Automatic stretch wrap machines automate the pallet wrapping process while reducing labor, boosting efficiency, and saving time. Many available models cater to everything from handling heavy, unstable loads to meeting the demands of high-volume, fast-paced operations. Each model offers unique features and advantages, allowing for a tailored approach to your pallet wrapping process.

Automatic pallet wrapper machines efficiently automate the entire pallet wrapping process. These machines typically employ advanced technology, including rotating arms or turntables, to securely wrap the stretch film around the palletized load. The process begins with placing the pallet onto the machine’s platform or conveyor system.

Once initiated, the machine automatically applies the stretch film around the load, ensuring optimal tension and containment. Some models offer customizable settings to adjust the number of revolutions or the film tension based on specific load requirements. The result is a tightly wrapped pallet ready for safe transport and storage.

Automatic and semi-automatic stretch wrappers differ primarily in the extent of automation they provide for the wrapping process. This means that with an automatic wrapper, your job is easier and faster, while a semi-automatic wrapper requires more human involvement.

Semi-automatic wrapping machines require the user to attach the film and activate the wrapping cycle manually. Although they generally have a lower throughput, semi-automatic wrappers are suitable for smaller businesses or those with variable production volumes. These machines offer a significant improvement in efficiency and time savings compared to wrapping pallets manually.

Fully automated pallet wrappers eliminate the need for manual film attachment and further streamline the wrapping process. For example, if you wrap 300 pallets daily with a semi-automatic machine, the driver must get off the forklift 300 times to apply the film, hit start, and wait for the pallet to wrap (about 1 minute). They would then need to hop back on the forklift to remove the pallet, then go pick up and deliver another one.

Fully automatic stretch wrap machines can also incorporate conveyor systems that automatically load and unload pallets and utilize advanced control systems to manage the entire wrapping process. These automated pallet wrapping systems can handle large numbers of loads per hour, making them ideal for businesses with high throughput requirements.

Handle-It automatic stretch wrappers are ideal for a wide range of applications, including boxes, bags and sacks.

Boxes— The adjustable settings enable precise control over tension and wrapping patterns, ensuring a tailored solution for different box sizes and shapes. These machines minimize the risk of product damage during transportation, safeguarding your goods throughout the supply chain.

Bags and sacks— Effectively secure bags and sacks of different sizes, whether they contain loose items, powders, or other materials. Automation eliminates manual handling and ensures precise and tight wrapping, minimizing the risk of tampering or damage.
