Adding cross straps fixes the load vertically, so the wrapped unit keeps its shape in storage and transit.<\/p>\n<p>Doing both steps in one station removes a separate strapping machine from the line and shortens the floor layout. Strap pattern and loop count are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-the-system-does\">What the system does<\/h2>\n<p>The system is a single-station pallet unit: a pallet load sits on a rotating platform, film is applied around the sides, and an overhead beam with a strapping head lowers straps across the load.<\/p>\n<p>When the wrap and strap steps are complete, the film is cut and the unit is ready to move on. Pallet size and film grade are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"rotating-platform-and-overhead-beam\">Rotating platform and overhead beam<\/h2>\n<p>The rotating platform is a circular turntable that carries the pallet and load through the wrap cycle. An overhead beam above the platform holds the film feed and the strapping head and moves across the load as required.<\/p>\n<p>The frame stands on two side columns with guide rails and a cable carrier for the moving head. Platform size and beam travel are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"wrap-and-cross-strap-cycle\">Wrap and cross-strap cycle<\/h2>\n<p>The cycle starts with the load turning while stretch film is applied around the sides. The overhead beam then moves across the load and lowers straps onto the surface to fix it.<\/p>\n<p>The straps are tightened, the beam returns to its home position, and the film is cut to finish the cycle. Film turns and strap tension are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-the-footage-shows\">What the footage shows<\/h2>\n<p>Our footage shows an automated pallet wrapping and cross-strapping system running a single cycle. A stacked load on a pallet turns on the rotating platform. Stretch film wraps the sides, an overhead beam moves across and lowers straps over the load, and the film is cut as the cycle finishes. It is a general demonstration, so your pallet size, film grade and strap pattern are confirmed with us per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"typical-configuration\">Typical configuration<\/h2>\n<p>Figures below list functional design boundaries rather than numeric values, and are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Parameter<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Typical range, confirmed per project<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Workpiece<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">stacked carton or box load on a pallet<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Platform<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">circular turntable that rotates the load for wrapping<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Wrap<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">transparent stretch film applied around the sides<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Cross-strap<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">straps lowered by the overhead beam and tightened<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Beam<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">overhead unit with film feed and strapping head<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Finish<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">film cut at the end of the cycle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Control<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">system control with cycle settings; panel layout per project<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Electrical supply<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">380 V three phase 50 Hz, or 220 V single phase for light machines, selected per project<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"selection-checklist\">Selection checklist<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Question<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Confirm per project<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Pallet range<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">footprint, stacked height and load weight<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Film<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">width, thickness and wrap turns required<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Straps<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">number of straps, cross pattern and tension<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Cycle<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">wrap, strap and film-cut sequence timing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Layout<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">single-station footprint and takeaway path<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Electrical supply<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">voltage, phase and frequency on site<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"operation-and-safety\">Operation and safety<\/h2>\n<p>Place the pallet load on the rotating platform, start the cycle, and let the system wrap, strap and cut the film automatically.
