STRETCH WRAPPING

The stretch wrapping process consists in spiral wrapping a load thanks to a film's width from 250 to 1 000 mm ( usually 500 mm).

Examples of stretch wrapping on different sizes loads :

rotating table rotating arm rotating ring

This process is the ideal answer to costs and floor space constraints.It fits every kind of loads' sizes and allows to get a packaging up to 5 sides with the Thimon solution, the WRA-PAL SWING.

There is two possible processes : by load rotation or by film's reel rotation

rotating table / axial radial ROTO-PAL / Girpack / 5 sides

Overwrapping by stretch wrapping : a real expert process !

Applied TECHNOLOGIES

Stretch wrapping is often realised with stretch film but can also be realised with shrink film to strenghten the load.

In the shrink technology, the film is layed and then heated, which allows to get a perfect shrinking that suits the load to ensure the best its protection and stability.


Folding system on a rotating table	Cut/sealing device	Easy film loading

The WRA-PAL range offers solutions from 10p/j to 120p/h.

Rotating reels with WRA-PAL ORCAD

	Machine example with the WRA-PAL ORCAD TWIN : - Very high speed, - High stretch rate, - Perfect control of the lay-on force, - Increased load retention.

Rotating pallets with the WRA-PAL ELITE

Machine example with the WRA-PAL ELITE Pro : - Easy use ( 5 programs memorization,… ) - Easy instalation (Reduced floor space,…) - Easy maintenance (Easy access to all the machine's components,… )

The 5 sides wrapping with the WRA-PAL SWING

	Machine example with the WRA-PAL SWING Pro - 5 sides wrapping with only one machine, - Perfect control of the lay-on force, - Increased load retention, - Easy film loading

The ROTO-PAL 6040 axial and radial range for the reels wrapping

Machine example with the ROTO-PAL 6040 axial :
- Total protection (weatherproofness),
- Possibilty to gather several small reels,
- Storage of a single wrapping component.

Machine example with the ROTO-PAL 6040 radial :
- High mechanical protection of the reel while it is conveyed by clamp trucks, conveyors or rolled.
- Stability of the reels when they are side stacked,
- Accessibility of the core.

Reinforced Protection :


	The edge protection : - The overlapping of the layers of film is obtained by folding the film width, an original Thimon system, thus allowing application of up to 5 film layers. - This over-thickness increases the protection of the products and makes it easy to roll them.

The PE Foam protection :

- The PE foam plays the part of a shock absorber, with a view to protect more efficiently the very fragile products, particularly the body and the edges of the reel, against the risks of creasing, hence marking the product whilst being handled.
- The protection is completed by an axial, or radial overwrapping with film.

The paper protection

- This process uses an expandible paper, which is quite suitable for overwrapping the body of the pallet and covers a sufficient area of the sides to keep the cardboard disc protection in place.
- It provides shock and penetration protection during handling.
- This operation is followed by a film wraping, so as to make the product wheatherproof.

The spiral wrapping range GIRPACK :

Machine example with the GIRPACK C :
- Adaptability to multisizes products,
- Reduced floor space,
- Film and energy savings,
- Multiple patterns grouping

The Stretch wrapping process is the ideal answer to the needs of the following industries
Food, Paper, Building, Chemical, Other industries.
