1100-S HIGH-PROFILE PALLET WRAPPER | FORKLIFT LOADING | 4,000-LB DYNAMIC CAPACITY | PROGRAMMABLE WRAP CYCLES
The 1100-S high-profile pallet wrapper is an affordable semi-automatic system for manufacturers, warehouses, and distribution operations that handle pallet loads with forklifts. Ameripak, a Cousins Packaging Master Distributor, offers the machine with experienced application support, programmable controls, and durable North American construction.
Because the high-profile configuration supports direct forklift handling, operators can place pallets onto the turntable without a pallet-jack loading ramp. As a result, facilities can simplify pallet movement while maintaining an open wrapping area.
Cousins Packaging builds the machine in North America with brand-name components and structural-steel construction. In addition, the LCD operator interface and three stored wrap programs provide capabilities often associated with more expensive pallet wrappers. The 1100-S can process up to 25 loads per hour, although actual production depends on load size, wrap settings, and forklift handling time.
Facilities comparing loading methods can review Ameripak’s guide to low-profile and high-profile pallet wrappers.
However, pallet loads must remain stable and properly centered throughout turntable rotation. Therefore, Ameripak should evaluate the load dimensions, weight distribution, product stability, and wrapping requirements before finalizing the machine configuration.
The high-profile configuration supports operations that use forklifts for pallet handling. Consequently, these facilities do not need to dedicate additional floor space to a pallet-jack loading ramp.
The manual caliper brake allows operators to adjust film tension for different pallet loads. Consequently, the 1100-S provides straightforward film control without the additional cost or complexity of powered pre-stretch technology.
However, customers focused on maximizing film extension and reducing film consumption may prefer the Cousins 2100-SRT high-profile pallet wrapper.
For example, operators can store one program for stable cartons, another for lightweight products, and a third for pallets requiring additional reinforcement. Moreover, separate top and bottom wrap counts allow operators to concentrate film where the load needs greater containment.
Because the machine requires only 10 amps of 115-volt single-phase power, many facilities can install it without specialized electrical infrastructure. However, facilities should still review the electrical supply and installation location before delivery.
Therefore, the 1100-S can withstand regular industrial use while maintaining accessible controls and operator safeguards.
First, a forklift operator places the pallet directly onto the turntable. Next, the operator attaches the stretch film to the pallet and selects the appropriate A, B, or C wrap program.
Once the automatic cycle begins, the turntable rotates while the film carriage travels along the tower. Meanwhile, the triple-beam photo eye detects the load height, including products with dark or reflective surfaces. The selected settings then control turntable speed, carriage movement, and the number of top and bottom wraps.
The manual caliper brake controls film tension throughout the cycle. Finally, the carriage returns to its starting position, and the turntable stops at its aligned location. The operator can then cut the film and remove the secured pallet with a forklift.
High-profile pallet wrappers work well in operations that rely on forklifts for pallet handling. Because forklifts place pallets directly onto the platform, the machine does not require a long loading ramp.
As a result, the wrapper may require less approach space than a low-profile model configured for pallet-jack loading. The open layout can also simplify forklift traffic around the wrapping area.
However, operations that regularly use manual or powered pallet jacks may prefer the Cousins 1100-S low-profile pallet wrapper. The correct configuration ultimately depends on the facility’s pallet-handling equipment and available floor space.
Hand wrapping often produces inconsistent film tension, wrap patterns, and load containment. In contrast, the 1100-S applies repeatable machine-controlled wrap cycles to each pallet.
Because the machine rotates the load and moves the film carriage automatically, operators no longer need to walk repeatedly around the pallet. As a result, the system can reduce physical effort while improving wrapping consistency.
Moreover, programmable top, bottom, and reinforcement settings help operations establish a repeatable wrapping process. Therefore, the 1100-S provides a practical step forward for facilities replacing manual pallet wrapping.
Ameripak is a Cousins Packaging Master Distributor, giving customers access to the Cousins equipment line with experienced application guidance and ongoing support. Instead of simply selecting a machine from a catalog, customers receive help matching the wrapper and available options to their products, pallet dimensions, loading methods, production volume, and containment goals.
As a result, customers can purchase with greater confidence that Ameripak has properly configured the equipment for their application. Moreover, Ameripak serves as a knowledgeable point of contact before, during, and after the purchase.
Advantages of purchasing Cousins equipment through Ameripak include:
Furthermore, Ameripak can support the complete wrapping application rather than supplying only the machine. Therefore, customers have one experienced resource for equipment, stretch film, parts, service, and future system improvements.
Available options may include:
Because applications differ, buyers should select options according to pallet dimensions, operating temperature, film or netting requirements, weighing needs, and production goals. Therefore, an application review can help prevent unnecessary features or an incomplete machine configuration.
The 1100-S high-profile pallet wrapper is well suited for:
For example, the programmable controls can accommodate stable boxed loads, mixed products, and pallets requiring additional reinforcement. Similarly, adjustable film tension helps operators match the wrapping force to different products.
The 1100-S combines forklift loading, programmable controls, simple film tensioning, and heavy-duty construction. Moreover, its three stored wrap programs make it easier to maintain consistent results across different products and operators.
In addition, available options allow the machine to address specialized environmental, weighing, film, and netting requirements. Overall, the Cousins 1100-S provides a practical and economical high-profile wrapping platform for operations focused on consistency, simplicity, and long-term value.
