• Boxed top and bottom for support and strength.
• Stuctural steel tubing.
• Steel cross member reinforcements.
• ABS panels allow easy service access and will not rust or dent.

• Exposed components susceptible to damage and can cause operator injury.
• Maintenance access is difficult.

1. 48" diameter uerthane race provides broad balanced support.
   
2. Sealed-for-life bearings.

• No maintenance, no lubrication.
• Dependable belt drive.
• No metal-to-metal wear.
• Washdown capability.
  

1. Metal-to-metal contact of cam followers to steel turntable cause noise and high wear.
2. Chain and sprocket systems require proper lubrication and adjustment. Chain will sag and cause uneven wear of sprocket.
   

• 38" precision ring bearing for high speed / heavy duty applications (6000 lb loads).
• 38" slew bearing.
  

• Typically 20"-25" ring gear bearing.
• Smaller diameter bearing does not distribute weight of load effectively.
• 33" bearing on some high speed models.

Two Critical Factors:
• 180 degree film-to-roller contact during stretch process.
• Floating nip roller maintains 180 degree contact of film-to-rollers and prevents film slippage.
Result:
• Minmal neckdown of film web.
• Maximizes film stretch percentage.
• Eliminates film slippage across the stretch rollers.
• Neutralizes film breaks.
• Provides lowest film usage per load.

Inconsistent Control of Film Stretching:
• Film contact to rollers is less than 180 degrees.
• Nip roller not used to eliminate gaps between rollers.
• Fixed nip roller does not engage pre-stretch roller for optimal film control.
Result:
• Film slips across rollers reducing potential stretch level.
• 3" - 5" of neckdown is common.
• Uneven unitization of load from top to bottom.
• Film breaks are common.
• Cumulative result is higher packaging cost.

Lantech film clamps are designed to be overwrapped with film for optimum unitization at lowest cost.

• Captures film tail.
• Maximizes load containment.
• No film residue in clamp.
• Load arrives "as shipped".

Rigid scissors and jaw-style film clamps are seldom overwrapped with film, which produces high cost unitization.

• Film tails are loose and trailing.
• Load containment is uneven top to bottom.
• Loads will shift during transit causing product damage.

• No film build-up on hot wire.
• Wire temperature adjustable for film gauge and work area.

(1) Hot wire contacts film to cut, causing residue build-up.

• Unguarded hot wire is a burn hazard to operator and product.
• Film build-up on hot wire causes inconsistent film cling.

5 x 5 Biaxial Wrap
• Film overlaps clamp at start and finish of wrap cycle.
• Leading film tail secured in clamp during full wrap cycle.
• Leading film tail secured to load underneath bottom film wraps.

2 x 8 Wrap
• Film cannot overlap clamps because clamps cannot release from film.
• Film is released from clamp early in wrap cycle and high on the load so roll carriage can clear clamps.
• Film tail is released mid-air and not captured.

1. Easy to read controls precisely control key unitization factors.
2. Quick Reference Guide on machine includes Operating Instructions and Trouble Shooting Guide.

• Basic control package does not provide optimum load containment control.

• Q-1000 floor space available to operator to load film.
• Operator stands on floor.
• Roll carriage mounted on side of upright.
  

• Roll carriage mounted on front of upright.
• Operator stands on turntable to load film.
• Operator will lift 40 lb film roll above waist while standing on turntable.

• Only visual maintenance is needed.
• Easy to access all serviceable components.
• Lube lines for hard to reach elements.
• Periodic maintenance of ring bearing.
• Belt lift roll carriage.
• Belt driven wrap arm.
• Panels remove from mast for easy access.

1. Limited access to required service areas. Chain driven roll carriage and wrap arm must be continuously adjusted and lubricated.
2. Chain will sag and cause uneven wear of sprocket.
   

• Intelli-sensor™ photoeye sees all types of loads.
• Effortless overwrap adjustment.
  

• Mechanical load height sensing.
• Requires adjustment for varying load heights.
  

• Powered rollers are fully shielded from hands and clothing for safest operation.
• Pre-stretch rollers "powered" during wrap cycle only.

• Open" roll carriage design allows hands and clothing to snag in rollers.
• Pre-stretch rollers "powered" at all times.
  

• Counter-weighted roll carriage reduces cumulative downward force to less than half the weight of roll carriage.

• Chain driven roll carriage exerts downward force equal to weight of roll carriage plus downward force of chain drive.

1. Fencing with
2. interlock safety gate. Not an option.
3. Transition jam and wrap zone photoeyes.
4. Flow Direction.
   • Personnel barrier. Not an option.
   

• Safety fencing is an option.
• Stockade-style fencing allows easy access.
• Gates not always safely interlocked.
