Once your business has successfully designed, engineered, prototyped and manufactured a product, now comes the final step — packaging. When it comes to packaging pallets, you’re doubtless always on the lookout for ways to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. Automatic stretch wrappers could be your solution. They provide the ultimate streamlined process to keep your pallet damage-free — all while cutting down on cost and time.
Considering incorporating an electric wrapper into your business production line? Read on to learn five undeniable benefits of stretch wrapper machines.
An automated stretch wrapper is a machine that uses the stretch film to wrap a pallet load, as directed by set parameters. Once the wrapping cycle is complete, the machine neatly cuts the stretch film and secures the tail to the load. This independent process means automatic wrappers can handle almost every stage of the wrapping application on its own.
This process limits the amount of time operators must spend on the forklift, increasing both safety and efficiency. Beyond this major benefit, we’ll explore several top advantages of stretch wrappers below.
An investment in a wrapping machine can save your business a significant amount of time. Time spent wrapping pallets or boxes by hand can add up, particularly if your operation has constant packaging needs. An automated stretch wrapper will allow your employees to put their saved time and energy toward improving other business processes or completing a higher number of tasks.
Your packaging is likely the first glimpse that retailers and customers observe from your brand. A stretch wrapping system ensures that your bulk packaging is consistent and high-quality. While manual wrapping may vary, automatic stretch wrappers package each pallet in the exact same way. This will result in better protection and a streamlined look for every product.
Between dust, moisture and dirt, there are many environmental elements that can damage your products on the road. Securely wrapping your pallets with stretch film will provide a layer of protection without hindering your product visibility.
An automatic machine may be an upfront investment, but one of the greatest long-term advantages of electric wrappers is cost savings. Automatic stretch wrappers use a two-film thread roller system, where the second roller operates on a higher speed than the first to stretch the film. Not only does this increase the film’s tensile strength, but it also reduces the overall costs of your film.
An automatic machine is also far less likely to make a mistake than a manual process, reducing your risk of having to redo any work.
Last but certainly not least, automatic stretch wrappers equip your company to accomplish more projects in less time. Operators simply place the pallet on a conveyor to start or stop the wrapping process automatically. In the meantime, your employees can be hard at work completing other tasks.
