Does manual packaging take 15 minutes per pallet? Pallet wrapping machine increases packaging efficiency to 40 pallets per hour

In various pallet shipping scenarios such as manufacturing, warehousing, e-commerce, food, beverages, and chemicals, packaging efficiency and stability are gradually becoming one of the core factors affecting corporate operating costs and customer satisfaction. Especially at a time when labor costs are rising and the pace of order delivery is accelerating, traditional manual wrapping and packaging methods have exposed many problems such as low efficiency, standard deviation, and high cost. Calculated based on an average of 2 minutes per pallet for manual packaging, a maximum of 30 pallets can be completed in one hour, and the wrapping is not uniform, and manual fatigue is prone to errors, affecting the overall shipping rhythm. In contrast, as an intelligent packaging equipment that integrates efficiency, stability and standardization, the pallet wrapping film baler has become the core solution for more and more companies to achieve automated shipments. Its operating capacity can be stably increased to more than 40 pallets per hour, significantly optimizing the bottleneck of the packaging station.

The pallet wrapping film baler is a device that automatically wraps and packs the entire pallet of goods. It is suitable for packaging common pallet goods such as cartons, woven bags, barrels, bags, electrical appliances, and home accessories. The equipment drives the goods or film racks to rotate through a power turntable or rocker arm, and combines the lifting and lowering movement of the film rack to achieve all-round wrapping and fixing of the goods around and on the top. Compared with manual filming, its efficiency is significantly improved, and parameters such as wrapping uniformity, film tension, and number of wrapping layers are controllable, effectively reducing film material waste and reducing packaging differences.

For example, a daily chemical company in North China ships more than 600 pallets per day, and needs to pack 24 hours a day during peak hours. Originally, 4 workers were used to cooperate with the semi-automatic wrapping machine to complete a total of 20 pallets per hour, which was labor-intensive and the packaging appearance was not uniform. Since the deployment of two pallet wrapping film balers, they have been used in conjunction with front and rear conveyor lines. The packaging rhythm of the entire line has been stably maintained at 40 pallets per hour, and no manual operation is required. The shipping efficiency has increased by more than 30%, the packaging standard difference rate has dropped to less than 2%, and the overall logistics complaints have been significantly reduced.

In terms of equipment structure, the pallet wrapping film baler is usually composed of a power turntable, a film rack system, a lifting device, a film breaking and pressing component, a control system and a photoelectric sensing system. The film rack part is equipped with a power pre-stretching mechanism, and the conventional stretching ratio reaches 250%, which greatly reduces the amount of film material used; the lifting system automatically adjusts the operating range according to the height of the goods to ensure that the upper and lower edges are completely wrapped. The number of winding circles, turntable speed, and tension can all be set on the PLC+touch screen operation interface, which is suitable for flexible packaging of different products and different pallet sizes.

For enterprises with higher packaging needs, the equipment can be equipped with top laminating modules, top pressing devices, code scanning binding, automatic labeling, online weighing and other functions to achieve integrated packaging and information collection. The whole machine supports linkage with palletizing robots, conveyor lines, and WMS systems to build an integrated automated packaging operation unit of "palletizing-wrapping-warehouse/outbound". In actual deployment, the pallet wrapping film baler not only solves the problem of insufficient manpower, but also improves the overall logistics operation efficiency and data visualization management level of the factory.
