pallet stretch wrapper operation

The video shows the pallet stretch wrapper operation: material loading, wrapping and stop.

The operator loads the roll of stretch film onto the film carriage. The carriage has rollers that help feed the film into the machine.

The operator closes the safety cover of the film carriage to engage the drive mechanism that will feed the film.

The operator threads the leading edge of the film under the film guides and clamps. This prepares the film for wrapping the pallet.

The operator presses the start button to begin the wrapping cycle. The pallet turntable indexes the first side of the pallet into position.

The film carriage begins feeding the stretch film and the wrapping arm guides the film around the pallet.

The stretching system activates to stretch the film and create a tight wrap around the pallet as the turntable rotates.

The machine continues indexing the pallet and wrapping each side with stretched film.

After wrapping the final side, the film sealers activate to cut the film and heat seal the leading edge to the final wrapped layer.

The turntable stops rotating and the wrapping cycle is complete. The operator removes the wrapped pallet.

The operator presses the stop button to end the current wrapping cycle and prepare for the next pallet.

So in summary, the key steps are loading the film, threading the film, starting the wrapping cycle, indexing and rotating the pallet while wrapping with stretched film, sealing the film, and stopping the machine between cycles.

There are several benefits to using a pallet stretch wrapper, including:

  1. Improved load stability: Stretch wrapping secures the load to the pallet, reducing the risk of goods shifting or falling during transportation or storage. This helps prevent damage to the goods and improves safety.
  2. Protection from moisture and dust: Stretch wrapping provides a barrier against moisture and dust, helping to keep the goods clean and dry during transportation or storage.
  3. Cost savings: Stretch wrapping can be more cost-effective than other methods, such as strapping or banding, as it typically requires less material and can be done more quickly.
  4. Increased efficiency: Pallet stretch wrappers can wrap pallets much faster than manual wrapping, saving time and increasing productivity.
  5. Customizable wrapping: Some pallet stretch wrappers allow for customizable wrapping patterns, which can be beneficial for irregularly shaped loads or fragile goods that require special handling.
  6. Sustainability: Stretch wrapping can be more environmentally friendly than other methods, as it typically uses less material and can be made from recyclable materials.
