We've just uploaded some fresh new video of the Lybra S Ayra, so here an updated blog post and info on our rotating arm machines. Pallet wrapping is an essential part of modern logistics, ensuring that products remain stable during storage and transport. Among the various types of pallet wrappers, rotating arm pallet wrappers stand out for their efficiency and adaptability, especially when dealing with heavy, unstable, or delicate products.
What is a Rotating Arm Pallet Wrapper?
A rotating arm pallet wrapper is a type of wrapping machine where the arm rotates around a stationary pallet, instead of the pallet rotating on a turntable. This design is particularly useful for products that are unstable, very heavy, or soft, which may not withstand rotation. With the arm moving around the pallet, these machines provide consistent, secure wrapping without risking product damage.
Benefits of a Rotating Arm Pallet Wrapper
Rotating arm wrappers offer several advantages over traditional turntable machines:
-
Gentle handling of delicate products: Soft or fragile items are less likely to topple.
-
Versatile load management: Capable of wrapping very heavy or unusually shaped pallets.
-
Advanced automation: Many models integrate intelligent systems to optimize wrapping and reduce waste such as the powered prestretch system.
The Lybra S: Intuitive Control with HMI Panel
The Lybra S takes user-friendliness to the next level. This rotating arm wrapper offers multiple start options, allowing operators to begin wrapping directly from the HMI panel, a pedestal podium, or even via a remote control. The HMI panel provides a clear, interactive interface that makes selecting programs, adjusting tension, or monitoring wrap cycles straightforward. This flexibility ensures smooth operation regardless of the operator’s experience level.
The Arya System: Remote Start and Automatic Cut
The Arya system enhances the Lybra S even further, adding advanced automation features. With Arya, operators can use remote start functionality, allowing the machine to begin wrapping without manual intervention at the panel. The system also includes automatic attach and auto cut off , ensuring the film is trimmed and secured perfectly every time. This combination of automation and convenience improves efficiency, reduces material waste, and minimizes the chance of errors.
The Importance of Using High-Quality Stretch Wrap
When using a rotating arm pallet wrapper, the quality of your stretch film is just as important as the machine itself. Unlike turntable wrappers, rotating arm systems operate at higher speeds and often feature powered prestretch systems, which stretch the film before applying it to the pallet. This ensures tight, consistent wrapping but also puts more stress on lower-quality films.
Using premium stretch wrap is essential for several reasons:
-
Enhanced load stability: High-quality films maintain tension better, keeping heavy or uneven loads secure during transport.
-
Reduced breakage: Cheaper films may tear or puncture under the high-speed wrapping and prestretching, causing downtime and wasted material.
-
Optimal film usage: Premium films stretch reliably, meaning fewer layers are needed to secure the pallet, saving both time and cost.
-
Improved protection: Superior films provide better resistance against dust, moisture, and UV exposure, keeping products safe throughout storage and transit.
Rotating arm pallet wrappers like the Lybra S, equipped with the Arya system, represent the future of industrial wrapping. They combine flexibility, automation, and safety, making them an excellent choice for warehouses, factories, and logistics centers looking to protect their products while streamlining operations.
