Horizontal Ring Stretch Wrappers for Optimized Packaging and Palletizing

Ring Stretch Wrapper

Ring Stretch Wrapper: the ideal solution to wrapping all six sides of a square load so that exposure to the elements will not damage products.

A horizontal ring stretch wrapper is a type of stretch wrapping machine that encases products with a stretch film by rotating a spool of film around the product, which is passed horizontally through a circular ring. This wrapper is particularly suited for items that are long, bulky, or difficult to secure with conventional wrapping equipment.

Commonly packaged items include:

  • Doors and windows
  • Pipes and tubing
  • Panels
  • Furniture components
  • Rolls of fabric or carpet

HOW IT WORKS:

  1. Product Placement: The product is fed through the horizontal ring, either manually or via a conveyor system.
  2. Film Application: A roll of stretch film is mounted on the machine’s rotating ring. The ring spins around the product while applying the stretch film, creating a tight and secure wrap.
  3. Wrapping Patterns: Users can set specific wrapping patterns, such as spiral wraps for full coverage or band wraps for select areas of the product.
  4. Cutting and Sealing: Once wrapping is complete, the machine cuts and secures the film for a clean finish.
  5. Output: The wrapped product exits the machine, ready for shipment or storage.

Packaging and Palletizing Challenges Solved by Ring Stretch Wrappers

Traditional stretch wrappers can struggle with high-speed packaging lines, tall or unstable loads, and products requiring consistent wrapping tension. Kaufman's horizontal ring stretch wrappers meet these challenges head-on:

  • Unstable or Delicate Loads: Our horizontal ring stretch wrappers provide consistent tension and control, along with an adjustable wrap pattern. They are ideal for delicate products that need protection without excessive force. The ring design offers balanced support around the product, minimizing shifting or potential damage during transport.
  • High-Speed Production Lines: Designed to keep up with demanding production environments, horizontal ring stretch wrappers reduce downtime and increase throughput with their continuous, uninterrupted wrapping capabilities.
  • Varied Product Shapes and Sizes: Unlike standard pallet wrappers, horizontal ring stretch wrappers accommodate a wide range of product dimensions, providing versatility for operations managing varied load sizes.

Key Benefits of Horizontal Ring Stretch Wrappers

Integrating Kaufman’s horizontal ring stretch wrappers into automated systems brings multiple efficiency and cost-saving benefits:

  • Increased Efficiency: Our horizontal ring stretch wrappers are engineered to operate continuously, reducing the need for manual intervention and speeding up the packaging line. Their unique ring structure allows for 360-degree wrapping in one smooth motion, cutting down cycle times.
  • Improved Load Stability and Safety: With precise tension control, horizontal ring stretch wrappers negate the risk of irregular-sized products tipping or shifting, ensuring loads/bundles remain stable from warehouse to destination. This feature is especially beneficial for securing tall loads that are difficult to wrap vertically.
  • Cost Savings on Film Usage: The intelligent design of our horizontal ring stretch wrappers enables efficient film utilization, which minimizes waste and lowers material costs over time.
  • Enhanced Automation Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration, Kaufman’s horizontal ring stretch wrappers are compatible with existing automated packaging systems, offering high reliability and easy programmability to fit specific packaging needs.
