Under the current trend of parallel advancement of capacity upgrading and labor optimization, more and more companies are beginning to pay attention to the automation level of the packaging process. Especially for factories and e-commerce cloud warehouses with large shipments and high shipment frequencies, the traditional "film wrapping + strapping" two links are operated separately, which not only takes up space and consumes labor, but also has difficulty in ensuring efficiency. In response to this pain point, the film wrapping and strapping integrated machine came into being. With integrated design and collaborative control system, it breaks the barriers between links and enables one device to complete the two core processes of wrapping and strapping of the whole pallet. It is an efficient and cost-effective solution in the modern intelligent packaging system.
Two processes are completed in one step, greatly improving the delivery cycle efficiency
In the traditional packaging process, after wrapping, it is necessary to manually transfer to the packaging area for strapping operations, while the film wrapping and strapping integrated machine combines the two core processes into one. The equipment integrates the wrapping arm, the covering mechanism and the sword-piercing strapping module, and supports automatic strapping of two or more strapping tapes after wrapping. There is no need for manual handling and secondary positioning in the middle, which saves a lot of time and site operation steps, and is suitable for high-frequency and high-beat shipping scenarios.
In terms of efficiency improvement, the overall operation time of film wrapping + strapping of a single pallet of this equipment can be controlled between 40 seconds and 60 seconds (depending on the specific setting parameters), which saves about half of the operation time compared with the traditional separation operation, helping customers to improve the turnover rate of the entire production line and alleviate the peak packaging bottleneck.
Automatic covering + intelligent control to achieve true "fully enclosed" protection
In addition to the film wrapping and strapping functions, the equipment can also be equipped with an automatic covering device, which uses PE film to automatically cover the top of the pallet, effectively preventing dust and water, and protecting the neatness and stability of the goods during storage and transportation. Especially in the packaging of powder, granules, and bagged goods, the covering film can further improve the integrity of the package and reduce the risk of contamination or scattering of goods.
The equipment control system adopts PLC automatic program + touch screen human-machine interface design. The number of film wrapping circles, tension, speed, strapping path, and number of strapping can all be quickly set on the screen. One-button start automatic operation reduces manual operation intervention, lowers the technical threshold, and supports machine adjustment personnel to quickly get started.
Cost controllable + flexible use, adaptable to various types of factory and cloud warehouse scenarios
The film wrapping and strapping all-in-one machine is suitable for pallet goods of various sizes, irregular shapes, and special-shaped packaging. It is especially suitable for chemical, building materials, food, e-commerce warehouses, logistics distribution centers and other scenarios. The equipment can be operated as an independent unit or embedded in the whole line, seamlessly connected with the conveyor line, robot palletizing, label printing, weighing and sorting systems, and build an automated packaging closed loop.
In addition, compared with purchasing wrapping machines and strapping machines separately, the integrated film wrapping and strapping machine is more economical in terms of procurement cost, installation and commissioning, manpower investment, and operation and maintenance. It not only saves space, but also reduces energy consumption and long-term management costs. It is an ideal choice for enterprises in the early stage of automation upgrade.
Case scenario: E-commerce cloud warehouse realizes unmanned packaging process
A large daily chemical brand e-commerce storage center needs to complete shipments quickly during the peak promotion period such as "Double 11". It used to use film wrapping machines and strapping machines separately, and 5 people were responsible for 2 devices, but it was still frequently stuck in the packaging rhythm. Since the introduction of the film wrapping and strapping machine, it has achieved a speed of 15-17 seconds per strip through automatic linkage with the conveyor line, and the packaging efficiency of the whole line has increased by about 70%, the number of manual workers has been reduced by 2, and the delivery stability has been improved to more than 99%.
The film wrapping and strapping machine is the escort for improving the quality and efficiency of the packaging process. Automated packaging equipment should not only pursue speed, but also bring real cost optimization and operational convenience to the business operation. The film wrapping and strapping machine integrates film wrapping, strapping, and capping. It uses one device to solve multiple packaging pain points and truly realize the full chain upgrade from "beat improvement" to "management cost reduction". For those manufacturing plants and e-commerce warehousing platforms that are promoting automation construction and focusing on delivery efficiency and packaging quality, this equipment is undoubtedly an efficient tool worth investing in.
