Thermal cutting system for orbital wrappers cuts stretch wrap automatically

Tab Industries thermal cutting system

A thermal cutting system from Tab Industries LLC automatically cuts the end of the stretch wrap after pallet wrapping. Offered as an option on Tab Wrapper Tornado orbital wrapping machines, the system features proprietary technology that draws a heated blade through the stretch wrap, cools it, and then hides it behind protective machine guarding, all within five seconds.

The device reduces blade wear and leaves the stretch wrap with a clean edge ready for wrapping the next pallet load. It is available pre-installed on the company’s new orbital wrappers and may be retrofitted on automated wrapping machines in the field.

The patented orbital wrappers apply stretch wrap 360 degrees around and under the pallet and load to create a stable, unitized load that eliminates the need for boxes, crates, and banding.
