Pallet Shrink Wrapping Machines.- Pallet shrink wrapping involves wrapping the pallet in an over sized film and then shrinking by applying heat. The shrunk film so tightens around the pallet that it gives it maximum stability during the transport. The shrunk thermoplastic film also provides protection against moisture and dust during storage. These machines are as per the customer requirement in terms of the size of the pallet or product, speed and automation. Shrink hood applicator wraps the load in thermoplastic film in a reel. The film is first sealed at one end and laid open on the pallet. 5, record 1, English, - pallet%20shrink%20wrapper
