The Flex CTS eliminates the need for an operator to attach and cut the stretch film and eliminates time-loss from forklift drivers watching loads being wrapped. Simply place the pallet-load on the Turntable via forklift, and pull a lanyard switch while backing away. The machine will wrap the load as you have pre-determined it to do, automatically adapting to the load size and shape (within machine specifications). At end of the wrap cycle the load will be conveyed onto the exit pick-up conveyor section, freeing the turntable to receive another load.

The film is pre-stretched (elongated) at 260% which "processes" the stretch film for maximum linear strength and load retention, while reducing material cost. Film Force-to-Load control is automatic, performing like cruise-control so the film constantly adapts to the load shape, size and machine operating speed, resulting in minimal film breaks at maximum stretch. Bottom line...Properly wrapped loads for reduced shipping damage and reduced material cost.

Functionality, uptime and safe interaction are all critical to your operation! The Orion Flex series designs include many standard features to enhance the machine's performance, uptime and safe operator interaction (often options with competitive models).

1. The load is brought to Flex CTS stretch wrapper and placed on the conveyorized turntable, while backing away, operator pulls a lanyard or uses the optional Orion remote controller to start the wrapping cycle.
2. The operator is free to attend to other tasks such as getting the next pallet load to be wrapped.
3. When he returns, the wrapped load has been automatically moved to the gravity conveyor section. He is then free to place the unwrapped load on the turntable and signal the machine to start wrapping.
4. Next he picks up the wrapped load from the gravity conveyor and takes it away.
