Lantech Stretch Wrapper Technology Promotes Higher Productivity

Lantech's Q-300XT stretch wrapping machine improves operator friendliness with a larger load-placement window for its automatic film cut-and-clamp system



Lantech's Q-300XT stretch wrapping machine improves operator friendliness with a larger load-placement window for its automatic film cut-and-clamp system. Designed to eliminate fork-driver dismounts, the patented XT film cut-and-clamp system features space-age composite parts and allows a generous 10-inch offset for most loads, while providing automatic attachment of the film to the load and cutting of the film upon completion of the wrap cycle. The fully guarded cut/clamp system flips up for easy cleaning. The new-design cut/clamp module is standard on all XTequipped Lantech machines, and a retrofit kit for existing machines with the XT cut and clamp module will be available for select models.

The Q-300XT stretch wrapper allows the fork truck operator to simply drive up, position the pallet on the turntable, start the machine with a lanyard switch or a wireless Click-n-Go  remote, and drive away – without ever getting off the fork truck. Simple Automation  of the Q-300XT reduces wear and tear on fork truck operators and equipment. The higher efficiency can free up fork trucks for other uses or possibly eliminate some equipment and the associated operating costs.

The Q-300XT wraps loads up to 80" (2 m) tall and weighing up to 4000 lb (1814 kg). Themachine's electronically controlled, variable wrap force and 200% pre-stretch on the film ensure consistent, tight loads with economical use of film, reduced labor and improved ergonomics. Film pre-stretch up to 300% is available. The stretch wrapper is easy to operate with a touch panel control, featuring color-coded operating functions for quick, clear identification. And, the entire system is backed by a full three-year, unlimited-cycle, all-component warranty.
