Our stretch film machine categories
Turntable stretch wrappers
One of the most common solutions for wrapping standard pallets.
How it works:
The pallet is placed on a rotating platform while the film is applied from bottom to top around the load.
Benefits:
- Reliable and versatile solution
- Excellent performance-to-cost ratio
- Simple, repeatable settings
- Compatible with multiple film types
Ideal for:
- Stable, uniform pallets
- Low to medium throughput
- Standard warehouse and production environments
Rotary arm stretch wrappers
Designed for loads that cannot rotate.
How it works:
The pallet remains stationary while the film carriage rotates around the load.
Benefits:
- Ideal for unstable or very heavy loads
- Reduces the risk of shifting or collapse Suitable for automated production lines
- High wrapping consistency
Ideal for:
- Lightweight, unstable or tall loads
- Higher throughput environments
- Integration into automated lines
Orbital (horizontal) wrappers
Designed for long or irregularly shaped products that cannot be palletized conventionally.
How it works:
A horizontal ring applies film while the product moves through the machine.
Benefits:
- Uniform wrapping along the entire length
- Excellent protection against dust and moisture
- Precise film tension control Suitable for oversized products
Ideal for:
- Furniture, pipes, panels, mouldings
- Wood, aluminum, steel
- Long or complex industrial products
Mobile stretch wrapping robots
Offer maximum flexibility when pallets are difficult to move.
How it works:
The robot moves around the pallet to apply film, without requiring fixed infrastructure.
Benefits:
- Full mobility within the facility
- No turntable or conveyor required
- Ideal for multiple packaging zones
- Quick, easy setup
Ideal for:
- Pallets of varying sizes and weights
- Limited or variable space
- Irregular packaging volumes
Why use a pallet wrapper instead of wrapping by hand?
Improved pallet stability and safety
Reduced damage and returns
Lower film consumption through pre-stretching
More consistent wrapping speed
Reduced physical strain for operators
How to choose the right machine?
The right equipment depends on:
- Load type (stable, unstable, long, heavy)
- Desired throughput
- Available space
- Required level of automation
- Handling and transport constraints
Our Carrousel experts help you analyze your needs, select the right equipment and integrate it into your operations.
The importance of film and machine settings
Machine performance depends not only on the equipment, but also on the film and its proper settings.
Poor film selection or incorrect settings often lead to unnecessary overconsumption without improving load stability. By contrast, the right combination of machine and film allows you to reduce material usage while maintaining safety and minimizing environmental impact.
At Carrousel, our experts guide you in selecting the right film and optimizing machine settings to improve overall performance.
