Lantech Stretch Wrapping & Pallet Wrapping Machines

Stretch wrapping equipment, such as a pallet wrapping machine or stretch wrapper machine, is a versatile packaging solution used to secure and protect palletised loads for transportation or storage. Commonly applied in pallet wrapping, stretch wrapping provides load stability, prevents shifting, and safeguards goods against damage during handling and transit.

What Is a Stretch Wrapping Machine?

A stretch wrapping machine, also known as a pallet wrapping machine or stretch wrapper, applies stretch film under tension around a palletised load to secure it for storage or transit. Sunstream Industries supplies the full range of Lantech stretch wrapping machines in Singapore, from semi-automatic models for moderate volumes to fully automatic systems for high-throughput operations.

Why Lantech Is the Industry Standard for Stretch Wrapping

Lantech invented stretch wrapping and defines a safe-to-ship pallet using three measurable standards that many conventional wrapping systems fail to control consistently.

1. Containment Force Throughout the Load
Containment force, film tension multiplied by the number of layers, is what keeps a load stable in transit. Lantech machines deliver consistent, calibrated force from the base to the top of every pallet, preventing shifting without crushing the goods inside.

2. Film Cable Lock to the Pallet
At the base of each cycle, Lantech pallet wrapping machines roll the film into a tight cable and tuck it beneath the pallet’s deck boards. This locks the load to the pallet itself, stopping it from sliding off during forklift handling or sudden movement in transit.

3. No Film Tails
Loose film ends catch on racking and equipment, partially unwrapping loads and creating floor hazards. Lantech machines automatically cut and wipe the film tail against the load at the end of every cycle, leaving a clean, secure wrap every time.

Benefits of Stretch Wrapping for Industrial Packaging in Singapore

Load Stability and Protection

Stretch wrapping tightly secures items together, creating a stable unit load. This prevents shifting, toppling, or sliding during transportation or storage. With a protective barrier, stretch wrapping shields the goods from moisture, dust, and other environmental factors.

Cost-Effective Packaging

Stretch wrapping is a cost-effective packaging method compared to alternative options like strapping or shrink wrapping. The stretch film itself is relatively inexpensive, and the equipment required is generally affordable.

Increased Efficiency and Productivity

Stretch wrapping equipment automates the packaging process, saving time and labour compared to manual methods. With the ability to wrap multiple loads quickly and consistently, productivity is enhanced. Additionally, stretch-wrapping machines often feature programmable settings, allowing customization for different load sizes, shapes, and film tension requirements.

Enhanced Load Visibility and Handling

Whether it is pallet wrapping or stretch wrapping, stretch film is used for easy visual inspection of the wrapped goods. This visibility is crucial for inventory management, quality control, and scanning barcodes or labels without the need for unwrapping. The film’s ability to hold items tightly together also facilitates safer and more efficient material-handling operations.

Choose the Right Lantech Stretch Wrapping Machine for Your Business

Semi-Automatic Stretch Wrappers

Semi-automatic stretch wrapping machines are designed for operations handling moderate volumes. They require an operator to place the load and start the wrapping cycle, making them suitable for businesses that want to improve load security without fully automating the process. Explore our comprehensive range of equipment on our Home page.

Automatic Stretch Wrappers

Automatic stretch wrapping machines handle the entire wrapping cycle with minimal operator input. They are ideal for high-volume operations where efficiency, speed, and consistency are critical. Automatic models help streamline packaging lines and reduce labour costs. Learn more in our Company Profile about our track record in automation and material handling solutions.
