A palletized load is stretch wrapped on the turntable, then horizontally strapped within the same station, ensuring the load exits both fully wrapped and securely banded.

The film carriage lays stretch film in an even spiral while the turntable rotates, the strapping head then places its horizontal bands around the already-wrapped stack, and the finished load leaves the station wrapped and banded in a single pass. Because wrap and strap share the same frame, there is no transfer conveyor between the two operations and no second operator position to staff.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-both\">Why wrap and strap together<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Film holds the load together.<\/strong> Wrapping stops boxes shifting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Straps add containment.<\/strong> Horizontal bands around the load resist bulging and impacts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>One station.<\/strong> No second machine or transfer conveyor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Less floor space.<\/strong> Wrap and strap share one footprint.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Used together, the two materials cover different failure modes: film contains the stack against dust, moisture and box migration, while the horizontal straps resist outward bulging on taller loads and keep the unit rigid against transit impacts. A load that is only strapped can still shift between bands, and a load that is only wrapped can relax or bulge over time, so plants that ship long distances or stack high often specify both.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"straps\">Strap spacing<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Worked example (illustrative).<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Item<\/th>\n<th>Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Load height (illustrative)<\/td>\n<td>1,400 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Straps (illustrative)<\/td>\n<td>3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spacing, 1,400 \u00f7 (3 + 1)<\/td>\n<td>350 mm between straps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Strap girth on 1,200 \u00d7 1,000 mm, 2 \u00d7 (1,200 + 1,000)<\/td>\n<td>4,400 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Strap per load, 3 \u00d7 4,400<\/td>\n<td>13,200 mm, about 13.2 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Straps sit at even heights across the load profile to resist outward pallet bulging during transit.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"setup\">What we set per load<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Setting<\/th>\n<th>Depends on<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Straps<\/td>\n<td>Number and height per load<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Strap<\/td>\n<td>PP or PET strap<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film<\/td>\n<td>Pre-stretch and wraps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Turntable<\/td>\n<td>Pallet size and weight<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The strap count and heights follow the load profile: taller or unstable stacks take more bands, and the strap type is chosen between PP and PET per load weight and storage duration.
