Executive summary This clip shows our turntable pallet stretch wrapper at a customer site. The operator threads film through the yellow carriage, explains the control panel, and wraps a pallet of white cartons as the turntable spins and the carriage climbs and descends the black mast. At the end the film is cut by hand.

Climb turns per pallet
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Pallet height (illustrative) | 1,500 mm |
| Film width (illustrative) | 500 mm |
| Overlap (illustrative) | 50% |
| Climb per turn, 500 × 0.5 | 250 mm |
| Turns up the load, 1,500 ÷ 250 | 6 (one climb; top and bottom wraps added) |
What we set per pallet
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Wrap program | Load height and stability |
| Tension | Carton strength |
| Film | Width and thickness |
| Top sheet | Dust cover needed or not |
Selection checklist
- Pallet size and height.
- Load weight.
- Carton strength.
- Pallets per hour.
- Film width.
- Forklift access.
Safety
- Keep clear of the turning table.
- Do not reach into the carriage while it moves.
- Stop the machine before threading film.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-6.
Engineering FAQ

Q: What does the panel set? A: Top and bottom wraps, carriage speed, turntable speed and tension.
Q: How many turns up a pallet? A: 6 turns for a 1,500 mm pallet at 50% overlap with 500 mm film in the worked example.
Q: Can carton pallets be wrapped tightly? A: Yes, tension is set to carton strength.
Q: Can the film be cut by hand? A: Yes, the operator cuts the film by hand at the end of the cycle, as in the clip.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-6.
