Stretch Film Packaging Machines

A stretch film wrapping machine rotates a palletized load on a turntable and wraps it with elastic stretch film to secure it. It is used to prevent load collapse during transport and storage and to protect against dust. A carriage holding the film moves up and down along the mast, wrapping the load from bottom to top. Types include a simple model (economy turntable) where the table is rotated and the operator wraps the film by hand, and a semi-automatic model with carriage lifting and film tension control. Load height detection is available as photoelectric sensor type or limit switch type, and tension adjustment as powder brake type or handle clamping type. A low-profile model that can be loaded and unloaded with a hand lift is also available.

How to choose Stretch Film Packaging Machines

  1. 1. Select by Load and Pallet Mass

    The maximum load is the combined mass of the load and pallet placed on the turntable. Listed models range from 500 to 1500 kg. Select with a margin for the heaviest load configuration. Exceeding the upper limit causes unstable rotation and places strain on the drive section.

  2. 2. Check the Load Diagonal Length

    The outer circumference of the rotating load is determined by its diagonal length. Check that the maximum load diagonal length (1300 to 1700 mm for listed models) is equal to or greater than the diagonal dimension of the load configuration, including any overhang from the pallet. If the diagonal length is insufficient, the load will contact the mast during rotation.

  3. 3. Turntable Diameter to Match Pallet Size

    The turntable diameter ranges from 900 to 1500 mm. Select it to suit the corner dimensions of the pallet used (recommended pallet size 900 to 1200 mm). If the pallet overhangs the table significantly, the load will be unstable.

  4. 4. Load Height and Compatible Film Width

    The maximum load height is 1900 mm for listed models. Load configurations exceeding this height cannot be wrapped at the top. The film width used is 500 mm, so confirm that existing or planned film stock matches this width.

  5. 5. Loading Method and Table Height

    At sites using forklifts, models with forklift pocket openings are convenient for relocation. At sites with only a hand lift, selecting the low-profile model with a 25 mm table height allows loading and unloading without a ramp.

  6. 6. Check the Power Supply at the Installation Site

    Power specifications such as phase and voltage vary by model. Models supporting single-phase AC100V can be used with a standard outlet. Power consumption ranges from 70 to 170 W. Verify the power specifications and capacity of the planned installation site in advance.
