Maybe you already have a stretch wrapper in use and are not considering purchasing a new one.
Or, you think the old machine is still running well and does not need to be replaced for the time being. However, did you know that replacing the old stretch wrapper with a new one can actually bring you more benefits and surprises.
Benefits That a New Stretch wrapper Can bring You
- Reduce the consumption of packaging materials and reduce costs
Based on the calculation of packaging 50 pieces of goods per day, the old machine without pre-stretching function wastes about $35,000 of film in five years. Have you ever calculated it?
The pre-stretching mechanism is a design that improves the efficiency of stretch film use. It uses two rollers in the film delivering system to rotate at two different speeds to stretch the film. For example, on a machine with a 200% pre-stretching ratio, 100 feet of film will eventually become 300 feet. This allows the same roll of stretch film to be used longer on the new machine and wrap more pallets.
Another benefit about the pre-stretching function is that the goods wrapped by pre-stretching are tighter and stronger than those wrapped by resisting stretching. Able to withstand the bumps during transportation and not easy to fall apart. - Reduce labor demand and reduce wage costs
Since the old stretch wrapper control system is still at the design level of 10 years ago, the operator needs to perform a series of about 20 time-consuming steps to complete each time using it. Calculated based on the daily wrapping workload of 80 pieces, if the operator’s salary is $10 per hour, the old stretch wrap machine will cause the employer to pay about $50,000 more labor wages in 3 years.
The fully automatic pallet packer machine is equipped with an automatic film cutting and clamping device, which does not need to cut the film at the end of the wrapping and retain it for the next turn, thus eliminating the need to perform these steps. In the remote control operation mode, the operator can use the remote control device to start the equipment, and there is no need to get off the forklift during the entire operation. - Reduce the risk of accidents
The old stretch wrapper requires many manual assistance operation processes, which may cause muscle injuries to the operator’s related parts due to overwork. For example, the lack of automatic film clamping and cutting devices requires operators to frequently bend over to connect the film to the load, which increases back pressure and is prone to back injuries.
