Orbital Stretch Wrapping Machines

We provide a semi-automatic and manual unit of the Yellow Jacket orbital wrapping machine.

The horizontally positioned stretch wrap dispenser moves around and under the load as the Yellow Jacket wrapper is moved across the length of the load.

This process significantly cuts down on the time it takes to wrap a load by hand. Two workers will take about 10 minutes to wrap a load by hand. With the Yellow Jacket wrapping machine, one worker can wrap a similar load in 1 minute depending on the number of required film revolutions. This creates a reduction of labor costs. The Yellow Jacket orbital wrapper can also eliminate the need for other strapping materials and expensive cartons to secure loads, as the tight wrap helps to prevent the load from shifting, falling, or sliding in transit. By tightly wrapping film to the pallet, the load’s ability to shift, fall, or slide in transit is prevented.

Features and Benefits

  • Film tension can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment knob of the brake roller for improved load stability 
  • Full control of where to start and stop the wrapping cycle 
  • Machine can run up to 20 revolutions per minute 
  • Available as a semi-automatic or a manual model 

Semi-Automatic Unit 

  • Operator controls the wrapping process and all machine functions from the seat of the forklift 
  • Joystick remote control allows for ease of use
