The Highlight Heavy Duty Handwrapper
Models HD1218-300, HD1218-225-300, & HD1820-300
Precise tension control
for maximum stretch and economy.
Modern casting, machining and design principles have
produced a handwrapper which works extremely smoothly to wrap your
palletized loads tightly, efficiently and economically.
Care in four key areas make the Highlight Handwrapper your
best way to apply film by hand.
1) Cast flat zinc base gives smooth film stretch.
Zinc casting has an accuracy and flatness which cannot be matched by welded
steel. The high strength zinc/manganese/aluminum/copper alloy of the cast
Highlight base won't chip, dent or bend (as steel can). It is surface ground
flat (±.005") totally eliminating any "flat tire" effect on the roll
which can cause uneven wrap and wasted film. Highlight's broad base resists
tipover minimizing nicks and cuts which cause film tears. The base's cast
web design adds support to stress areas while removing excess metal, keeping
the entire wrapper weighing only 3.5 lbs. Its light weight will be
appreciated over a long day of wrapping.
2) Handle designed for comfort, press fit for lifetime
use. The Highlight handle is bent on a 33° angle to make it easier to
wrap the bottom row of boxes on a pallet. It also allows a grip nearer the
center of gravity for less worker fatigue over an entire day. To further
minimize fatigue, the handle is covered with a cushion foam grip. The handle
is press fit to the base under three tons of pressure. The tubing actually
tightens on-half to one thousandth so it literally can't move side to side.
A roll pin across the diameter acts as a safety check to prevent any chance
of slipping vertically.
3) Bottom core holder delivers smooth film stretch.
The bottom core holder receives all the weight and pressure during
wrapping. It must operate smoothly. The Highlight bottom core holder is zinc
cast in a cavity/web design for strength with lightness, and a DuPont Vespel
ring provides a slippery, dry surface for the core to ride on. This smooth
Vespel riding on the smooth wrapper base assures the best possible film
stretch.
4) Top Tension control assembly keeps stretch constant,
offers a range of adjustments. This entire assembly has been designed
for precise operation. Once the core holder is engaged, there is 1˝ turns of
knob adjustment between free roll and maximum stretch. Six quarter-turns
give you a full and graduated measure of film stretch. For extra strength
the threaded shaft has twice the three-eighths inch engagement needed to
prevent stripped threads. It has strength, control and precision so you can
wrap your loads securely and economically. |
