When Should You Replace Your Stretch Wrapper?

Outdated machinery slows down your operations and drains your resources. If you hold onto equipment past its prime, it can hold you and your business back. But how do you know when you should replace your stretch wrapper equipment? Read on to explore some of the key indicators of outdated equipment and learn when it’s the right time to let go and make the upgrade for your business.

You’re Wasting Film

As stretch wrapping machines age, their pre-stretch capabilities deteriorate. This is especially true for older machines that don’t feature today’s pre-stretch technology. You’ll want a machine with powerful pre-stretch technology to make your film go further and maintain the most cost-effective stretch wrapping process possible.

A new stretch wrapper from Robopac USA can pre-stretch film up to 250 percent, providing thousands of dollars in film savings over time. If your current machine is letting film go to waste with subpar pre-stretch capabilities, it’s time to make the switch.

Your Machines Slow Down Your Operators

Whether your team has to stop what they’re doing to make minor repairs or simply spend time manually placing loads or cutting film, it takes time out of their day. That’s time they could spend on other, more important responsibilities.

Replacing older equipment with automatic wrapping machine solutions removes the human element and creates a more seamless, efficient, and dependable wrapping process. This frees up labor for other tasks and keeps your product loads moving quickly through your workflow.

Your Equipment Takes Up Too Much Space

Are you looking for ways to optimize your facility layout? Is your current workflow taking up too much space, resulting in cluttered, stressful, and hazardous work environments? These are all signs that it’s time to replace your stretch wrapper with a more advanced and compact design. Whether you’re looking specifically for space-saving equipment with a smaller footprint or trying to consolidate multiple machines under a more powerful, fully automatic solution, upgrading helps you make the most of your space.
