Automated stretch-wrapping palettization tech delivers up to 50% more throughput.

A good worker on the line can shrink wrap 15 pallets per hour at their peak.  At their lowest point, this drops to about 10 pallets per hour, leaving you an average of 12 pallets per hour, per day.

An automated stretch-wrapping machine can repeatedly wrap 30 pallets per hour. Based on an average 5-day working each of 8 hours per day, the difference in output is staggering.

Manual:  480

Automated:  1,200

But volume output is only part of the story. 

An automated shrink wrapping palettization machine means you can take the labor currently assigned to wrapping and redeploy it to a more high-value task.  This saves you money and increases worker satisfaction as they are no longer required to do boring repetitive tasks.

Another major advantage of automated stretch-wrapping is the dramatic saving in film costs. We have calculated that a switch from a manual wrapping system can cut total film and labor costs by as much as 80%.

This is for two reasons. First, an automated machine uses the exact same amount of film per load.  Moreover, the machine does a superior job of stretching this film to maximize the yield from every roll.

Studies show that a machine can stretch film up to 40 times more efficiently than a human with a superior finish.

This leads to the second reason. To err is human.  Wrap can get tangled. More wrap than needed is used or something goes wrong and a pallet needs to get wrapped again.

This never happens with an automated shrink wrapping palettization machine.  Every wrap is consistent and professional 100% of the time.

The cumulative end result is a saving of tens of thousands of dollars a year by making the switch from manual wrapping to automated.
