Putty Powder Pallets Prone to Collapse? Stretch Film Wrapping Improves Dispatch Stability

Packaging Requirements in Putty Powder Production
In building materials production, putty powder is typically filled into bags and stacked on pallets manually or using palletizing systems. After palletizing, reliable external packaging is required before storage or shipment to prevent bag displacement, pallet collapse, or bag damage during transport.
Because putty powder bags are usually woven or composite bags with low surface friction, pallet stability alone is often insufficient for long-distance transport and repeated handling. As a result, stretch film wrapping around the pallet is a common and effective solution.
Basic Pallet Wrapping Method for Putty Powder
After palletizing, the entire pallet of putty powder is wrapped as a single unit using stretch film. Multiple wrapping layers are applied around the pallet base, sides, and upper sections, creating continuous tension that securely binds the bags together. This method does not alter the original bag shape or contact the product itself, while ensuring stability and facilitating forklift handling and loading.
Single-Pallet Wrapping with Pallet Wrapping Machines
For factories with flexible dispatch schedules or non-continuous output, turntable pallet wrapping machines can be used for single-pallet packaging. The pallet is placed on a rotating turntable, while the film carriage moves vertically to wrap the load. Additional reinforcement wraps at the pallet base and mid-to-upper sections provide enhanced stability for heavy and tall putty powder pallets during transport.
Inline Stretch Wrapping for Continuous Dispatch
For high-output production lines with frequent dispatch, inline stretch wrapping machines can be installed after palletizing stations. Pallets automatically enter the wrapping station via conveyors, completing the wrapping process without manual handling. Inline wrappers integrate seamlessly with palletizers and conveyor systems, improving efficiency and reducing labor requirements—ideal for large-scale building material manufacturers.
Advantages of Rotary Arm Wrappers in Heavy-Duty Applications
When dealing with heavy pallets or tall stacked loads, rotary arm stretch wrappers offer a reliable solution. During wrapping, the rotary arm moves the film carriage around the stationary pallet, improving stability and reducing risks associated with pallet rotation.
Rotary arm wrappers can be integrated directly into conveyor lines to meet continuous dispatch needs while minimizing load movement, making them well suited for heavy pallet applications in the building materials industry.
Flexible Equipment Configurations
In practical applications, putty powder wrapping is not limited to a single machine type. Some factories combine turntable wrappers with inline systems, or use rotary arm wrappers on main dispatch lines while retaining standalone machines for auxiliary lines. This flexible configuration balances packaging stability, efficiency, and investment cost.
Practical Benefits in Transportation and Storage
Wrapped putty powder pallets are less prone to bag displacement during transport and offer greater integrity during loading and unloading. In storage, the risk of pallet collapse is reduced, while standardized packaging improves truck loading planning and warehouse space management.
