Stretch Wrappers
Stretch wrappers are a more economical approach to shipping bulky items. Rather than shipping large pallets of items in a container, stretch wrap securely keeps these items on the pallet and protects them during distribution, shipping, and receiving. At Shelf + Rack Systems, Inc., we offer a number of stretch wrapping systems to improve the efficiency of your packaging and shipping process.
Automatic stretch wrap machines make the stretch wrapping process much faster. These high-speed solutions work best for warehouses and distribution centers which wrap 45 or more loads per hour. If you are looking to increase your production rates, we have a wide range of options to choose from.
Fully automatic options come in rotary arm stretch wrappers and automatic turntables. This reduces costs by improving the time and speed of wrapping a pallet load and minimizes the amount of time spent on training employees to handle goods.
Loads placed on turntable stretch wrappers rotate, and the film roll conforms to the shape of the load as it moves up and down on the carriage system. Turntable stretch wrappers work well for increasing the efficiency of wrapping goods.
Pre-stretch wrapping machines use pre-stretched film wrap which uses less film during the loading process. Stretch wrapping machines stretch the wrap as it goes around the load.
Turntable wrappers come in fully automatics, semi-automatics, and manual.
Manual stretch wraps work well for low-budget and low-volume operations. You still enjoy the flexibility and precision of semi-auto and fully-auto machines but at a more affordable price. Revolver makes several standard manual stretch wrapper systems for your production line.
Semi-automatic stretch wrappers have a photo eye feature, two wrapping modes, and top and bottom counters. The information screen lets you adjust the stretch and give valuable information about the stretching process. Automatic film cutting systems make the process even easier. Predator Stretch Wrappers and The Synergy 2 are a great semi-automatic stretch wrapping option.
Fully-automatic systems do all of the feeding, wrapping, and cutting. It even wipes down the film end after the cutting. These work well with integration into a conveyor system for maximum efficiency. We recommend Freedom, Revolver automatic models, The Platinum, and Highlight Industry’s Synergy Automatic for fully-automatic stretch wrap systems.
In addition to our stretch wrapping machine and pallet wrapping systems, we also offer stretch wrap film for your packing and shipping needs. We provide both cast and blown wraps, and thicknesses from 37-gauge to 15-gauge. Widths vary from 3” to 30” wide, and opaque stretch wrap options help prevent thieves from seeing into your pallet load.
