Types of Stretch Film Produced by These Machines
The machine configuration determines the final product type:
Hand Stretch Film: Produced on thinner gauges (10-20 microns). The machine focuses on excellent clarity and comfortable hand-tear properties for manual wrapping.
Machine Stretch Film: Made for high-speed pallet wrapping machines. It is stronger, often on heavier gauges (15-25 microns), with consistent roll tension to prevent breaks during automated operation.
Pre-stretch Film: This is the most common and economical type. The machine’s built-in pre-stretch unit does the work, allowing end-users to stretch the film further (often over 250%) with minimal force, saving up to 50% on film usage.
Specialty Films: Advanced lines can produce:
UV-Resistant Film: For outdoor storage.
Colored or Printed Film: For branding or load identification.
Ventilated Film: For wrapping produce.
Multi-layer Co-extruded Film: By combining layers of different resins, manufacturers can create premium films with a balance of cling, strength, and tear resistance unattainable with single-layer films.
Investing in a high-quality machine from a reputable manufacturer like Wanding Machinery delivers:
Superior Film Quality: Consistent gauge, high clarity, excellent puncture resistance, and reliable cling performance.
Production Efficiency: High output speeds, continuous operation, and automated winding minimize downtime and labor costs.
Material Savings & Profitability: Precise gauge control and efficient pre-stretch technology reduce raw material consumption, directly boosting your profit margins.
Customization Flexibility: Ability to quickly switch production parameters to make different film types, widths, and thicknesses to meet diverse market demands.
Durability & ROI: Robust construction and reliable components ensure long service life, maximizing your return on investment.
