Conventional Automatic
Turntable Series (Raptor) and
Rotary Arm Series (Cobra) Stretch Wrappers
|
Rotary Tower Automatic, Cobra
1525
The unique rotating arm of the Cobra 1500
represents yet another way to effectively wrap loads without
spinning them on a turntable. This method of wrapping
is especially useful when wrapping light loads, fragile
loads, or any load which might fall apart if spun on a
turntable. The Cobra 1500 is available in a wide range
of prices and capabilities and offers several options
to meet even the most challanging stretch packaging operations.
|
|
| Turntable Automatic, Raptor
1525
For customers who prefer a traditional turntable style
stretch wrapping machine, the Raptor 1500 offers reliability
and efficiency. The Raptor 1500 is designed and built
for long service life and low maintenance operation. Heavy
gauge steel, ring gear drive systems and PLC controls
are just a few of the features that makes the Raptor 1500
the most rugged turntable wrapper in the industry.
