Orbital Wrapper manufacturer introduces Hot Wire Cutting System to eliminate blade maintenance
Orbital wrapper manufacturer TAB Industries, LLC, Reading, Pa., has introduced a Hot Wire Cutting System for its TAB Wrapper Tornado line of orbital wrapping machines. Offered as an option, the new Hot Wire Cutting System features proprietary technology that automatically cuts the end of the stretch wrap after pallet wrapping by drawing a heated metal wire through the plastic film, then safely conceals the wire for quick cooling. The new design replaces the standard design that uses a blade, eliminating the need for sharpening and replacement along with a potential safety hazard while ensuring a clean cut every time.
To be introduced at FABTECH booth #A-5142 in Chicago, Ill. on Sept. 11, 2023 on the latest TAB Wrapper Tornado orbital stretch wrapper model, the Hot Wire Cutting System is available on all of the company’s standard, semi-automated, and fully automated orbital wrappers. The automated device is also available for retrofit on wrapping machines in the field.
The TAB Wrapper Tornado orbital wrapping machines apply stretch wrap 360 degrees around and under the pallet and load to create a stable, unitized load that eliminates the need for boxes, crates, and banding. The patented stretch wrapping machines and Hot Wire Cutting System are designed and manufactured at the company’s Reading, Pa. headquarters and delivered with a full warranty.
