Whether loads are loose, palletized or in cartons, in uniform or various sizes, or in irregular shapes, the Wrapper Tornado machines, when positioned in or at the end of a conveyor line, eliminate the need to transfer products from a conveyor for staging or stretch-wrapping, while reduc- ing the risk of product damage due to han- dling and saving time and labor. They wrap plastic stretch film 360 deg. around and under an entire load in 1 min. or less—including the pallet, if desired—to cre- ate a single, unitized, secure load safe from the elements.
