Automatic Shrink Wrap Machine For Pallets

 

Introduction to Stretch Film Machine

A stretch wrap machine is a piece of equipment that automatically wraps pallets with stretch wrap. This keeps the products housed inside of the pallet contained and safe from damage.

 

Types of Stretch Wrappers

Turntable

A turntable stretch wrapping machine will feature a turntable, which is a round, revolving platform that turns in a circle while the stretch film is dispensed and applied to the pallet load. This kind of stretch wrapper is ideal for use with most applications, making it extremely versatile.

Rotary Arm

A mechanical arm that rotates around and wraps the pallet is the key feature of rotary arm stretch wrappers. This kind of stretch wrapper is ideal for use with loads that are on either end of the weight spectrum. Whether the load is super light or super heavy, a rotary arm will work with it perfectly.

Horizontal

A horizontal wrapper dispenses the stretch film from around a ring that surrounds a horizontally laid product. This kind of stretch wrapper is ideal for wrapping lengthy items that would otherwise be hard to wrap, such as windows, doors, lumber, textiles, copper piping, and corrugated tubes.

 

 
Advantages of Wrapping Your Products with a Stretch Wrapping Machine
 
01/

Protection of Goods from Damage, Dust and Moisture
When you use the right stretch wrapping machine, it will ensure that your goods are securely wrapped to avoid any potential damage from dirt, dust, or moisture.

02/

Saves Time
By investing in a wrapping machine, you will save a lot of time. Manually wrapping pallets, boxes and other products can be tedious and also time-consuming. However, wrapping your goods and boxes for storage or transportation with an automatic stretch wrapping machine will save you a lot of time and effort that you can use in other important business processes.

03/

Improved Safety
A stretch wrapping system will keep your operator on the forklift which, in itself, is a safety measure. According to a recent survey, it was discovered that 20 percent of all forklift accidents involve people walking around the warehouse floor. Hand stretch wrapping causes wear-and-tear injuries, and upgrading to an automatic stretch wrapping machine will protect your employees. Automatic stretch wrappers require very little interaction from their operators. By simply pulling a cord from the forklift, it gets the pallet or goods wrapped. Additionally, the machine also ensures consistent wrapping that is safe and ready for transportation, while a manually wrapped pallet can easily topple and cause damage to your goods and the handler.

04/

Save on Film Costs
Compared to hand wrapping, both semiautomatic and automatic stretch wrapping machines will save your business money on high film costs. Automatic stretch wrapping machines have two film thread rollers where the second rollers' rotational speed is higher than the first, and this stretches the film. This increases the tensile strength of the film and reduces the overall costs. Rotary tower automatic stretch wrapping machines are more efficient.

05/

Faster Packaging
An automatic stretch wrapping machine with an enabled PLC control will aid in fastening the packaging process and help meet the bulk packaging requirements in your business. Stretch wrapping machines from Orion can be customized to fit your unique requirements. This is better than going for a regular machine with standard specifications, features, and accessories.

06/

Efficient Product Wrapping
When you use a stretch wrapping system for all your bulk packaging business requirements, you can ensure consistency in wrapping your products with a similar stretch and efficiency which otherwise wouldn't be possible through hand stretch wrapping. The manual wrapping process has variations in the stretch and efficiency of packaging your products. This means that an automatic stretch wrapping machine will ensure better packaging of your boxes, pallets, and products at your workplace.

07/

Increased Productivity
Who doesn't like the idea of getting more work done in less time? An automatic stretch wrapping machine will put your business on the path to efficiency. Your operators won't have to wait for the start and stop of wrapping cycles. With the placement of a pallet on a conveyor or pulling of a cord, the wrapping starts and stops automatically. From here the automatic stretch wrapping machines only get faster.

08/

Improved Inventory Control
Stacking similar products together makes inventorying easier. This also reduces the chances of product separation that can make inventory counts time-consuming. However, with clear and consistent stretch wraps, you can scan straight through it if you are using a scanning system.

Machine Stretch Wrap VS Hand Stretch Film
 

Cost

One of the most important factors you must consider before choosing a wrapping method is the cost. Can you afford a stretch wrapping machine? If you can't afford it, hand stretch wrap is a better alternative.

