Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial
French term or phrase: fardeler/fardelage
The following extracts are from a document relating to a company's production of various oils and related products and the new palletisation system they've implemented which has reduced the number of operators required:

"Il fallait également mettre en place des systèmes d’accumulation qui donnent le temps de **fardeler** la palette une fois celle-ci terminée et ce, sans interrompre la sortie des produits, qui s’accumulent pendant l’évacuation de la palette vers l’entrepôt de stockage des produits finis."

"En augmentant la productivité des machines (moins d’interruptions au moment du **fardelage** et de l’évacuation des palettes vers le stock),....."

I've temporarily put "wrapping" in the first instance but I'm not happy with it. If anyone could suggest anything better I would be msot grateful.

Many TIA,

Vicky

to pack / packing


Explanation:
Just a guess, but this link looks like it might mean 'to pack':

http://dictionary.die.net/furl

"Furl \Furl\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. Furld; p. pr. & vb. n.
Furling.] [Contr. fr. furdle, fr. fardel bundle: cf. F.
ferler to furl, OF. fardeler to pack. See Furdle, Fardel,
and cf. Farl.]
To draw up or gather into close compass; to wrap or roll, as
a sail, close to the yard, stay, or mast, or, as a flag,
close to or around its staff, securing it there by a gasket
or line. Totten."

agree  David Mousseau: agree - just do a google image search for "wrapping machine" and you'll get many, many examples. This seems like one of those words where we ought to have one of those fancy-schmancy technical terms... but no, it's just plain ol' wrapping, I think

agree  chris collister: Often using an irradiated polymer which causes it to shrink when heated, hence giving a nice tight bundle. "Shrink-wrap", perhaps?
1 hr
  -> thanks Chris. The shrink wrapper uses the plastic but sometimes you have metal straps. Does the text explains what sort of wrapper it is?
