Fully automatic rotary arm wrapper for palletized loads

Enhance load stability in your packaging processes with a low-speed, fully automatic rotary arm wrapper designed to ensure secure and efficient wrapping of delicate and unstable products, optimizing your production lines and reducing potential product damage during transport.

The HELIX 1 EVO by OCME is a fully automatic rotary arm stretch wrapper tailored for industries such as beverage, food, personal care, paper, and lubricants. This machine is engineered for securing and stabilizing palletized loads by using a rotating arm that wraps stretch film with the load stationary, minimizing the risk of load shifting. It is particularly effective in environments requiring high throughput, with an output capacity of up to 65 pallets per hour.

The HELIX 1 EVO integrates seamlessly into packaging lines, offering an intuitive Robopac HMI for easy operation and setup. Its modular design allows for efficient upgrades and fast installation, ensuring minimal disruption to existing processes. The machine is energy-efficient, featuring Cube Technology with pre-stretch capabilities from 0% to 400%, reducing film consumption and operative costs. Maintenance is streamlined with features such as the easy lock system and tool-free sealer part changeover.

Applications extend across a range of products, including bottled water, snack foods, and cardboard boxes, with the ability to handle pallet sizes up to 1900×1900 mm. For enhanced functionality, options like the vertical pressure platen and top inside cover device provide added load stability and protection. The equipment also features an innovative film consumption measurement kit, ensuring efficient use of materials.

Designed with hygiene in mind, it has a smooth surface for effective cleaning, complying with industry standards for cleanliness and operational efficiency. Optional customization, such as pneumatic or hydraulic drives and various clamping mechanisms, allows the HELIX 1 EVO to meet specific operational demands, supported by OCME’s ongoing engineering and integration assistance.
