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: |
- Durable, long lasting anti-friction UHMWP (Ultra High Molecular Weight Plastic) slider guide bearings allows for smooth lifting operation of the film carriage with no maintenance required.
- Flat conductor cable designed for constant flexing is used for the carriage power feed.
- Robust and durable belt harness lift drive provides safe ascent and descent operation of the film carriage and adjusts automatically.
- Easy access open design for maintenance with critical components all mounted at lower levels.
|
| 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.
