Choice of the type of packing of cargo on a pallet in stretch film with the help of palletoupakovschika

There are three generally accepted methods available for packing pallets: winding a stretch film in a spiral, shrink-hats, and stretch caps. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages depending on the specific type of product.

Consider the first option of packing the cargo on a pallet, as the most popular.

Packaging in stretch film, by spiral winding, with the help of palletoupakovschika.

The wrapping of pallets by stretch film, on a pallet packer, is the most common method for pallet packing and provides an inexpensive way to fasten cargo on pallets for transportation. The equipment uses a stretch of varying density, which is pre-stretched from 0 to 400 percent, depending on the type of equipment. There are many manufacturers of both palletoupakovschikov, and stretch film, which makes it all easily accessible with the help of a large number of distributors.

A variety of packaging equipment allows the consumer to make a choice, depending on the production capacity and material capabilities. Variants of pallet packers are possible, from the simplest semi-automatic ones, when the operator manually cuts the stretch film and attaches it to the load on the pallet and to fully automatic ones, such as palletoupakovschiki without a platform with a rotating "hand", allowing to produce packaging, up to 100 pallets per hour.

To protect against the effects of external factors, often, with packaging stretch film in a spiral, the top of the pallets is covered with a hood. This provides the greatest protection of the cargo, but nevertheless, one must take into account that this will not be enough, if stored on the ground, since the lower part of the cargo still remains open.

The physical properties of the stretch film should also be considered when evaluating various methods of pallet packaging. For large volumes of packaging products, it is advisable to use a stretch film with a large stretch. In this case, you can save yourself at the most stretch. To use this type of film, of course you need a palletoupakovschik with a motorized carriage, which will be more expensive, but with time, the costs will be justified. When choosing a stretch film supplier, you need to pay attention to the weight of one roller, since a lower weight, correspondingly, means less winding of the film, which leads to an increase in the replacement intervals, thus reducing the operability of the equipment and increasing operating costs.

When choosing the equipment for packing the goods on a pallet, it is also worth paying attention to how the cargo will be delivered and installed on the pallet packer's turntable platform. If in your warehouse, it is possible to transport cargo on the loader, this significantly reduces the number of operations. But if there is no such possibility? And the cargo is quite a lot, and with the help of a hydraulic trolley, it is problematic to bring it to the pallet wrapper, even with the help of an access ramp. In this case, often, resort to a little trick. Palletoupakovschik deepen into the floor, which allows, unimpeded, to deliver to the platform cargo.

To fix the shaky loads on the equipment platform, a pallet packer with a clamp is used. The clamp can be pneumatically or electrically, which in principle has no effect on its operation, and is only a technical solution of the manufacturer.

In the case where it is not possible to transport cargo by warehouse, or it has a very large weight or dimensions, then in this situation, mobile pallet packers are used. This type of equipment is equipped with a rechargeable battery, and freely moves through the warehouse. The winding of the load with stretch film is also in a spiral.
