Pallet Stretch Film and the Synthesi XF-3110 Friction Brake Wrapper

Pallet Stretch Film and the Synthesi XF-3110 Friction Brake Wrapper

In this video, we showcase the Synthesi XF-3110 friction brake pallet wrapper in action, wrapping a standard pallet load with speed, precision, and minimal effort. Filmed at our headquarters in Melbourne Australia MPS is a importer of Pallet wrapping equipment and Stretch film.  This demonstration highlights the capabilities of MPS Packaging Australia’s range of pallet wrapping solutions, designed to meet diverse industrial packaging needs.


Our Range of Pallet Wrappers

At MPS, we offer a comprehensive selection of pallet wrappers, from semi-automatic mobile units to fully automated stretch wrapping machines. Whether you need a Mobile wrapper like the Marathon, An orbital wrapper such as the LETT series, or a high-speed friction brake wrapper like the Synthesi XF-3110, we provide solutions that increase efficiency, reduce labour, and improve load stability.

What is a Friction Brake Pallet Wrapper?

A friction brake pallet wrapper is a type of semi-automatic stretch wrapper where the film roll is fitted with a friction brake system. The operator controls the tension by adjusting the brake, allowing the stretch film to pull tight around the pallet. This system ensures uniform, tightly wrapped loads without the need for complex electronic tensioning. The Synthesi XF-3110 takes this a step further with automated height detection, so the machine senses the pallet height and adjusts wrapping automatically for optimal coverage.

High-Quality Stretch Film from MPS

The performance of any pallet wrapper depends heavily on the quality of the stretch film. In the video, the Synthesi XF-3110 demonstrates how tightly the pallet can be wrapped thanks to MPS high-quality stretch film, which grips securely and protects loads during transport. Our latest HAX925 film is particularly noteworthy. It allows for downgauging, meaning that the same load stability and protection can be achieved using a thinner film compared to traditional stretch films.

What is downgauging?
Downgauging is the practice of using thinner stretch film without compromising load security. This reduces material usage, lowers costs, and improves sustainability while maintaining the same level of protection. With films like HAX925, operators can wrap pallets more efficiently while using less film, making it a win-win for both cost savings and environmental impact. you can see in this photo how tight the film is and its only been on there moments. Stretch film will want to shrink back down after it has been stretched, so it will get tighter as the film stays on there. 

 

 

Automated Efficiency with the Synthesi XF-3110

The video clearly demonstrates the auto-height detection feature of the Synthesi XF-3110. Once the pallet is positioned, the machine senses its height and begins wrapping automatically. Combined with the friction brake system and high-quality MPS or Atlanta Stretch film, this allows operators to achieve tight, uniform, and professional wraps quickly and consistently.

Conclusion

The Synthesi XF-3110 friction brake pallet wrapper is an excellent solution for companies seeking semi-automatic wrapping with superior load stability. Coupled with high-quality MPS stretch film, including the new HAX925 downgauged option, businesses can reduce film usage, save costs, and improve sustainability — all while keeping pallets secure for storage and transport.
