Pallet packers are specialized equipment used for packing goods on pallets using stretch film. With their help, you can quickly and conveniently wrap goods in film, providing them with reliable protection during transportation and storage.
Types of pallet wrappers.
- Manual pallet wrappers are the simplest and most economical option . They are simple film dispensers that the operator uses to wrap the pallet with film manually.
- Semi-automatic pallet wrappers are machines that automatically wrap pallets with film, but under operator control. His task usually becomes servicing the machine, setting up the packaging program, replacing film, and loading and unloading operations.
- Automatic pallet packers are the most complex and expensive machines that completely automate the packaging process. They automatically feed the film, wrap it around the pallet and cut it at the end of the process.
What are the most popular pallet wrappers?
Stationary pallet wrappers. They consist of a rotating platform where the pallet is placed, a vertical column and a movable carriage that raises and lowers the film roll. The pallet rotates on a platform, and the carriage ensures uniform packaging along its entire length.
Stationary pallet packers are suitable for most industries where packaging volumes are too time-consuming manually, and full automation is too expensive.
Application pallet packers.
Pallet packers are widely used in various industries, including warehousing, food, pharmaceuticals, meat processing, construction and many others. They provide reliable packaging of goods, protect goods from minor damage, scratches, precipitation and contamination, and also simplify the process of transportation and storage.
Film for pallet wrappers
A special stretch is used to work with pallet wrappers -film. This is an elastic material that, when stretched, ensures reliable packaging of goods. Stretch film can be of various thicknesses and widths, depending on packaging requirements. Some businesses prefer to purchase recycled film due to the lower price. Sometimes this is justified, but is not always suitable for pre-stretch.
What is pre-stretch and how does it help you save?
Pre-stretch is the process of pre-stretching stretch film before wrapping a pallet. The process allows you to use less film while maintaining its strength and packaging reliability. Film that has been stretched will tend to return to its normal state after wrapping and will compress the load better - this is a big plus for group packaging on a pallet.
The use of pre-stretch can significantly reduce the cost of packaging materials, making the process more cost-effective . You can spend half or three times less film on one winding. For large production with large volumes of packaging, this can result in savings of up to hundreds of thousands or even millions of rubles per year.
