Name: Automatic Rotary Arm Stretch Wrapper
Brand: Wulftec
SKU: 72686488
Availability: InStock

A conveyorized, fully automatic rotary arm high-speed stretch wrapper. Wulftec automatic stretch wrappers maximize throughput and efficiency: they take care of everything, the operator only changes the roll of film, and they save significant time and money. The WCRT-200 can keep up with even the most demanding production rates, can wrap almost anything and is ideal for very light, very heavy, tall or unstable loads, and great in wash-down and dusty applications.

The best warranties in the industry

3-year unlimited cycle warranty, lifetime warranty on pre-stretch rollers and 10 years on the steel structure and ring gear.

Angled carriage with very low wrap possibility

With very low wrap possibility, the product is properly secured to the pallet, resulting in a pallet that is more stable for transport and therefore less damage.

Heavy-duty steel structuresFor rugged performance, even in the harshest work environments. They are built to last forever.
4-legged designFor maximum stability at high speed.
25″ ring gear with pinion gear driveProvides the strongest drive in the industry and is warranted for 10 years.
Dual chain drivenFor balanced movement and no vibration.
Heavy-duty conveyorsSecond to none in the industry.
“Maintenance Free” spring-loaded carriage gateSpring-loaded rollers ensure optimal contact with the stretch film year after year, without involving maintenance.
Lifetime warranty on the pre-stretch rollers’ blue compoundWulftec is the only manufacturer to offer it.
50% to 300% pre-stretch ratioPreset to customer spec, standard 250%; capability up to 400% depending on film type.
No film threading requiredA Lexan cover eliminates the operator’s ability to reach the rollers when the gate is closed.
Revolutionary drop away clampEnsures clean film release from the pallet load.
Splash proof program with the top cover pause
Non-proprietary partsAccessible on a local base.

Pneumatically operated cut and wipe-on system

Automatically cuts and wipes the film onto the load upon cycle end. A vertical roller positions the film over the clamp, which grabs the film, ensuring longer heat wire life expectancy. The heat wire then swings in and cuts the film. A timed impulse heat control allows quick cool down, so the heat wire becomes cold to the touch within 5 seconds.
