STRETCH & PALLET WRAPPING
Stretch film,
also
known as stretch wrap or pallet wrap, is one of the most popular
unitization methods in today’s marketplace for securing boxes or bags of
any product to a pallet for safe shipment. Stretch film provides an
excellent alternative to strapping, corrugated materials, poly bags and
similar unitizing methods. It can also be used for unitizing unusual
sized, non-palletized goods such as building materials, carpet, rolled
goods, steel beams, piping or wood products, giving customers the same
benefits of product protection, maximum unitization and minimum
packaging cost per load. Virtually, any product can be stretch wrapped
given the right equipment.
Stretch films may be applied by hand or machine and can be used for a
multitude of
applications.
Hand stretch films are lighter and shorter than machine rolls allowing
ease of use for the user. Machine films are the preferred method in high
volume accounts where speed and consistency of wrapping are needed.
The
overall
benefits of using stretch film for unitization,
whether done by hand or by machine, are relatively the same. However
for operations wrapping more than 20 pallet loads each day, improved
efficiencies and savings
can
be achieved by using semi-automatic or automatic stretch wrapping
equipment.

The Mini-System Robotic Palletizer
The Mini-System - the latest machine from Orion Packaging
Systems and Brenton Engineering (partnering company of
ProMach) - boosts load output by integrating separate
material handling and packaging operations into one powerful
system.
The Mini-System is a complete, end-of-the line packaging
solution designed to handle a variety of product types,
sizes and weights, and which can be easily programmed to
handle different stacking patterns.
The Mini-System is both cost efficient and workplace safe.
Its unique design saves on labor costs, improves throughput
and reduces product damage from improperly built unit loads.
It produces consistent quantities and allows producers to
ship attractive, neatly wrapped unit loads. What's more, its
unique design prevents ergonomically related workplace
injuries.
The engineering on the M-410i WW model is like no other
product on the market. The robotic palletizer is an electric
servo-driven, four-axis model, which is offered in three
standard models for different payload requirements. It
features an integrated mechanical and control unit,
providing high-speed, high-payload load unitization without
sacrificing accuracy and repeatability. It also is capable
of handling payloads of up to 880 pounds and axis speeds up
to 300 degrees per second.
The Mini-System also represents the perfect union between
Brenton Engineering's FANUC Robotics palletizers and Orion's
automatic stretch wrappers. The unit delivers user-friendly
set-up and the fastest cycle times in the robot class. Its
small footprint makes it ideal for installation and
application flexibility. Combined with the superior strength
and dramatic cost savings of 245% powered prestretch film
delivery and 5,000-pound load capacity found with Orion
wrappers, the Mini-System delivers unsurpassed automated
palletizing and depalletizing needs. The film carriage can
even be set to stretch levels up to 425% for special
applications. With the popular Orion model FA-44, the
Mini-System represents the most reliable and rugged stretch
wrapper in its class.
