Weighing Stretch Wrapper

8/10/2008 - Accuweigh’s Melbourne branch recently modified a stretch wrapper to accept load cells and a digital weight indicator to enable the stretch wrapper to accurately weight wrapped pallets. The WSEP stretch wrapper conversion was done at the request of Contract Packaging Systems in Thomastown.

As most stretch wrappers have a substantial base, the task of fitting load cells is usually not too difficult and the stretch wrapper conversion only requires custom mounting brackets for the load cells to be attached. The Salter Prodec load cells used are ideal for this application as they are extremely resilient to damage by rotational forces which can occur in stretch wrapping operations.

The “weighing” stretch wrapper saves considerable time and effort by eliminating the need for the wrapped palled to be transported to a set of platform scales for a separate weighing operation. The weight of the loaded pallet is clearly displayed by the digital weight indicator attached to the mast of the stretch wrapper.

The Rinstrum 2100 digital weight indicator has a large 27mm LCD display with bright backlighting to ensure high visibility in all lighting conditions. Optional printers are available for printing weight tickets or for product reporting purposes including logging of all throughput.

Accuweigh is Australia’s largest industrial weighing company and has branches in all mainland states for the convenience of national clients.
