Machine or Hand Stretch Film?

As we all know, due to the different weights, sizes and customization requirements of stretch film, it is mainly divided into two kinds: machine film and hand film. Then how should we choose the right one for us? Today I’ll tell you the difference between the two of them. https://baijiahao.baidu.com/s?id=1767851298154257509

Machine stretch film:

Machine stretch film is needed to cooperate with the help of rotary baler together. Firstly, we place the object to be wrapped in the middle of the turntable. In the second step, we need to start the turntable motor to drive the turntable to rotate and wrap the film naturally and evenly on the surface of the object. In the third step, we start the lift motor in order to drive the stretch film frame up and down, thus achieving the wrapping of the entire surface of the object up and down.

All in all, machine stretch film is more suitable for large packaging users. Also, because it is machine packaged, there is a higher demand for stretch and puncture resistance in machine films. In the production process of machine stretch film, polypropylene is mixed with metallocene, so machine film is slightly more expensive than hand film. However, machine stretch film reduces labour costs to a certain extent.

Hand stretch film:

Hand stretch film is used by a person to wrap dispersed products securely by hand to improve handling efficiency and avoid dispersion and loss. This type of packaging is simple stretch film packaging. The weight of hand stretch film is generally small. We first install the stretch film on the shelf or handheld, and then the worker hand holding the stretch film around the pallet rotating walk for packaging.

Hand stretch film is more fit for wrapping some small items, and the thickness of the film is 15-20 micron. The price will be lower than the machine stretch film, which is more cost-effective. But it is more labour intensive. Packaging speed is slower than machine film.

So in a word, both of stretch film have different requirements and different usage.

Hand stretch film only needs a hand-held unwinding frame with damping brake.One person hand-held wrap-around package, lightweight and flexible.Machine stretch film is suitable for batch packing, and should be equipped with winding machine with high production efficiency. The shape is uniform and beautiful, the packing quality is good and the speed is fast. The tensile strength of handmade stretch film is 1:2/3; the tensile strength of machine stretch film is up to 1:6.

Therefore, when you are buying, you must pick according to your own needs of the working conditions.
