Stretch Wrappers Retrofits And Upgrades

Reduce Stretch Film Costs while Increasing your Pallet Stretch Wrapper Production!
In many cases, a simple packaging retrofit can restore an older pallet stretch wrap machine into a very cost effective and efficient stretch wrapping system, often at a fraction of the cost of a new stretch wrap machine.
Stretch wrapper retrofits and upgrades are a very cost effective way of improving pallet unitizing and increasing production, while reducing stretch film costs.

We have designed many stretch packaging retrofits and rebuid modifications for all brands of pallet stretch wrap machine, including ITW Muller, Wulftec, Orion, Lantech, Cousins and others!

Includes:

Pop-Up elevates load off the rollers by 4". Overhanging product may not result in film grabbing the pallet.
52" BFR conveyor rated at 4,000 lbs.
Dual air-bag c/w linkage system for level lifting of pallet.
Conveyor legs with p/u supporting attachments to replace existing legs

Proximity sensor p/u detection and solenoid valve unit for activation.
Existing machine PLC require 2X spare outputs and 1X spare input.
