pallet boxes and sleeve packs are generally even more stable.
During a careful selection process, pallet boxes with serious damage in the load-bearing parts are rejected as a total loss. On average, 80-90% of the defective pallet boxes can be repaired. The total loss can be used as donors for spare parts.
Advanced Technology
The plastic repair process has been optimised over the years to achieve an 80-90% success rate. For example, welding wire is manufactured specifically for each pallet box manufacturer and is individually tailored to the material being repaired.
To achieve the highest and strongest weld quality, the contact area of the weld is crucial, as is the cleanliness of the parts being welded.
Therefore, a crack in the plastic is first cleaned and degreased; then a V-shape is milled into create a larger surface for the weld. Only then is this V-shape filled with a welding seam.
All work is done under the highly valued German DVS certificate, the highest possible certificate for plastic welding.

For the 10-20% of the repair pool that are selected as total loss, ZAMKO in most cases can offer the choice to supplement the pool with used pallet boxes of the same model. These are all selected and in excellent condition. Helping agin with imporving our customers carbon footprint.
