Pallet wrappers have been designed to cut the magnitude of packaging that is used
on outgoing products and curtail the load of packaging that is squandered by weak wrapping. Pallet wrappers operate by draping a packaging film, (usually paper, aluminium or plastic film), over the stacked product. Generally a pallet will be put into position and the stretch wrap fixed to the pallet, a button is then pressed and the stretch wrapper will simultaneously turn the pallet and the wrapping material will move up and down wrapping the entire pallet.
Ensuring you choose the right machinery for your manufacturing process or distribution facility is certainly important and requires discussion. Deciding on the wrong type of packaging equipment can have repercussions far beyond the money that was wasted on the purchase. When procuring a stretch wrapper you should note that it needs to be regarded as a longer term financial investment. Picking the right pallet wrapper should ensure that it is still in usage years after it was purchased, even in busy environments.
To make the most of the equipment you are going to want to ensure that it is easy enough to maintain and spare parts are easy to come by, it is always a temptation to go for the cheapest on the market but you should always make sure that support from the manufacturer is there should you need it further down the line.
Selecting a re-conditioned stretch wrapper will reduce the amount of money you have to spend at the outset, you need to make sure that the machine is everything it is made to be before buying it though.
