• Securing palletised goods for transport and storage in distribution centres.
• Wrapping finished products in manufacturing facilities before shipment.
• Protecting goods from dust, moisture, and damage in warehousing operations.
• Automating the end-of-line packaging process for high-volume production.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 30 to 60 pallets per hour, depending on wrap patterns and pallet dimensions.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, with a power consumption commonly around 2-5 kW.

Maximum pallet dimensions

Fully-automatic pallet wrappers commonly accommodate standard Euro pallets (1200x800mm) and larger industrial pallets, with heights typically up to 2000-2400mm.

Film type

These machines are designed for use with standard machine stretch film, typically 23-30 micron thickness, on rolls with a 76mm core.

Pre-stretch ratio

A pre-stretch ratio of 2:1 (200%) is common, efficiently utilising film and reducing material costs.

Footprint

For integration into a line, the machine's footprint, including safety zones and conveyor access, typically requires an area of approximately 3m x 3m.

• What are the benefits of a fully-automatic pallet stretch-wrapper?

  Fully-automatic systems reduce manual labour, increase wrapping consistency, and improve throughput compared to semi-automatic or manual methods. They are designed for integration into automated production lines.

• How does the frequency control system benefit operations?

• What is the purpose of the adjustable automatic top pressure plate?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of equipment?

• Can this machine handle different pallet sizes?

• What happens when the film runs out?

Vacuum packaging equipment holds a solid reputation in food processing for extending shelf life and maintaining product quality. Buyers typically prioritize seal consistency, chamber durability, and ease of operation when selecting used models. Industry sentiment favours machines with reliable vacuum pump performance and straightforward maintenance access. Common strengths include cost savings over new equipment, proven track records from established manufacturers, and compatibility with various packaging materials. Prospective buyers should inspect sealing bars, vacuum gauges, and prior service history carefully.
