Protecting palletized goods is essential, but not every solution fits all production environments. Here’s a quick comparison of three key technologies to help you choose the most suitable system:
Stretch Hooding leads in speed, handling up to 120 pallets/hour—ideal for high-volume lines.
Rotary Ring Wrapper handles up to 50 pallets/hour.
Turntable Wrapper suits lower output, up to 30 pallets/hour.
Stretch Hooding offers superior load stability and full protection against dust, humidity, and UV rays, making it ideal for outdoor storage. The other two provide solid indoor protection, depending on wrap layers and tension.
Stretch Hooding adapts well to irregular loads and allows for branded, pre-printed film—perfect for consumer-facing industries. The other systems are best for standard, uniform pallets.
The Turntable Wrapper is the most compact, suitable for limited-height spaces. Stretch Hooding requires more space but delivers advanced performance.
Conclusion
Choosing the right pallet protection system depends on your production volume, load characteristics, storage conditions, and brand visibility needs. While Stretch Hooding excels in speed, protection, and presentation, Rotary Ring and Turntable machines offer solid, space-efficient solutions for lower to medium production environments.
