Upon exit of the Palletizing System, the finished load needs securement prior to pick-up by warehouse operators. An automatic strapper or 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.

Upon completion of strapping the palletized load, the finished load is conveyed to an automatic stretch wrapper. Here stretch wrap is applied to the unit to act as a dust cover and final containment to keep containers in place. KES manufactures a variety of stretch wrapper models to accommodate the loads per hour and film size requirements. The KForce T20 turntable system is also known as the Expa-15-100” automatic rotary table stretch wrapper. The EXPA rotary table stretch wrapper applies wrap while the turntable rotates the load, and the stretch head is on a fixed tower. The benefits of a rotary table stretch wrapper are reduced footprint for when space is important. 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 startup the finished end-of-line discharge conveyor system to provide loads to the warehouse operators.
