Executive summary This clip shows our M type pallet wrapping machine with an integrated strapping head. A pallet of white boxes is stretch wrapped on the blue turntable, then strapped in the same station, so the load leaves both wrapped and banded. One station saves floor space and a second handling step.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Load | A pallet of white boxes on the blue turntable |
| Wrapping | The turntable turns while film wraps the load |
| Strapping | The strapping head bands the wrapped load |
| Result | The load is wrapped and strapped in one station |
| Close-ups | Film path and frame details |
Why wrap and strap together
- Film holds the load together. Wrapping stops boxes shifting.
- Straps add containment. Horizontal bands around the load resist bulging and impacts.
- One station. No second machine or transfer conveyor.
- Less floor space. Wrap and strap share one footprint.
Strap spacing
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Load height (illustrative) | 1,400 mm |
| Straps (illustrative) | 3 |
| Spacing, 1,400 ÷ (3 + 1) | 350 mm between straps |
| Strap girth on 1,200 × 1,000 mm, 2 × (1,200 + 1,000) | 4,400 mm |
| Strap per load, 3 × 4,400 | 13,200 mm, about 13.2 m |
What we set per load
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Straps | Number and height per load |
| Strap | PP or PET strap |
| Film | Pre-stretch and wraps |
| Turntable | Pallet size and weight |
Selection checklist
- Pallet size and load height.
- Load weight.
- Straps per load.
- PP or PET strap.
- Film wraps.
- Pallets per hour.
Safety
- Keep clear of the turntable and strapping head.
- Stop the machine before changing film or strap.
- Do not stand on the turntable.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-6.
Engineering FAQ
Q: What does the M type do? A: It wraps a pallet and straps it in the same station.
Q: Why combine wrapping and strapping? A: Film holds the boxes together; horizontal straps add containment around the load.
Q: How far apart are the straps? A: Load height divided by straps plus one; 350 mm in the worked example.
Q: Which strap does it use? A: PP or PET strap, set per load.
Q: Does it save space? A: Yes, wrap and strap share one footprint.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-6.
