Example Configurations of KForce Standard Stretch Wrappers
The images above are representations of how each system might be laid out. The actual configuration of each system is customized based on the unique stretch wrapping automation needs of the customer.
Strapping and Stretch Wrapping for Secure Loads
Upon exit of the Palletizing System, the finished load needs securement prior to pick-up by warehouse operators. An automatic strapper, also referred to as an automatic bander, applies a 2 x 2, 4 x 4, or other selected band pattern based on customer needs. KES commonly integrates strapping units along with local controls for strap pattern selection, stop, start, manual, auto and diagnostics. In addition, KES manufactures a lift and turn or a strapper shuttle and sequences the load through the strapper.
After being strapped down, the finished load is conveyed to an automatic stretch wrapper. Here, the stretch wrap is applied to the unit to act as a dust cover and final containment to keep products in place. KES manufactures a variety of stretch wrapper models to accommodate the loads per hour and film size requirements. The standard stretch wrapper KES commonly installs is the SXPA-20-100” automatic rotary arm stretch wrapper. The SXPA rotary arm model applies film to the stationary load while the film head is rotated up and down around the load. This method is suggested for more unstable palletized loads. This solution offers 20” or 30” film size options, selectable wrap patterns, automatic load height detection, and system diagnostics.
After final packaging through the stretch wrapper, Kaufman Engineered Systems will manufacture and supply finished load accumulation based on customer requirements. KES will work with the customer to design, manufacture, program, install, and start up the finished end-of-line discharge conveyor system to provide loads to the warehouse operators.
