TAB Wrapper Tornado 50-in. model offered as semi- and fully automated

TAB Industries LLC has introduced a new TAB Wrapper Tornado® model featuring a 50-in. wrapping ring. Available in a choice of semiautomated or fully automated operation, the orbital wrapping machine applies the company's patent-pending technology in a size that accommodates products too large for the 40-in. model without overspecifying the 80-in. model.

The unit is suitable for securing and transporting metal and plastic rods, bars and tubes, bagged powders, drums, and cartons. It wraps plastic film 360 degrees around and under the load and the pallet to create a sturdy, unitized load that prevents shifting in storage and transit. Oddly shaped, loose, packaged, and combination loads may be secured in multiple layers of protective plastic film on the same pallet in 60 seconds or less, says the company.
