This equipment applies a band of plastic or other material around items, securing them to a pallet for efficient storage and transport. A common example is securing boxes of products to a wooden pallet for shipment via truck or train. This process creates a stable unit load, reducing the risk of damage during handling and transit.
Automated systems of this nature offer significant advantages in warehouse and logistics operations. They enhance load stability, protecting goods from shifting or falling. This improved security minimizes product damage, reduces labor costs associated with manual wrapping or strapping, and increases throughput. The development of this technology has significantly streamlined palletizing processes compared to earlier methods like shrink wrapping or manual strapping, making them indispensable in modern supply chains.
