The use of automatic pallet wrapping machines helps enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency

In high-frequency shipping industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and e-commerce, the packaging of pallet goods is often regarded as the "last process", but it is often the bottleneck of the efficiency of the entire production line. The traditional manual film wrapping method is inefficient, labor-intensive, and the wrapping effect is unstable, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of modern enterprises for standardization, assembly lines and automated shipping.

Automatic pallet wrapping machines are automated equipment specially used for film wrapping and packaging of whole pallets of goods. They are suitable for various types of stacked products such as cartons, woven bags, bottles, and barrels. The equipment automatically starts the film wrapping program by sensing the arrival of the goods, realizing the automation of the entire process of film frame lifting, turntable rotation, tension control, and film tail processing. Compared with manual wrapping or semi-automatic equipment, it does not require long-term operator care or assistance. It only needs to set the parameters and the pallet can be put online to complete the whole packaging process. It is an ideal solution for medium and large manufacturing and warehousing enterprises to improve shipping efficiency and packaging consistency.

Take a manufacturing company that mainly exports hardware tools as an example. In the past, its packaging process relied on 4 operators to operate the manual wrapping machine in shifts. Each pallet took about 5 minutes, and the packaging was not uniform, the appearance was not beautiful, and the material wasted was serious. Under the pressure of frequent customer complaints and returns, the company decided to introduce two automatic pallet wrapping machines as the main packaging equipment, and use them with the existing conveyor line to realize the integrated flow of palletizing-conveying-wrapping-out. After going online, the packaging efficiency increased to 40 pallets per hour, the consumables saving rate exceeded 15%, the labor was reduced by half, and the packaging quality was significantly improved. The project leader said: "In the past, people followed the equipment, but now the equipment follows the beat."

According to the structural classification, the pallet automatic wrapping machine mainly includes three types: turntable type, rocker type, and online type. The turntable type is suitable for most standard pallet goods. The equipment has a simple structure, stable operation, and moderate price. It is the most common type of machine on the market. The standard configuration of the equipment includes a power turntable, a film rack pre-stretching mechanism, an up and down lifting system, a photoelectric sensor, a high-strength column, an automatic film breaking and tail pressing system, etc. Through the PLC+touch operation interface control, users can flexibly set parameters such as the number of winding circles, turntable speed, tension, winding mode, etc., and support multiple sets of program storage, one-click switching of different product packaging requirements.

The film rack system usually adopts a power pre-stretching mechanism, which can stretch the film material to 250% or even higher, while keeping the film tight and tight, reducing material use and reducing consumables costs. The photoelectric sensor automatically identifies the height of the goods and intelligently controls the lifting range of the film rack to ensure that each layer of film is accurately covered to avoid repeated winding or idling. After wrapping, the equipment automatically cuts off the film tail and presses it on the surface of the goods to prevent the tail from falling off and affecting transportation or appearance, and improves the neatness and professionalism of the overall packaging.

For some higher-demand shipping scenarios, the pallet automatic wrapping machine can also be equipped with top laminating device, top pressing device, weighing, corner reinforcement, sword-threading and strapping functions to further enhance the adaptability and scalability of the packaging system.

The pallet automatic wrapping machine provides a more stable, safer and easier to manage packaging method for the shipping process of modern enterprises. It not only improves packaging efficiency, but also lays the foundation for the factory to build an automated, standardized and low-error shipping process. It is one of the indispensable core equipment in the packaging process.
