Phoenix Low Profile Semi-Automatic Pallet Wrapper |
|
Carriage Lift and Tower System |
| |
| Design Challenge |
| Repetitive UP-DOWN motion of the film carriage for every pallet wrapped is very demanding on the carriage guide system, lifting system, and power cables for any pallet wrapping machine. |
|
| How Phoenix designs and builds the machine towers and lifts to stand out: |
- Solid "cold rolled" steel carriage guide bars welded in the tower
- Total surrounding heavy guaged steel tower body to protect lifting & rotation motors
- UHMW wear guides for film carriage
- Dual #50 chain carriage lifting system for unprecedented safety
- Adjustable upper and lower limit switch travel blocks
- Flat cable designing for repeated flexibility
|
| What you might see with competitive models: |
- Brittle plastic guide wheels that can break on impact.
- Steel roller whels wearing right on the steel frame of the machine.
- Regular power cords which are prone to fraying and shorting due to the constant flexing over time.
- Rigid chain designs are dangerous to the operator due to their closed loop system creating a potential hazardous area when descending (can crush anything beneath it). Tension and lubrication are always issues.
