Semi-automatic pallet stretch-wrapper with top pressure plate. The machine is equally suitable for light and heavy pallet loads. The top pressure plate moves down automatically holding the pallet load securely in place during the wrapping operation. The top pressure plate can be adjusted according to a required maximum loading height. Its travel is thus minimized, resulting in an increased capacity of the machine. Features independent setting of film carriage and turntable speed to fully utilize the film and determine the extent of film overlap. Soft start on turntable is a great advantage where pallet loads are light or fragile. The turntable starts up slowly and then accelerates until the required speed has been reached. Memory stores the last used settings for the turntable and film carriage speeds. Programme for rainproof pallet stretch-wrapping offering efficient protection against rain and humidity (requires separate top film application). Automatic setting of pallet load height via photocell. The sealed tower, the emergency stop as well as the safety switch built into the foot plate under the film carriage make the PW-1100 a very safe machine. Variable number of wraps at top and bottom available upon selection (1-9). Independent setting of turntable and up/down speed of film carriage during operation as required. The option of manual operation and, with this, the possibility of choosing, for instance only top wrapping.
