Types and applications of wrapping machines
Wrapping machines play a vital role in modern logistics, warehousing and many production industries. They can bring efficient, convenient and reliable guarantees to your product packaging and storage.
Wrapping machines are equipment that tightly wraps packaging materials such as stretch film around goods or pallets through mechanical devices. Its purpose is to stabilize, protect, and prevent moisture and dust on the goods, so as to facilitate the transportation, storage and handling of goods.
Generally speaking, we place the goods to be packaged on the turntable of the wrapping machine (for pallet wrapping machines, if it is a cantilever wrapping machine, the goods are fixed in a suitable position). Then, start the machine, the turntable will drive the goods to rotate at a constant speed, and at the same time, the film frame above the machine will move up and down according to the set program, and the stretch film will be evenly and layer by layer wrapped around the surface of the goods. During the wrapping process, the stretch film will be stretched to a certain proportion to achieve better wrapping tightness, so as to ensure that the goods will not loosen during the subsequent circulation process.
Main types and features of wrapping machines
Features: This is the most common type of wrapping machine, which is mainly used for wrapping and packaging goods placed on pallets. Its turntable has a strong carrying capacity and can adapt to pallet goods of different sizes and weights. It usually has functions such as automatic film loading, film cutting and film tail fixing, which is relatively easy to operate and has high packaging efficiency. For example, in large logistics warehouses, for palletized goods that enter and leave the warehouse in batches, the pallet wrapping machine can quickly complete the packaging operation, greatly improving the logistics turnover speed.
Cantilever wrapping machine
Features: Suitable for some special shapes or large long strips of goods that cannot be placed on the turntable, such as pipes, profiles, etc. It wraps the film frame around the goods through the cantilever mechanism, and does not require the goods to rotate, avoiding the packaging problems caused by the inability to rotate due to the characteristics of the goods themselves. The cantilever wrapping machine performs well in flexibility and can be flexibly adjusted according to the specific shape and size of the goods to ensure the integrity and tightness of the packaging.
Features: Specially designed for ring-shaped or cylindrical objects, such as tires, cable drums, etc. It adopts a special ring wrapping method, which can make the packaging film evenly cover the inner and outer surfaces of the ring body, effectively preventing the ring body from being damaged by collision, wear and other damage during transportation and storage. Ring wrapping machines are widely used in the fields of automotive parts manufacturing, wire and cable industry, etc.
Advantages and benefits of wrapping machines
Improve packaging efficiency: Compared with manual wrapping and packaging, wrapping machines work much faster. An ordinary pallet wrapping machine can complete the packaging of dozens of pallets of goods per hour, which greatly saves packaging time. Especially when facing a large number of goods that need to be packaged, it can ensure that the packaging task is completed in time without affecting the delivery and circulation progress of the goods. Stable packaging quality: Through precise program control and mechanical movement, the wrapping machine can ensure that the film thickness, tightness and coverage of each wrapping are relatively consistent, thereby providing high-quality packaging effects. This helps to protect the goods from external factors, reduce the damage to the goods caused by poor packaging during transportation, and reduce the losses of the enterprise. Save packaging materials: During the wrapping process, the machine can reasonably control the amount of stretch film used according to the actual situation of the goods. Through precise stretching ratio setting, it can achieve good packaging effects and avoid excessive use of packaging materials. In the long run, this has a significant effect on reducing packaging costs for enterprises. Enhance corporate image: Using a professional wrapping machine for packaging can make the packaging appearance of the goods more neat and standardized, leaving a good first impression on customers. This will help to improve the company's overall image to a certain extent and enhance customers' trust and satisfaction with the company.
