⚙️ Streamlining Logistics with the Integrated Pallet Wrapper & Scale
In modern warehousing and dispatch centers, efficiency and data accuracy are the cornerstones of a profitable supply chain. Traditional end-of-line packaging workflows often require a multi-step process: moving a loaded pallet to a standalone floor scale via forklift, recording the weight, and then transferring it to a separate stretch wrapping machine. This fragmented operation wastes valuable labor hours, increases forklift maintenance costs, and takes up significant warehouse floor space.
The FHOPE Industrial Turntable Pallet Stretch Wrapper with an Integrated Weighing System completely revolutionizes this bottleneck. By embedding high-precision heavy-duty load cells directly beneath the rotating turntable, this advanced system allows operators to securely wrap and precisely weigh pallets simultaneously in one seamless step. The digital weight is captured and instantly displayed on an industrial indicator, eliminating secondary handling entirely.
📈 ROI Insight: Eliminating the secondary weighing step saves an average of 1.5 to 2 minutes per pallet. For a distribution center handling 150 pallets per day, this operational upgrade reclaims up to 5 hours of forklift labor daily, resulting in full equipment amortization within the first year of deployment.
🛠️ Technical Specifications & Core Configurations
To ensure structural integrity and reliable data collection under demanding industrial conditions, the integrated turntable structure utilizes heavy-gauge steel and premium electronic sensors. Below are the standardized technical parameters for the integrated scale series:
| Technical Parameters | Specification Standard |
|---|---|

| Turntable Diameter | 1500 mm / 1650 mm / 2000 mm (Customizable) |
| Max. Wrapping Height | 2000 mm / 2400 mm (Customizable) |
| Turntable Speed | 0-12 rpm (Variable VFD Control) |
| Power Supply | 220V/380V/440V, 50/60Hz, 3-Phase (based on customer’s need) |
| Weighing Accuracy | ±0.5 kg |
| Film Pre-Stretch Ratio | 250% – 300% Powered Pre-stretch |
💡 Key Benefits of the Integrated Design
- 🚀 Instant Digital Weight Display: The industrial digital weight indicator is mounted directly onto the control cabinet panel or an independent stand. As soon as the forklift drops the load onto the turntable, the precise weight data is generated automatically, ensuring error-free data tracking for shipping documents and commercial invoices.
- 📦 Space-Saving Footprint: By merging two vital packaging functions into a single machine frame, you free up floor space previously occupied by industrial platform scales and transport ramps.
- 🔒 Maximum Load Stability: Featuring an adjustable powered pre-stretch film carriage, the machine distributes uniform tension around the pallet, securing irregular or heavy loads tightly to prevent shifting during international transport.
- 🧱 Rugged Impact Protection: The embedded load cells are engineered with built-in overload protection mechanisms, allowing them to withstand the heavy impact forces of forklift loading without losing calibration accuracy.
💡 Expert Pro Tip: If your facility deals with ultra-heavy pallet loads or requires frequent use of manual hand pallet jacks (rather than electric forklifts), we highly recommend opting for a pit-mounted (floor-embedded) turntable design. This allows the turntable surface to sit completely flush with your warehouse floor, allowing smooth, ramp-free access for hand jacks while isolating the weighing units from harsh horizontal forklift tire impacts.
🔄 Intelligent Control and Automation Integration
The control system is driven by a central PLC combined with an intuitive touch screen HMI. Operators can effortlessly choose between Automatic and Manual selectable operation modes. For advanced smart factories, the weighing digital indicator can be configured with communication modules (such as RS485, Profibus, or Ethernet) to export real-time weight data directly to your local ERP or WMS software, preventing freight chargebacks and streamlining inventory accuracy before dispatch.
