When it comes to the production process its probably safe to say that one of the worst jobs you can experience is in attempting to hand wrap a large shipping pallet. Needing to wrap just one pallet is not only a chore but taxing on the human body, especially when it is done correctly. So, you can imagine how demanding it can be to stretch wrap by hand several times a day every day of the week. As a business owner you more than likely aren’t directly familiar with the negative impact of this technique but given time it will quickly become apparent that a plastic wrapping machine is far better suited for the job. Allowing you to make better use of your staff in other areas of the production line.
Automated Wrapping Machines for a Safer and More Efficient Production Line
While a plastic wrapping machine is infinitely safer for your employees, it is also a highly justifiable investment for any manufacturing company. This is true for a variety of reasons; not only are your employees suffering less they are also getting more work done in a shorter amount of time. This is particularly true for pallets that hold products of an irregular shape. Packaging equipment like the Tab Wrapper Tornado® for example, can efficiently and thoroughly wrap a fully loaded pallet with out ever unloading it from the forklift.
Make Better Use of Your Packaging Materials
This machine simultaneously feeds and wraps the plastic around your final product using orbital technology, resulting in a finished product that is impervious to the elements and less likely to incur damage during transit. Additionally, these types of plastic wrapping machines allow you to make better use of your packaging materials. When wrapping by hand, workers can typically reach pre-stretch percentages of just 10-20%. A machine however can reach staggering pre-stretch capabilities of up to 260% which means you could be making more than double use of your materials. If you are interested saving money and creating a better work environment for your employees consider investing in the Tab Wrapper Tornado® from Tab Industries today.
