SO WHAT MAKES THE A-ARM BETTER?
The film cut and tail treatment are done at the top of the load, not the bottom. The benefits are:
• Film tails do not drag on the floor getting caught in your material handling equipment.
• The load is stabilized sooner because the top is wrapped first.
• You can easily switch to a top banding only mode that reduces film cost per pallet.
We eliminated the clamp on the turntable. The benefits are:
• No constant clamp maintenance due to debris or operators hitting the clamp.
• Without the clamp, load placement on the turntable is not critical making it easier on the operator.
• No need for a power source for the turntable clamp such as an air knuckle or slip ring – reduces maintenance.
• The machine operates on 115V, 1PH electric only. No air requirement. No noisy compressors.
The A-Arm is three machines in one. Push a button and the machine will be in either:
• Fully Automatic mode that spirals down and up.
• Top Banding mode wraps just the top of the load to stabilize it for movement using less film.
• Semi-Automatic mode for "funky" loads that need operator assistance.
After years of monitoring many installations we are convinced that the new A-ARM technology offers these benefits compared to traditional clamp style machines:
• Increased cycle reliability because of the simple design.
• Operator friendly because there is no need to be worried about load placement on the turntable.
• Easier to maintain because there are no moving parts (clamps) or power source devices on the turntable.
• More portable without having the need for an air supply.
• Quieter than competitive models that require an air compressor.
