Used Pallet wrappers

About second-hand Pallet wrappers

Pallet wrappers are machines used to package goods or products on pallets with plastic film, usually stretch film, but sometimes also net film. They are widely used in logistics and production environments to stabilize and protect palletized loads during transport and storage. The film is tightly wrapped around the pallet and the products, reducing the risk of shifting or damage. A pallet wrapper differs from a film wrapper in that it is specifically designed for pallets, whereas a film wrapper could also be used for carts, for example.

There are different types of pallet wrappers, each designed for specific packaging needs, such as wrapping standard pallets, heavy or unstable loads, and large production systems. Below are some of the most common types of pallet wrappers and their applications:

Different Types of Pallet Wrappers

Turntable Pallet Wrappers

With turntable pallet wrappers, the pallet is placed on a rotating turntable while the wrapping arm applies the film around the load. This type is commonly used in situations where space is limited or for lighter loads. It is compact and cost-effective, making it a popular choice for standard palletized loads after products have been packaged.

Arm Wrappers

Instead of a rotating turntable, an arm wrapper features a rotating arm that moves around the pallet while it remains stationary on the ground. This type is ideal for heavier or unstable loads since the load itself does not need to rotate. As a result, arm wrappers are often used in industries such as food and beverage or for wrapping unstable goods. This type is widely used.

Rotary Ring Pallet Wrappers

A rotary ring wrapper features a rotating ring that moves around the load, which can vary in height and weight. These machines are often faster and more flexible than turntable or arm wrappers since neither the load nor the arm needs to rotate. This makes them well-suited for high-speed production lines and heavy or irregularly shaped loads. This type is often used as a strapping machine.

Mobile Pallet Wrapper

A mobile pallet wrapper, also known as a robot wrapper, is a flexible wrapping machine that autonomously moves around a pallet to wrap it in stretch film. This type of wrapper is ideal for companies that handle various pallet sizes or have a dynamic work environment, as the machine is not fixed in one place. How Does a Mobile Pallet Wrapper Work? First, the operator places or selects the pallet at the desired location. Then, the wrapper is started manually or via remote control. The machine autonomously moves around the pallet and wraps it in film.

Shrink Film Wrappers

Instead of stretch film, shrink film is used with this type of wrapper. After wrapping, the film is heated so that it shrinks tightly around the load. This type is commonly used when extra stability or protection is needed. It provides a very tight wrap for maximum stability and is suitable for heavy or irregularly shaped loads, as well as sectors requiring extra protection.
