FT324 Safe, quick and easy-to-use... the new Haloila Easy Load Top Sheet Device for Octopus stretch wrapping machines to protect pallet loads against dust and water was showcased at the interpack 2017 exhibition in Dusseldorf this year. Haloila, part of the Signode Industrial Group, has introduced a new Easy Load Top Sheet Device for its Octopus stretch wrapping machine series. Increased automation has continuously introduced new innovations to the product range, improving the machines’ efficiency and ease of use. Safe, reliable and usable are key targets for the development, and Haloila has invested a lot in them. “Safety is extremely important for Haloila, and for our customers,” general manager Jari Paavola says. ”By using the new Easy Load Top Sheet device, the operator can complete the top sheet loading by standing on a platform integrated to the sheet reel lifter. The reel change is quick and safe to do as there is no need to go inside the machine. The older Octopus models can easily be upgraded with the new Easy Load Top Sheet Device.” When the top film ends, the top film holder moves automatically to the loading position. The top sheet film reel change is even easier than before...the leading end of the top sheet is just pulled according to the threading scheme and locked in a specific holder. Therefore, the needed time for the reel change is also shorter, compared to the previously used system. With the integrated top sheet device, dust and splash-proof wrapping is achieved for a pallet load. The top film is not pulled against the product, which might reduce reliability. The top sheet is accurately positioned in a correct place and the load stabiliser is equipped with a top film blow down unit to improve the packaging quality, Paavola says. ”At the same time, when the wrapping cycle continues, the top film blowing unit blows air from four sides, making sure that the top film will turn under the stretch film.” With more than 40 years of history, Haloila is a leading global supplier of automatic stretch wrapping machines and services. The globally recognised Octopus pallet wrapping ring systems are now available through Signode New Zealand. www.signode.co.nz
