ITW Muller's 87M Yellow Jacket Orbital Stretch Wrapper
ITW Muller highlighted its 87M Yellow Jacket Orbital at FABTECH 2013.
"From complex fabrications to heavy metal parts and assemblies, the machine was literally built to solve a market need to efficiently wrap otherwise impossible loads," said Michael Klear, Sales and Marketing Director, ITW Muller. "It does that and more."
The Orbital wrapper is designed for securing oversized, oddly shaped, palletized loads while the pallet remains on the forklift. Yellow Jacket's customers have reported anywhere from $20,000 - $50,000 saved annually in labor costs alone. "Factor in the increase in product integrity, reduction in material use and other hidden costs, and the savings only increase," said a company spokesperson.
The 87M is a horizontally positioned stretch wrap machine that moves around and under a load as the Yellow Jacket is manually advanced across the length of the load. Typically it takes two workers roughly 10 minutes to wrap a load by hand. According to the company, the Yellow Jacket can wrap a similar load with one worker in one minute. Yellow Jacket also eliminates the need for other strapping materials or expensive cartons to secure loads. "Tightly wrapped to the pallet, the load's ability to shift, fall or slide in transit is nearly impossible," said the spokesperson.
Yellow Jacket's Orbital Stretch Wrap is available in manual or semi-automatic. The 87M requires a footprint of around 8' x 9' and runs on 110 VAC. It wraps a standard pallet size up to 68" diagonal.
