Semi-Automatic Extra-Wide Rotating Arm

Two styles of film carriage are available for our extra-wide rotating arm machine; a manually adjusted core brake system and fixed power pre-stretch system.

The manually adjusted film carriage with mechanical brake has an indicator to display the tension setting. There is also a tension on/off lever to allow the stretch film to be released whilst being attached to the pallet without altering the film tension. This system allows tension to be constant and not affected by the size of the film reel. In contrast, the fixed film carriage operates in a pre-selected gear, chosen from the control panel, of which there are four; 150%, 200%, 250% and 300% power pre-stretch. The tension is controlled by a strain gauge which is adjusted on the control panel.

Further noteworthy features of the rotating arm system include its strength and sturdiness, with the capacity to handle stretch film reels weighing up to 20kg, its easily threaded film insertion system and its perfect pre-stretching mechanism with 'S' shaped path (this combines a larger surface area of film contact on the rollers with a reduced distance between each roller). The film carriage also boasts strategically placed a black photoeye, which accurately detects the height of each pallet in order to dispense only the correct amount of film needed in the wrapping process.
