​How to Save Money with a Pallet Wrapping Machine

Buying a pallet wrapping machine may seem like a luxury purchase, a want rather than a need. The truth is a machine will potentially pay for itself in several ways.

Increase Stretch Yields to over 260% with Power Pre Stretch:

Using a Revolution pallet wrapping machine with a power pre-stretch is a cost-effective way to wrap your pallets as it gets the most yield, stretching your film over 260% therefore significantly reducing the cost per pallet wrapped. This process increases the number of loads that can be wrapped with a roll of stretch film.

Reduce Stretch Film Usage:

Reducing your film usage to wrap your pallets reduces the environmental impact. Stretch wrapping machines have a greater pre-stretching capability compared to hand applying film, therefore, gets more yield out of your stretch wrap, using less film. With our Revolution stretch wrapping machines, we can guarantee to reduce film usage by over 50%.

Reduce Wrapping Costs:

As a result of the significant reduction of film required to wrap each pallet, our Revolution pallet wrapping system is guaranteed to save over 20% on total cost to wrap a pallet. Many people look at the per roll cost of stretch wrap rather than the yield or the total cost to wrap a pallet.

Reduces Work Related Injuries:

Manually hand wrapping pallets result in poor posture and movements and often high force which can cause your staff to have musculoskeletal injuries, back issues, and tripping accidents.

Increase Load Containment & Damage Prevention:

Remember, the main purpose of stretch wrapping pallets is to protect your product loads from damage during storage and transportation. Most load containment issues are because the pallets are incorrectly wrapped. Hand wrapping pallets may seem like an easy alternative, but it is impossible to produce the same results as a machine. The reasons for this are:

- Inconsistent containment force – It is easier for people to wrap tightly in the middle of a load than the top and the bottom, leaving weak points.

- A poor load-to-pallet bond – It is difficult for people to reach the bottom of the load and catch the pallet, and the film always seems to tear anyway. Without a proper load-to-pallet bond you are at risk of the load sliding off its pallet during transit.

Reduce Labor Cost:

The cost of labor continues to rise and hand wrapping pallets is a time-consuming task. Using a machine to wrap your pallets will increase productivity and reduce labor costs. The machine wraps pallets while warehouse employees focus on other tasks, potentially eliminating the need for additional employees. Spreading the cost of a Revolution semi-automatic stretch wrapper over the thousands of loads that it is going to wrap during its economic life, yields a low machine cost per load wrapped.

Increase Warehouse Efficiency:

Increasing warehouse efficiency and productivity is every warehouse manager's goal. Machine wrapping your pallets can take less than half the time spent wrapping pallets by hand. By allowing a machine to wrap pallet loads, workers are free to focus on other tasks. Therefore, increases overall workplace efficiency.

Program Automatic Wrapping Settings:

With extensive programming options, these Revolution pallet wrapping machines can wrap your products in a way that suits every specific load type while achieving maximum yield. Unique senses allow the machine to increase and decrease the film tension for the necessary position on the pallet. This setting is often programmed to lower tension on sharp corners of the pallet to avoid puncturing the film. Adjustments are also necessary to have light tension for starting bottom wraps and then to increase the film tension for the remaining and the final bottom wraps for increased load stability.

Ability to Wrap Large Pallets:

Every pallet load is a different shape and size, some are too height for a person to wrap. The 98-inch height masts on the pallet wrapping machines solve this problem. The options of these machines are endless, we guarantee a solution to every wrapping requirement.
