Cabinet Furniture Stretch Wrapper Application

Stretch wrapping cabinet furniture presents many difficult issues to resolve. They required multiple highly custom turntable style stretch wrapper systems. A few of the difficulties were:

-Lightweight loads require securing during the fast wrap cycle.

-Cabinet furniture is easily scratched or damaged during the packaging process.

-Locating cabinets for proper stretch wrapping. Cabinets are required to be centered to properly stretch wrap.

The Phoenix Turntable Conveyorized Automatic (PCTA), with its compact footprint, is a workhorse that can be used in most stretch wrapper applications. The unit is often custom-built for tough applications. The features added to meet this customer’s requirements include:

A Top Platen stabilizes the load ensuring the lightweight product doesn’t move during the stretch wrapping cycle. Having a load that moves during the cycle could create some detrimental downstream issues to the system. The addition of a Top Platen can add to the wrapping cycle time. Therefore, the system includes an upstream load height detection system. This allows the cabinet furniture stretch wrapper to adjust to the incoming load height without having to completely return to home, thus reducing the time lost.

The urethane coating improves the friction allowing the cabinet furniture to flow on the conveyor, therefore eliminating the need for a pallet. Most importantly, urethane coated rollers prevent scratching or marring of the cabinet furniture.

An automatic load centering system first ensures each cabinet is centered on the turntable for proper stretch wrapping. Secondly, random placement on the conveyor is also corrected with this load centering system.