Available Labour

Hand wrapping is labour-intensive. Therefore, you must pay attention to the number of employees available and the hours they can work. In the end, labour will amount to a high cost. If the cost is higher than buying a machine, upgrade to a machine wrapper to save cost.

Speed and Durability

Hand film is designed for manual application by a worker and can be even easier when you use a hand held shrink wrap dispenser. As a result, it is naturally the slower choice of the two. In contrast, machine film is faster and, as a result, is a better choice if you're processing a huge packaging volume. Not only this, but machine wrap is stronger than manual dispenser packaging. But you can use a hand stretch film if you don't need to wrap packages or move them over a long distance frequently.

Volume and Pallet Load Size

Pallets are often labelled with various load sizes in alphabetical order to help with differentiation. The type of pallet determines stretch wrap requirements. For example, Pallet type A refers to pallets with uniform shapes and zero puncture points. It is the easiest to wrap; hence, you can use a local gauge wrapper with minimal stress on the material's integrity. On the other hand, Type B has several puncture points, and you require a stretch wrap with higher performance to prevent tearing during shipping. No two loads are the same. As a result, you must first evaluate the size and shape of your load to determine if you require a strong or high-performance wrapper to prevent damage during transit.

Different Types of Stretch Film

Custom Colored Stretch Film

Colored stretch wraps and films are transparent packaging solutions offered in a broad spectrum of hues.

Machine Stretch Film

As the name suggests, machine stretch film is designed to be applied by a machine. It offers several advantages over hand stretch film including efficiency, safety, speed, and lower materials cost. At the same time, machine stretch film leads to more secure loads.

Hand Stretch Film

Hand stretch film, in contrast to machine stretch film, is designed to be applied by hand. This type of film is regularly used in smaller capacity operations. While hand stretch film may not offer the efficiency, speed, and scale of machine stretch, it's an attractive option if you're looking to avoid the capital expense of a stretch film machine.

Pre-Stretched Types of Stretch Film

Pre-stretched film has been previously stretched to the limit or maximum breaking point. Because it has already been stretched, it doesn't require as much effort or energy in the application as a standard stretch film would need to achieve the same wrapping force.

UV Stabilized Stretch Film

UV stabilized stretch film offers weathering resistance and radiation absorption. Thanks to an extra UV blocker additive, this film can block out harmful UV radiation. Best of all, it's transparent, so you can still see through the film to identify the contents underneath.

 

Application of Stretch Wrapping Machine

 
 
01
 

Tissue and Sanitary Paper

Tissue products are very light and often sensitive to pressure. That's why they're regarded as being very unstable when packaged. Securing such products for shipping requires a high level of technical skill at the stretch-wrap machine as well as the best possible stretch film.

 
02
 

Drums and Hazardous Materials

Just imagine that your drums and hazardous materials were not sufficiently secured and an accident occurred while they were being shipped. You'd not only have to deal with damage to property and even injuries, you'd also face huge costs and paperwork.

 
03
 

Wood

Wood is a sensitive product that needs to be safeguarded from light and moisture and that needs to be protected during shipping. When coloured stretch films are used, care should be taken that they possess good opacity properties.

Automatic

As the name suggests, an automatic stretch wrapping machine does everything automatically. It carries a pallet to the wrap zone via roller conveyors. Once the machine is done wrapping the pallet, it sends it to the end of the packaging line down the exit conveyor. The next pallet is transferred to the wrap zone, and the process repeats.

Automatic Shrink Wrap Machine For Pallets

Semi-Automatic

A semi-automatic stretch wrapper works similarly to an automatic one. The main difference between the two is that the semi-automatic stretch wrappers require an operator to be present to load and unload the pallet and if needed manually adjust the machinery throughout the process.

Tips for Stretch Film Machine

 

What Kind of Film?
There's more than one kind of stretch wrap. If you want maximum efficiency, you must use the correct film for your application. Cast film is transparent, glossy, and stretchy, but it's more resistant to tearing. Blown film is more opaque and less stretchy, but it's extremely durable and provides higher load retention. Want a mix between cast and blown? Go with machine wrap, which has the durability and load retention of blown film but the stretchiness of cast film. Do you have products that are susceptible to humidity? Perforated films can maintain optimal airflow.


Quality over Quantity
Ensure you choose a high-quality film. Investing in higher-quality films and the right gauge of film will save you from future headaches.


