Everything You Need To Know To Find The Best pallet wrapping machines

1.  WORKING WITH YOUR STRETCH WRAPPER FOR THE BEST OUTCOMES

The biggest cost driver in stretch wrapping is in-transit damage incurred by loads that were stretch wrapped ineffectively. One of the best ways to stretch wrap well is with a stretch wrapping machine. In fact, we&#;ve talked about some of the problems with hand wrapping pallets before, and often the biggest issue with hand wrapping is that machines are just better at wrapping loads than people are.

However, as much as machines are capable, they&#;re not as smart as you. They can&#;t decide:

WHETHER YOUR FAVORITE FILM WILL WORK.

More than likely, film used for hand wrapping won&#;t work as well on a machine. You&#;ve got to consider the gauge, pre-stretch, and material of the film. Talk with a distributor in your area, who knows as much about machines as he does film.

HOW TIGHT TO STRETCH WRAP YOUR LOAD.

The top, middle, and bottom layers of your load need to all have the correct amount of containment force, which is the film tension multiplied by the number of film layers. Containment force is what holds the load together. The right amount of containment force depends on the type of load you&#;re wrapping. Is your load heavy, light, or unstable? Heavy loads may require more containment force and light loads may require less.

WHAT THE WRAP PATTERN SHOULD BE.

Heavy loads may require more containment force and light loads may require less.

WHY THE FILM JUST BROKE.

The way the load is wrapped depends on your stretch wrapper&#;s settings. You need to choose the number of top and bottom wrap counts. You must also decide the wrap force settings and how much overwrap you want applied on top of the load as well film delivery system&#;s speed and the rotation speed of the turn table or wrap arm.

• Keep your products from overhanging the pallet and try to eliminate sharp corners.
• Train operators to properly handle film. Improper film threading is a main cause of film breaks. Film breaks can occur when the film roll experiences nicks. These nicks happen when the film roll has been dropped or mishandled.
• Don&#;t set the wrap force too high. Depending on your film and product, adjust the tension of the film to determine the best setting.

If the load needs special attention or reinforcement at some spot.

The company is the world’s best Semi Automatic Stretch Wrap Machine supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

You may need to secure partial layers with the roping technique or you may need to band &#; apply multiple layers of film to one spot on the load.

STRETCH WRAPPING MACHINES GIVING THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

Stretch wrapping machines have the potential to greatly increase a pallet load&#;s chances of arriving in as made condition. They simply do a better job than people at consistently wrapping loads to wrap standards. However, human beings do have a place in the stretch wrapping process. With a bit of research and practice people can work with their stretch wrapping machines to make sure their loads have the best chance of reaching their destination in as made condition.

Make sure the machine you buy will get the job done. A good rule of thumb is always not to guess, but to test. Get help if you&#;re not sure.

If a film is left in phase 1 or 2 (i.e. it isn&#;t stretched to its optimum), then it will have a tendency to continue to stretch during the pallet&#;s journey &#; creating a loose and unstable pallet.  If the film is stretched into phase 3 &#; its optimum stretch level, then it is unable to stretch any further. This creates a locked plastic film with no further stretchability and, hence, a reliably stable pallet load.

It is clear that achieving this sort of  load stability is never going to be as easy using hand pallet wrap as it is using a machine, but manufacturers have now developed pre stretched hand films to help address this issue.  These films have been machine stretched before being rolled, meaning that when they are applied to the pallet they are already optimised. This has the added advantage that pre stretched films are thinner, and are available on longer rolls, than standard film. Combined with the fact that the film is easier to apply, and can be applied from a dispenser by operatives standing up and walking forwards,  pre-stretched hand films are a good choice in most hand wrapping situations.

Ultimately, the best pallet wrapping method for you will depend on the type and quantity of pallets being wrapped.  If you are wrapping 30 or more pallets a day, then it is definitely worth looking at the merits and the commercials of installing a power pre-stretch wrapping machine, and  if you are wrapping fewer than this, then it is well worth considering switching to a pre-stretch hand film system.
