Training
Greener Corporation will custom design training programs to meet the needs of your packaging operation, and empower your people to improve seal quality, increase productivity, and reduce costs on horizontal flow wrappers and vertical FFS baggers.
Training can can include classroom and/or participatory sessions, and can occur at your facility or in our newly expanded Packaging Research & Training Center, where we have a wrapper and a bagger to provide hands-on experience.
Training Parameters
Audience
Greener’s training programs can be geared toward all levels:
- Line operators
- Maintenance personnel
- Engineers
- Managers
- Business owners
Format
We can present training programs in one or a combination of formats, at your facility or in Greener’s Packaging Center:
- Classroom presentations, which can include hands-on instruction utilizing our portable flow wrapper training head
- Hands-on, participatory, instruction on your packaging machinery or on the flow wrapper and vertical bagger in our Packaging Center
- Individualized skills assessment and instruction
Objectives
Our trainings can cover the full range of integrated packaging processes on horizontal flow wrappers and vertical baggers.
In addition to learning about machine setup, troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance, your team will better understand basic packaging concepts and the complex cause and effect of each adjustment or variable, so they can make more informed, effective decisions for each unique situation they encounter.
We will add new information and skills to your existing operating procedures and help you document your packaging knowledge so it can be reinforced and passed down to new team members.
