3300-A Conveyorized A-Arm Automatic Pallet Wrapper

Fully Automatic | Conveyorized | Forklift Compatible

Flexible Conveyorized Automation

The 3300-A is a fully automatic conveyorized pallet wrapper that can be configured as a simple two-pallet system or expanded with additional conveyors to meet production needs.
It is designed to integrate with existing product flow and conveyor layouts — either in-line using interface relays/logic or off-line as a standalone system with wireless cycle start remote.
