Stretch wrap is the most widely used packaging solution when it comes to transporting different kinds of products. This versatile and convenient material significantly evolved since its first appearance on the market. It became a reliable, cheap material that is irreplaceable in the packaging process of different kinds of products.
It is ideal for:
Securing irregularly shaped items and load,
Wrapping pallets,
Protection against dirt,
Protection against scratches,
Protection against frost and moisture.
Stretch wraps are characterized by a number of excellent features such as:
high transparency,
resistance to damage,
great stretching ability,
they do not leave traces on the product after removal,
affordability.
The choice of stretch wrap type depends on:
The packaging type and system,
Product size, type, and sensitivity,
Transportation mode,
Packaging machine.
Stretch wrap machine
There are different kinds of stretch wrap machines. Those include:
Manual machines,
Automatic machines,
Mini-sheet wrappers,
Household wrapping machines,
Semi-automatic machines.
The Stretch wrap machine and stretch wrap choice are closely related. The choice of stretch wrap product sometimes depends on the machine type, while some machines can work only with certain stretch wrap types.
Wrapping machine features that affect its quality include:
Minimum, maximum and adjustable rotation speed
Independently adjustable speed option
Special programming with a high and low number of rotations
Photoelectric detection of the pallet height
Manual operation mode
Precise phase stop at the end of the cycle.
Pallet wrapping machine
Pallet wrapping machines are very important types of wrapping machines in different industries and the transportation sector today.
There are many different kinds of pallet packaging machines and, generally, they can be:
Vertical pallet wrapping machines,
Horizontal machines,
Manual machines,
Semi-automatic machines,
Automatic machines,
Robotic pallet wrapping machines.
Robotic machines are becoming more popular each day. Such superb devices are fast, reliable and time-saving. Additionally, industries save a lot of money after introducing high-quality robotic wrapping machines into their packaging process.
Innovative pallet wrapping technologies
Properly extruded and optimally tightened vertical pallet wrapping pads with pre-stretch foil will not only save the wrapping material but your pallet will be packed compactly and thus protected from damage and overturning during transport.
In the last decade, a new pallet wrapping system has been developed. It is a result of cooperation between the packaging machine manufacturers and the stretch wrap manufacturers. The result is the revolutionary way of packing a pallet hermetically, cheaply, and quickly.
This innovative technology is groundbreaking in many ways. It significantly improves packaging quality. Pallets packed in this way are absolutely waterproof, as the wrap fully covers the palette. This is very important when it comes to non-standard forms and pallet sizes.
Furthermore, this technology does not require any kind of heating, which contributes to a great deal of energy savings. This also leads to increased safety during the work process as well as lower fire protection costs.
In addition, using heat-shrink foil can cause damage to materials such as plastics due to its adhesion to the goods during the thermal process. As this new technology does not use heat, such a risk does not exist.
Amazing cooperation between stretch wrap producers and wrapping and pallet wrapping machine producers enabled exquisite time and money savings. A single wrapping machine can easily wrap up more than 150 pallets per hour.
Improvement of the stretch wrap technology has led to the simplification of the wrapping process and, consequently, a significant reduction of the cost of the wrapping machine maintenance compared to all other wrapping systems.
