In fact, in the real world of wrapping their meaning depends entirely on context.<\/p>\n<p>So we break down stretch wrapper output into three general categories by loads\/day:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"square-bullets\">\n<li>&lt;20<\/li>\n<li>20-100<\/li>\n<li>&gt;100<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Speed is different than automation<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Why does the industry conflate these two considerations?<\/p>\n<p>Sure, it\u2019s true that often to increase output speed it\u2019s necessary to automate functions both for efficiency and safety. But nowhere is it written that slower means more manual.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lantech.com\/r4\/xt-cut-and-clamp\/\">XT series<\/a>\u00a0of wrappers are \u201csemi-automatic\u201d according to industry terminology, but allow a driver to simply drop a pallet and hit a start-button; the machine takes it from there.<\/p>\n<p>And operations with WMS (warehouse management system) integrations may require integrated\/inline check weighing, automated labeling and load tracking functionality that require the inherent process controls of a linear automated line &#8211; even if they\u2019re only wrapping a relatively small number of loads\/day.<\/p>\n<p>And even \u201c50 loads\/day\u201d means different things to different companies. Two loads of high value product every hour from a three shift operation has very different production implications than the frantic presentation of 50 picked loads during 30 minutes of chaotic shipping at a distribution center.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Narrowing down the options<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To get you pointed in the right direction here are some quick guidelines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Less Than 20 Loads\/Day<\/strong><br \/>\nOur popular\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lantech.com\/r4\/explore-stretch-wrappers\/semi-automatic\/q-series\">Q Series turntable<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lantech.com\/r4\/\/explore-stretch-wrappers\/semi-automatic\/s-series\">S Series straddle wrappers<\/a>\u00a0are good places to start.

The choice often comes down to a company\u2019s growth and automation plans, and the philosophy on workplace environment.

They\u2019re appropriate for stand-alone wrapping such as on loading docks and in work cells. In many cases, they will adequately handle the volume assuming the flow of product is consistent over a shift or two although there is often an inherent limitation in the necessity to remove a completed pallet before placing another.<\/p>\n<p>For wrapping in-line with other processes or for operations that desire a system which will allow material handlers to stage loads for wrapping while removing completed loads (all while the stretch wrapper operated independently) the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lantech.com\/r4\/explore-stretch-wrappers\/automatic\/q-series\">Q Series turntable automatics<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lantech.com\/r4\/explore-stretch-wrappers\/automatic\/s-series\">S Series straddle automatics<\/a>\u00a0provide higher throughput capacity AND autonomous operation to enable maximum material handling efficiency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More Than 100 Loads\/Day<\/strong><br \/>\nOur highest speed wrappers include optimized versions of our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lantech.com\/r4\/explore-stretch-wrappers\/automatic\/s-series\">S Series straddle automatic wrappers<\/a>\u00a0and our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lantech.com\/r4\/\/explore-stretch-wrappers\/automatic\/rl-series\">Ring straddle<\/a>\u00a0models.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Meeting NET output requirements<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many CPG operations require much higher output speeds &#8211; and avoiding unplanned downtime is critical because of the cascading impact on manufacturing processes of end-of-line disruption.
