Columbia Machine has introduced the FLD2500-SW, a floor level infeed conventional palletizer equipped with a fully integrated stretch wrapper. The turntable-style stretch wrapper allows for concurrent “stack and wrap” load building. It features a dual hoist design combined with an electric overhead row pusher.
The incorporation of servo technology enables numerically controlled movement and positioning for both hoists, resulting in faster and more accurate machine operations. The FLD2500-SW is capable of palletizing and stretch wrapping a variety of package types, including unwrapped trays, high center of gravity (CG) cases, and film-only bundles.
Additional options include Smart Diagnostics with video playback for maintenance assistance, a servo-actuated touchless turning infeed for gentle package handling, display-ready case orienting, and various dispensers for slip sheets and tier sheets.
