3300-A Conveyorized A-ARM Automatic Pallet Wrapper

A fully automatic conveyorized system. The customer can choose a simple, affordable basic system that can accommodate two pallets or add the necessary conveyors to expand the system to satisfy the production requirements.

NOTE: The 3300-A Conveyorized A-Arm Automatic Pallet Wrapper is designed to be installed with existing product flow and conveyor layout design. Whether In-line or off-line, the automation package is designed to be in-line with conveyors using interface relays/logic or as an off-line standalone system using a wireless cycle start remote.

AUTOMATION:

• “All Electric – No Pneumatics Required”
• Cousins exclusive patented A-Arm film cut and hold device starts and ends the wrap process at the top of the load. This uniquely different approach to attaching and cutting the stretch film provides you with these benefits:
  • Selectable top banding capability
  • Stabilizes the load early in the wrap cycle
  • Places the ending film tail at the top of the load instead of the bottom
• There is no film clamp on the turntable that can be damaged by debris or operator error – eliminates the need for a film clamp power source on the turntable for easier maintenance
• Load placement on the turntable is not critical
• No air hook-ups or noisy compressors
• Automatic First Revolution Load Scanning Safety Feature detects uneven or partial stacked top layers and automatically adjusts A-Arm height clear of obstructions
• A-Arm Anti-Fall Safety Device
