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.