Check the Threading
The next tip on how to use a stretch wrap machine more effectively is to check the threading. If you thread the film incorrectly through the rollers, it will negatively impact machine performance. Not sure of the right way to thread the film? The user's manual or the machine itself should feature a threading diagram that shows you the correct way.


Containment Force is Key
The key to securely wrapping pallets is to pay attention to the containment force. Containment force holds your loads together. Each load requires a different amount of containment force depending on its size, shape, and weight.


Keep up With Maintenance
Make sure to clean your stretch wrap machines, grease any moving parts, and fix any problems as soon as they emerge. A machine that's worn-down and dirty won't operate as smoothly as a machine that you maintain properly.


Right Machine
If your stretch wrap machines are outdated or poorly designed, no amount of human intervention can save them. Swapping out worn-down machines with new ones will make your business instantly more productive.

Ultimate FAQ Guide to Compound Air Bubble Film Machine

Q: What are stretch films used for?

A: When do I use Stretch Film? Usually, a stretch film holds boxes and products together on a pallet for transportation. It is also used to hold other objects together and protect objects during transport and storage. Stretch film can come in a variety of specialty films.

Q: What is a stretcher film?

A: Stretch wrap is a thin, stretchable plastic film (typically made from polyethylene) that is used to lock and secure cased goods onto a pallet. As the stretch film is wrapped around the pallet, tension is applied, enabling the film to extend its length by up to 300%.

Q: What is the difference between stretch wrap and stretch film?

A: In most instances, shrink wrap may be used to wrap a single product, but it may be used to wrap multiple products together. Unlike stretch film that is wrapped around a pallet of products or a product several times, shrink wrap is actually cut around the product using a shrink wrap bar or a heat sealer.

Q: Can I use stretch film for food?

A: In short, the answer is yes. Yet, there is a difference between stretch film and cling film that is often presumed to be true, but not accepted universally. In many instances, stretch films can be used to wrap food containers while cling film can be applied to the food itself.

Q: What type of film is stretch film?

A: Stretch wrap or stretch film is an extremely elastic plastic wrap that is stretched around various products (such as pallets of boxes) for shipping and transportation. The elastic recovery or stretchability of the film secures the products and ensures they are tightly bound.

Q: Is stretch wrap the same as plastic wrap?

A: Stretch wrap is much cheaper than other types of plastic wrap, making it one of the most economical packaging supplies. Stretch wrap also keeps dirt and moisture away from the packages and certain types of stretch wrap also offer UV protection.

Q: How long does stretch wrap last?

A: Most standard stretch films will degrade within several months of UV exposure. The degradation of stretch film is visible featuring, chalking, yellowing, discoloration, and ultimately decomposition. Unless your stretch film has a UV inhibitor additive, it will degrade in less than a year with continuous sun exposure.

Q: Which industries use stretch film?

A: Many different types of companies use colored stretch film. These include many kinds of food, electronic, chemical, toy, and consumer goods manufacturing businesses. Distribution companies also use colored stretch films because of the various benefits.

Q: What is stretch film made of?

A: Stretch films are made from linear low-density polyethylene resins. Since its early introduction in the early 70's, stretch film has become the most important method of unitizing product loads for transport.

Q: Is stretch film the same as cling film?

A: Cling film is primarily made from polyethylene. It is thinner and more flexible compared to stretch film. While cling film may not offer the same level of strength as stretch film, its self-clinging nature and static charge allow it to adhere tightly to surfaces, creating a secure and airtight seal around food items.

Q: Is stretch film shrink wrap?

A: Shrink film is used for packaging products. It shrinks to form around the shape of the products being packaged. Stretch film is used to wrap pallets of pre-packaged goods prior to shipping. Shrink film does not stretch and you cannot use it as a stretch film.

Q: What is another name for stretch film?

A: Stretch wrap or stretch film, sometimes known as pallet wrap, is a highly stretchable plastic film that is wrapped around items. The elastic recovery keeps the items tightly bound. In contrast, shrink wrap is applied loosely around an item and shrinks tightly with heat.

Q: What is the most common stretch film?

A: LLDPE stands for linear low-density polyethylene. It is the most common stretch wrap material.

Q: Can stretch wrap be reused?

A: In short, yes, stretch film can be recycled. Stretch film is generally made with linear low density polyethylene, or LLDPE, landing it as a category four item in recycling programs. For many plastics the real world answer is more complex.

