End of lineWhat information is needed to specify equipment for pallet wrapping?
Practical guidance for pallet wrapping: capture samples, dimensions, output, acceptance tests and site constraints before buying.
Read the answer →What normally controls the result?
End-of-line equipment must receive stable products at a controlled rate and create a pack that survives handling, storage and transport.
- Product grouping and spacing
- Film, carton, case or tray quality
- Machine entry and transfer control
- Heat, tape, glue or closure settings
- Finished-pack inspection and discharge
Information that makes a recommendation more accurate
- Product and finished-pack dimensions
- Pack pattern and orientation
- Film, board, tape or case specification
- Required output
- Conveyor height and direction
- Transport and stacking test
