Choosing the right LLDPE roll type requires careful analysis. There are several factors to consider. Asking the following questions can help narrow the choices
What is the maximum size of the goods you need to wrap? The weight and type of load you’re strapping can be deciding factors. In addition, when opting for an operator-cycled machine, these factors can dictate the optimal kind needed.
What weather conditions will the packages face? Will they spend significant time out in the elements? This may require a more thorough and consistent packaging process, which an operator-cycled machine can provide.
What are the physical characteristics of the packages you need to wrap? Things like load integrity and corners can influence whether an operator-cycled or handheld machine is appropriate.
How fast do you want to package your products? If you have an occasional wrapping need, a handheld unit should suffice. A semi-automatic or automatic wrapper can be a game changer if you need to package hundreds or thousands of units each day.
Questions like these can help identify the specific stretch film needs, ensuring that they select the right machine for their circumstances.
How and When To Upgrade to an Automated wrapping Machine
Many businesses start with a handheld strapper. This provides a high degree of strapping quality, albeit in minimum quantity. However, when a company scales its production, upgrading to an automated machine can make sense.
Automatic wrapping systems are in-line devices that dramatically improve throughput, efficiency, and productivity. They also come with a larger selection of programmable features. This provides operators with more control over the nuances of the manufacturing process and enables them to meet customized needs without increasing their own participation or slowing output.