Q: What is the difference between cast and stretch film?

A: Blown stretch wrap has less gloss. This attribute reduces the amount of reflection under warehouse lighting, which allows easier product scanning and identification. Cast stretch wrap has higher levels of gloss, which is the result of the quicker cooling process as well as the types of resin used in the manufacturing.

Q: What's the difference between stretch film vs cling film?

A: Both stretch films and cling films are plastic wraps used for packaging, but each material is used differently. Stretch film and stretch wraps are used to wrap cartons and pallets of products. It's exceptional durability and elasticity allows it to forge a reliable barrier that securely holds pallets boxes or cartons in place. The bond is so strong it's capable of securing boxes throughout transportation and storage. Alternatively, cling film protects food items to increase its shelf life without deteriorating quality.

Q: Is it necessary to have a stretch film machine in my packaging line?

A: If you are employing human labour for stretch wrapping, and do not have relevant machinery, you will need to use hand pallet wrap. If you want to automate or semi-automate the operation, you will need to use a stretch wrapper machine, which would make use of machine stretch film.

Q: What are the maintenance requirements for a stretch film machine?

A:  It all starts with overall cleanliness
Keeping your stretch wrapper clean and free from debris is the first step to ensure your equipment is running smoothly. This holds true for all configurations of stretch wrappers – turntable, orbital or rotary, both semi-automatic and fully-automatic.
● Avoid film buildup around rotating mechanisms
With stretch wrappers, especially turntables, there is always risk of film getting wrapped around rotating mechanisms. If film buildup is not addressed, it starts preventing free rotation and can cause strain on the bearing. Over time, this will cause strain on motor, blow fuses and shorten the lifespan of the motor. As a result, you will have to deal with lengthy downtime and costly repairs. To avoid unplanned downtime and expense, check rotating mechanisms regularly, ensuring they are free from debris and film buildup.
● Keep sensors clean for optimal stretch wrapper performance
Photo-reflective electronic sensors are meant to ensure the pallet is wrapped correctly. Sensors are typically sealed and are out of sight. However, they need to be cleaned for the pallet wrapper to function properly. Most importantly, keeping sensors clean minimizes the risk of equipment failure and costly production delays.
● Maintain drive systems for consistent productivity
Stretch wrapper drive systems typically use a transmission mechanism. It consists of chains or belts, or a combination of both. Properly lubricate chains for smooth operation. Do not over-lubricate. Belts need to be cleaned and inspected periodically. Dirt on a belt can causes slippage of the drive, resulting in incorrect wrapping. To avoid improper containment or excessive film usage, keep the belt clean. In addition, regularly inspect belt for fraying or any damage. Otherwise, when belt breaks, wrapper will be down until replacement belt is installed.
● Lubricate grease points
Grease points on a wrapper include bearings, bushings or other moving parts. Firstly, lack of lubrication can cause binding and heating up of components. Furthermore, sufficient wear may result in equipment failure. Proper lubrication of grease points is crucial for a smooth-running equipment. Avoid over-greasing.
● Keep prestrech rollers clean to avoid film over-usage
Rollers constantly prestretch film for optimal film usage. Over time, the rubber gets coated with dust and other particles from the stretch film and the environment. As the rollers get dirty, they loose the ability to properly prestretch the film and deliver proper containment. Furthermore, dirt on the rollers reduces tackiness. This, in turn, results in substantial increase in film usage. The rollers should be sprayed with isopropyl alcohol and scrubbed down with a brush. Water should not be used to clean rollers to avoid film slippage.

Q: What is the maximum film roll width that a stretch film machine can handle?

A: The width of a standard machine stretch wrap roll can stretch to 80 inches.

Q: How to stretch wrap a pallet?

A: Extract approximately a yard of plastic off the stretch film roll, squeeze 8 to 10 inches of the end together to form a rope shape. Thread the rope part through one corner of the pallet. A knot is not necessary. Begin wrapping around the base of the pallet. Wrap the bottom of the pallet at least five times while keeping the film tight as pulled off the roll. Slowly work your way up the box, focusing on maintaining a tight wrap. The goal is to have all of the products stay together as one. Once at the top of the pallet, push the top boxes to see if they move or if they are one with the bottom boxes. If they move, wrap your way back down to the bottom of the pallet.
