Coloured Ferrari red, and looking every bit like a sleek and compact Italian sportscar compared to some of the other machinery behemoths on the show floor, Australia Wrapping Company’s (AWC) new portable stretch wrapper, the E-Motion from Italy’s PKG, proved a head turner at this year's AUSPACK PLUS 2013.
The sleek stretch wrapper is designed to be able to be located anywhere on a packing room floor, providing flexibility for manufacturers needing to speedily stretch wrap pallets without the need to physically take the pallets to a larger model.
“Basically, you take the machine to the pallet, rather than the pallet to the machine,” AWC account manager, John Beahan, told PKN at the show.
The E-Motion features semi-automatic operation, robust construction, variable speed film carriage and speed, an electro magnetic film pre-stretcher system and automatic height sensor.
It is also able to handle non-standard size pallets with simple programming and can handle pallet heights up to 2.1m, or just under 3m with an optional extendable mast.
“You have full control of the number of pallets top and bottom, and full control of the stretch,” Beahan said.
“And the beauty is, because you move it to the pallet you want wrapped, when you move the pallets around the floor they are already stabilised, rather than moving unstable pallet stacks around the building.”
