Stretch wrapper automatically secures loads to pallets

A new, fully automated orbital wrapping system from Tab Industries LLC automatically and continuously wraps palletized loads to their pallets to create secure, stable, unitized loads that remain intact throughout the supply chain.

The Perfect Storm features patent-pending technology that automatically senses the presence of a pallet load and then automatically wraps plastic stretch film 360 degrees around and under both the pallet and its load. The unit includes an integrated, powered conveyor to stage and automatically feed the palletized loads into the wrapping ring and to discharge the wrapped loads for warehousing and transportation.

According to the company, the machine wraps common pallet loads in 15 sec., using one operator. The orbital wrapping system accommodates pallet loads of nearly unlimited lengths and includes a PLC with selections based on the size of the pallet, number of wraps, and locations of wraps on the pallet load to customize wrapping to weight, shape, and dimensions.
