Stretch Wrappers in Houston, TX — Every Pallet Locked Down, 10 Loads a Day or 1,000
Complete "End of Line" packaging solutions: pallet wrapper and stretch wrapper machines ready to ensure maximum efficiency while cutting labor and stretch film costs — designed to work flawlessly even in the harshest conditions, and integrated with complete pallet handling systems.
There's a Wrapper Built for Your Load — Even the Ugly Ones
There's a pallet wrapping machine designed to wrap virtually any pallet load — even unstable, extra-heavy, or irregular shaped. Whether you need to wrap 10 or 1,000 loads per day, pallet wrapping machines maximize productivity, cut costs, and offer years of trouble-free performance.
The four machine classes come down to two questions: does the load spin, or does the film spin around it? And does an operator start the cycle, or does conveyor feed it automatically? Answer those and the machine picks itself.
Upstream sits your palletizer; underneath and around it, the pallet conveyor that makes wrapping automatic.
Turntable or Rotary Arm × Semi-Automatic or Automatic
Turntable Wrappers
The workhorse for stable loads: the pallet spins on the turntable while the film carriage travels the mast. Semi-automatic models come in high-profile and low-profile versions — low-profile for pallet-jack loading, high-profile with integral scale-and-conveyor options.
Rotary Arm Wrappers
The arm carries the film around a load that never moves — the answer for unstable, extra-heavy, and irregular loads that shouldn't spin, and the architecture of choice for high-speed automatic lines like the one pictured above.
| Semi-Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|
| Turntable | Forklift or pallet jack delivers; operator attaches film and starts cycle. High- and low-profile. The 10-loads-a-day economical answer. | Conveyor in, automatic film attach/cut/seal, conveyor out — stable loads at volume. |
| Rotary Arm | Operator-started wrapping for heavy or unstable loads that can't spin. | The 1,000-loads-a-day machine: inline on CDLR, no operator, no forklift touch. |
Pallet Load Conveyors for Your Stretch Wrapper
We integrate complete pallet handling systems with automatic stretch film wrappers — so the load travels from palletizer discharge through wrapping to the shipping lane without a forklift touch.
Chain-driven live roller — the pallet transport backbone into and out of the wrap zone.
Right-angle chain transfers that move loads between conveyor lines without rotation.
Conveyor-mounted turntables that reorient loads for aisle direction or label facing.
Transfer cars that shuttle wrapped loads across multiple lanes — one wrapper serving many lines.
All four are covered in depth on our pallet handling conveyor page — and one controls package sequences the palletizer, conveyor, and wrapper as a single cell.
Stretch Wrapper FAQs
Turntable vs. rotary arm — what's the difference?
Turntable: the load spins, the film carriage climbs a fixed mast — ideal for stable loads. Rotary arm: the load stays still and the film spins around it — the choice for unstable, extra-heavy, or irregular loads and high-speed automatic lines.
Semi-automatic vs. automatic — which do I need?
Semi-automatic: an operator delivers the load, attaches film, and starts the cycle. Automatic: conveyor feeds the load; the machine attaches, wraps, cuts, and seals unattended. As daily counts climb from 10 toward 1,000, automatic pays for itself in labor and film savings.
Can you wrap unstable or irregular loads?
Yes — there's a machine designed to wrap virtually any pallet load, even unstable, extra-heavy, or irregular shaped. Rotary arm machines excel here because the load never rotates.
What conveyor integrates with an automatic wrapper?
CDLR conveyors, pallet transfers, turntables, and T-cars — the complete pallet handling system that lets wrapped loads flow from palletizer to shipping automatically.
Will it hold up in a harsh environment?
Our automatic stretch film wrappers are designed to work flawlessly even in the harshest conditions — years of trouble-free performance is the design target, not the marketing line.
