Logistics BusinessNo Need for Turntables, Claims Robotic Pallet Wrapper Maker

Stretch wrapping turntables are widely used for automated stretch wrapping of palletised loads, but what if the consignment is too large or too heavy for a turntable? What if wrapping can’t be limited to a single location?

The Optimax RSW6 robotic pallet wrapper is the answer, according to UK packaging specialist Southgate. Simple tiller controls guide the wrapper to the pallet, but after that the wrapper takes over. Following the pallet perimeter, it completes a complete wrapping cycle without further operator assistance, and only requires 1.15 metres clearance around the pallet to operate.

The company will be showing RSW6 on stand 2090 at Multimodal 2018, NEC Birmingham, on 1-3 May.
