Pennsylvania-based Tab Industries LLC has introduced the Tab Wrapper Tornado line of orbital stretch wrapping machines. The machines can be fed from a chain, belt or roller conveyor.
Featuring a patent-pending design that keeps the wrapping ring stationary while the film is wrapped around a horizontal axis, the unit is suitable for packaging long products such as stainless steel or other metal beams, bars, pipes, rods and channels, wrapping continuously up to any length.
The machine handles loads that are loose, palletized or in cartons, in uniform or various sizes and in irregular shapes. When positioned at the end of a conveyor line, the unit eliminates the need to transfer products from a conveyor for staging or stretch wrapping.
