Automatic Stretch Wrap Machine SMARTWRAP X20 2000kg

SMARTWRAP X20 fully automatic pallet wrapper

SMARTWRAP X20 is a fully automatic pallet wrapper: the pallet is driven onto the turntable, the operator presses one button – on the machine or on the remote control – and the machine holds the film, wraps the load, cuts the film with a hot wire and lays the end onto the pallet by itself. Nobody has to attach the film at the start or cut it at the end.

It wraps pallets up to 2000 kg on a 1800 mm turntable (2000 mm on request), up to a height of 2350 mm (2800 or 3200 mm on request), at a rate of 30 to 40 pallets an hour.

The SMARTWRAP X20 is equipped with a powered pre-stretch film carriage, which allows the operator to use stretch film rolls between 12 and 35 micron thick, up to 500 mm wide as standard, and up to 15 kg in weight. The film is threaded through the pre-stretch rollers before operation, and the carriage speed can be set between 1.5 and 5.5 metres per minute. The machine accepts film rolls with a 76 mm core, with a 50 mm core available on request.

Operators select the wrapping program on the X-LINE 7-inch touch screen, where they can adjust the number of wraps at the top, middle and bottom, the turntable and carriage speeds and the wrapping force. The force can be set firm for a heavy, well-built pallet and gentler for a light or unstable load, so that the film does not pull it apart. Before each cycle, the operator checks that the film is threaded correctly.

The powered film carriage stretches the film 300 % before it goes on the load, one metre of film becomes three, so a roll covers three times as much and the film holds the load under even tension. A photocell measures the height of each pallet, so the film is not wrapped above the load.

At the bottom the machine narrows the film into a rope that ties the load to the pallet – the load does not shift on a lorry, and a forklift that catches the bottom film does not tear through it. At least ten wrapping programs are stored in the machine, and a LED light shows its state: blue ready, green working, red alarm. It runs on single-phase 220–240 V, 1.5 kW, and weighs 750 kg.

Where the SMARTWRAP X20 fits in

The SMARTWRAP X20 fully automatic pallet wrapper is used in manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing environments where high throughput and consistent load security are required. It is suitable for wrapping pallets of cartons, bags, drums, or mixed goods that need to be stabilized for transport or storage. The machine is often placed at the end of a packing or production line or in a dispatch area.

This wrapper is chosen for operations that handle large volumes of pallets per shift, especially where loads vary in size, shape, or stability.

Operators should monitor the film roll supply, check that the film is threaded correctly, and ensure the area around the turntable is clear before starting a cycle.

What the pallet wrapper does for your dispatch

• Nobody touches the film. The machine holds the film, cuts it with a hot wire and lays the end onto the load, so the operator drives the pallet on, presses start and drives it off.
• 300 % pre-stretch. One metre of film becomes three, so a roll goes three times as far and the load is held under even tension.
• 30 to 40 pallets an hour. Measured on a pallet of 1 × 1.2 × 1.8 m wrapped with two layers. Enough for a dispatch bay that works all day.
• Ten programs, one button. Light loads, heavy loads and unstable loads each get their own program; the operator only picks it.
• It measures the load itself. A photocell finds the top of the pallet, so film is not wasted above it.
• Parts you can service. SIEMENS control, SICK sensors, OMRON relays and a GPG motor. Standard industrial parts, not a closed box.

• Automatic load height measuring with a photocell
• Pallet grip system included
• X-LINE 7-inch touch screen, SIEMENS PLC and inverter, SICK sensors
• Soft start and stop, safety belt inside the column, CE
• 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz, single phase, 1.5 kW; compressed air for the film clamp and the cutter

Choosing and using the SMARTWRAP X20

Common mistakes include using film rolls outside the specified range, overloading the turntable, or running the machine without a clear area around it. To avoid downtime, keep the machine clean, replace worn film rolls promptly, and follow the maintenance schedule for moving parts and safety features. If wrapping unstable or irregular loads, select or adjust the program to apply extra wraps at the top or bottom as needed.

How to use the SMARTWRAP X20 pallet wrapper

1. Put the roll of stretch film on the carriage and thread the film through the pre-stretch rollers.
2. Choose the program on the touch screen, or set the number of wraps, the turntable speed, the carriage speed and the wrapping force for this load.
3. Drive the pallet onto the turntable with a forklift or a pallet truck.
4. Press start, on the machine or on the remote control. The machine holds the film, wraps the load from the bottom to the top and back, ropes the film at the bottom, cuts it with a hot wire and lays the end onto the load.
5. Drive the pallet off and put the next one on; a ramp is available for pallet trucks.

Settings and maintenance

• Programs. At least ten programs are stored in the machine: wraps at the bottom, in the middle and at the top, turntable and carriage speed, wrapping force.
• Wrapping force. Adjustable: firm on a heavy, well-built pallet, gentler on a light or unstable load so the film does not pull it apart.
• Film. Stretch film 500 mm wide (750 mm on request) and 12–35 micron thick, rolls up to 250 mm across and 15 kg, on a 76 mm core (50 mm on request).
• Pallet grip. At the bottom the film is narrowed into a rope that holds the pallet and the goods together; it is part of every machine and needs no setting.
• Maintenance. Switch the machine off before any work. Keep the turntable, the rollers and the hot-wire cutter free of film, and check the safety belt inside the column.

Before you order a pallet wrapper

The price is shown on this page. A few details decide whether this machine suits your dispatch: check them before you ask for a quote, or send them to us and we will go through them with you.

• Pallet size and weight. Turntable 1800 mm as standard (2000 mm on request) and loads up to 2000 kg.
• Load height. Up to 2350 mm as standard; 2800 or 3200 mm on request.
• Film. Stretch film 500 mm wide and 12–35 micron thick on a 76 mm core; the machine stretches it 300 % by itself.
• Power and air. 220–240 V, 50/60 Hz, single phase, 1.5 kW. An ordinary socket. The film clamp and the cutting arm work with compressed air, so the machine needs an air supply.
• Space and options. With the 1800 mm turntable the machine measures 2795 × 1800 × 2730 mm and weighs 750 kg; it ships in a crate of 2.9 × 1.95 × 0.95 m, 6 m³. A ramp for pallet trucks and a weighing scale are available.
