I could do a search on google but thought I 'd check here first to see if anyone had a contact for a robust, super-duper, cost-effective, pallet stretch wrapping machine.

Regards,
Simon

Simon,

What type?

1 The super dooper automated gizmo where you dump a pallet and it does it all.

2 Or the two legged and two handed inconsistant variety.

Both have advantages and disadvantages.

Item 1 is cost :o Item 2 is cost and aggravation

Don't care :D

I have binned the info I had :crying:

This may be a bit bizarre, but try a packaging company!!

Seriously, if my brain cell is functioning, the best unit was supplied by one of the major packaging material suppliers, just can't remember which. :wacko:



Bit scatty at the moment, new company owners and doing the planning for TS16949 :happydance: not

Simon,

It depends on your application and volume of pallets - Our current stretchwrapper is supplied by http://www.robopac.com

It is a rotating arm system which flies around at about 100MPH :death:

But in all seriousness we have had it for about 3 years & no problems so far. It is the only piece of equipment we have ever purchased that did not require modifications post installation risk assessments.

Would be happy to recommend it..

Our previous stetchwarpper was the pallet turntable type - waste of time - basically threw the product everywhere..

That conjures visions, some good...some bad.

Cheers mate. :beer:

Yup, the rotating arm type. Recommend

I have happy memories of a demo of the rotating pallet type that did just that, spew the boxes everywhere!! We did laugh
