Classification of wrapping machines: How to choose the right equipment according to packaging needs
In the process of logistics transportation and warehousing packaging, wrapping machines have become an important equipment to improve shipping efficiency and ensure the stability of goods. Faced with a wide variety of wrapping machines on the market, how should enterprise users select them according to their own cargo types and operating methods? This article will start from the structural principle and application scope, and systematically introduce the classification of several common wrapping machines to help companies quickly identify suitable equipment and improve packaging efficiency.
1. Turntable wrapping machine-the main equipment for standard pallet packaging
The turntable wrapping machine is the most common type of equipment. The goods are placed in the center of the turntable. After the equipment is started, the turntable drives the goods to rotate, and the film rack rises and falls synchronously to complete the wrapping. It is suitable for regular pallet-type goods with stable center of gravity, and is widely used in food, building materials, e-commerce, electrical appliances and other industries. It has a simple structure, easy operation and high cost performance. It is the preferred standardized packaging solution for small and medium-sized enterprises.
2. Rocker wrapping machine-suitable for high or unstable goods
The rocker wrapping machine uses a mechanical arm to wrap around the goods, and the goods themselves do not rotate to avoid tipping caused by unstable center of gravity. It is particularly suitable for packaging large equipment, high goods or heavy pallets, and is widely used in home appliances, hardware, machinery manufacturing and other industries. This model has a wide range of adaptation and fast winding speed, and is suitable for terminal packaging scenarios with higher requirements.
3. Online wrapping machine-automatic solution for assembly line packaging
The online wrapping machine can be embedded in the company's existing conveying system to realize functions such as automatic feeding and unloading, automatic induction film wrapping, and automatic film breaking and sticking. It is suitable for industries with production lines, frequent orders, and high beat requirements, such as e-commerce logistics, automatic warehousing, fast-moving consumer goods manufacturing, etc. It is a key equipment for realizing unmanned packaging.
4. Self-propelled wrapping machine - solve the packaging problem of large and difficult-to-move goods
The self-propelled wrapping machine has a mobile function and can walk around the goods to wrap. It is not limited by the size, weight, and shape of the goods. It is suitable for large equipment, special-shaped pallets or extra-long goods. It is often used in industries that require high flexibility packaging, such as auto parts, wood, and aluminum.
5. Special structure wrapping machine - meet customized packaging needs
Such as cylinder wrapping machine, luggage wrapping machine, top wrapping machine, film wrapping and strapping machine, horizontal wrapping machine, etc., provide personalized solutions for different shapes, packaging forms and additional requirements (such as laminating, weighing). Suitable for enterprises with subdivided requirements for packaging technology, such as papermaking, rubber, building materials, e-commerce express delivery, etc.
With the development of packaging automation, the classification of wrapping machines will become more and more refined. Before purchasing, it is recommended that enterprises choose the most suitable model based on the attributes of the goods, packaging rhythm, site layout, and subsequent expansion needs. Choosing the right wrapping machine not only improves packaging efficiency, but also significantly reduces consumable waste and labor costs, which is a key step to improve shipment competitiveness.
