The Octopus steel frame stretch wrapper is a fully automatic pallet wrapping machine incorporating the latest technology and the famous Octopus ring type method. The wrapping film reel is suspended from a ring and it revolves around the pallet.
The ring is raised and lowered according to the wrapping program. The pallet remains stationary, which makes the wrapping of unstable and “lightweight” products considerably easier. There are no centrifugal forces to cause stress or strain on the load or on the equipment.
As the ring can be accurately positioned in the vertical direction, wrapping can be started and finished at any height required. The Octopus provides optimal load containment while minimizing film usage. The unique, easy load film carriage design provides all of the benefits of an “S” wrap while still being very user friendly.
Compared to traditional “W” wrap systems, the positive contact of the “S” wrap pattern improves pre-stretch levels, can better handle a variety of films, reduces wear and significantly lowers the overall cost of ownership. Coupled with the innovative ability to vary film force throughout the wrap cycle, this Octopus is the worlds best stretch wrapper.
