Description
Signode Octopus T Series Automatic Rotary Ring Stretch Wrapper
The Octopus T Series stretch wrapper is developed for high-speed production lines within industries such as food & beverage, construction and tissue. Equipped with a double film carriage and seaming unit, both film carriages apply film simultaneously or independently resulting in high speed wrapping. In combination with a Fast Cycle conveyor solution (optional) it is possible to reduce conveying time in half. Due to the increased line speed, floor space can be used more efficiently for single line use.
Features and Benefits
- Provides unmatched flexibility
The Octopus “T” can be equipped with various automatic reel change systems. The RCS II (Reel Change System) automatically replaces either of two reels in the machine. When the machine senses a lack of film or a film breakage, a new film cassette is fed automatically into the machine without operator invention, resulting in increased line productivity. Standing outside the safety fences, the operator can load a new film reel onto the RCS cassette while the machine is still operating. - Optimizes film usage
A key advantage of the “S” film carriage system is the ability to automatically modify film tension levels during a wrap cycle and focus film tension forces at key areas of a pallet load. Based on type of primary packaging, weight of the load, nature of the primary package, and the transport distance of the load, each wrapping pattern will apply top wraps, bottom wraps and film overlaps with individual force to load tensions for improved load containment
Additional Standard Features
- No Touch-No Tail (NT²) seamer offers high-quality, low-maintenance seaming without touching the load
Options
- Load stabilizer: Ensures unstable loads remain intact throughout the wrapping cycle
- Integrated top sheet dispenser: Provides automatic weatherproofing without taking up floor space
- Corner post device (CPD): Inserts four solid corner posts at the corners of the load
- Reel change system (RCS): Changes the reels of stretch film without manual intervention, saving time and money
- Lay on force control: Maximizes production efficiency
- Top sheet reel lift: Descends to floor level for easy loading
Technical info
Octopus_T_Series_tootelehtRoping is an additional option to form 500 mm wide film a strong 10 mm wide film rope to tie the products to the pallet. The use of a roping increases the overall stability of the pallet transport, reduces the amount of film used for wrapping in the middle and at the top of the pallet and avoids tearing of the film during repeated loading. Highly desirable in the case of heavy cargo pallets.
Flexi Rope - the Flexi rope option allows to form a  500 mm wide film into the 10 - 300 mm wide edge reinforced film . This makes possible to increase the transport stability of the load by reinforcing the different parts of the pallet. For products requiring rapid cooling as well as to prevent damage to boxes, labels due to condensation. Recommended for fruit and vegetable bases as well as dairy pallets.
CPD- Octopus corner protectors are placed under the wrapping  film  on all corners of the pallet. This significantly increases the stability and transportability of the pallets.
