What’s the Most efficient way to Wrap Big bundles?
Timber is an important building material in the United States, and mass timber is an area of growing interest. It’s a class of engineered wood products that includes cross-laminated timber (CLT), glue-laminated timber (glulam), nail-laminated timber, and structural composite timber. Mass timber is strong enough to build large buildings and is typically used for walls, roofs, and floors.
Mass timber has many advantages, including:
Efficiency: Prefabricated wood panels make construction and renovation more efficient.
Sustainability: Mass timber is a renewable and sustainable material.
Climate benefits: Mass timber helps reduce carbon emissions.
Comfort: People may find spaces built with wood warm, cozy, and relaxing.
Fire resistance: Densely laminated beams can resist fire well.
Cost: Mass timber can be cheaper than concrete and steel, depending on where it is sourced.
As the mass timber is really popular in the market, the throughput of the manufacturers are really high. Mass timber are piled up and stacked together as very big bundles then packed for selling. The big bundle packaging is good for storing and transporting mass timber, making it more efficient and low the costs. But how to pack these big bundles is really a problem for manufacturers and they are really in need of solutions for packing their bundles of timbers.
Horizontal stretch hood machine seems to be the top solution for packing mass timber bundles:
This machine is efficient to pack the bundles by covering a plastic bag on the bundles and make the sealing. But there are disadvantages for the costs of machine and costs of the packaging material. Investors must have high budgets if they are planning to choose this machine as their packaging solution. Also, the price of the packaging material of this machine is 2-3 times higher than the normal stretch wrap.
Horizontal automatic stretch wrapping machine with high performance and good stability is another solution for packing big bundles of mass timber. Everything from gilded picture frames, various furniture, wooden bundles, profiles of various materials to raw steel packaging can be wrapped. Automatic stretch film application and cutting system, which can be integrated into the automatic operation sequence. Operation panel with function keyboard and display for data input.
- Special conveying device facilitates loading and conveying packaging and improves conveying capacity.
- Automatic alarm when indicator fails. Faults can be displayed.
- Photoelectric sensors are used to set the packaging position.
- Material tension can be automatically adjusted.
- The rotating device is controlled by a frequency converter. The overlap rate can be adjusted as needed.
- Siemens PLC control system.
- Pneumatic grabbing, automatic attachment and cutting of film tail.
- The number of film packaging layers and time are adjustable. (Cycle Pause Function)
- Manual adjustment of the side guides for inlet and outlet.
- Photoelectric tubes automatically detect inlet and outlet products during operation.
- Ring size, ring speed, additional conveyor and conveyor type can be customized
Note: The ring diameter will be consistent with your product size.
