In the packaging and logistics sector, protecting loads during storage and transport is essential. Among the most practical and versatile solutions are self-propelled stretch wrappers for pallets and packages, machines designed to apply stretch film quickly, neatly, and efficiently, even on difficult-to-handle loads.
Unlike traditional turntable stretch wrappers, where the pallet remains stationary while the platform rotates, in self-propelled stretch wrappers the machine itself moves around the package or pallet. This feature makes them particularly suitable for irregular loads, oversized packages, very heavy pallets, or products that cannot be moved easily.
What are self-propelled stretch wrappers?
Self-propelled stretch wrappers are semi-automatic wrapping machines designed to apply stretch film directly around the load. The machine moves around the pallet, following the perimeter of the package and distributing the film evenly.
This solution offers several advantages:
- the ability to wrap large-sized pallets;
- handling of irregular or unstable loads;
- use directly in the warehouse or shipping area;
- faster packaging operations;
- greater flexibility compared to traditional stretch wrappers.
Self-propelled stretch wrappers are ideal for companies looking for a practical and efficient solution without installing a fixed automatic machine.
Manual and semi-electric self-propelled stretch wrappers
Among the simplest and most versatile solutions are manual and semi-electric models, designed for practical and immediate use.
These stretch wrappers can work with stretch film rolls ranging from 5 to 16 kg and allow pallets and packages to be wrapped up to a maximum height of 2500 mm.
SOME OF OUR MODELS:
Model SPW FP16 M – Manual stretch wrapper
The SPW FP16 M model is a manual push stretch wrapper equipped with a manual crank system for raising and lowering the film carriage.
It is a simple, robust, and cost-effective solution, ideal for companies that carry out non-continuous wrapping operations but still require professional and secure packaging.
Main advantages include:
- extremely easy to use;
- compact structure and easy to move;
- an excellent solution for small and medium production volumes.
It is particularly suitable for warehouses, workshops, and manufacturing environments that require operational flexibility.
Model SPW FP16 A – Semi-electric stretch wrapper
Il modello SPW FP16 A mantiene la praticità del carrello manuale introducendo però un sistema elettrico per la salita e la discesa della bobina tramite pulsante.
Questa configurazione permette di velocizzare le operazioni di avvolgimento e ridurre lo sforzo dell’operatore, migliorando ergonomia e precisione durante il lavoro.
I principali punti di forza sono:
- regolazione elettrica dell’altezza di avvolgimento;
- maggiore rapidità operativa;
- utilizzo intuitivo e immediato;
- ideale per utilizzi frequenti e continui.
È la soluzione perfetta per chi cerca un compromesso tra semplicità, praticità e maggiore automazione.
