Cousins 6100-65-CTA Conveyorized Automatic Pallet Wrapper
High-Speed Turntable Automation for Up to 65 Loads Per Hour
The Cousins 6100-65-CTA Conveyorized Automatic Pallet Wrapper is engineered for high-volume production lines that require consistent wrapping, automated product movement, and minimal operator involvement. Its integrated powered conveyors automatically index, center, wrap, and transfer pallet loads through the system.
With production speeds of up to 65 loads per hour, the 6100-65-CTA combines a powered conveyorized turntable, automatic film handling, advanced PLC controls, and the Cousins Super Rapid Thread II™ pre-stretch carriage. As a result, manufacturers can improve throughput while maintaining repeatable film tension and load containment.
Automatic film clamping, cutting, and wiping eliminate manual film attachment at the beginning and end of each cycle. In addition, broken-film detection and adjustable wrapping controls help reduce interruptions and maintain consistent production flow.

Why Choose the Cousins 6100-65-CTA?
High-Volume Production
The system can process up to 65 loads per hour, depending on load dimensions, wrap settings, and material flow. Therefore, it is well suited for demanding production and distribution environments.
Fully Automatic Film Handling
Pneumatic film clamping, automatic film-tail cutting, and the powered wiping arm complete each wrapping cycle without manual film handling.
Integrated Powered Conveyors
The standard system includes powered infeed, turntable, and exit conveyor sections. Consequently, pallet loads can move through the complete wrapping process automatically.
Consistent Load Containment
Electronic film-tension control, programmable wrap settings, and powered pre-stretch help apply film consistently across different pallet loads.
Reduced Film Interruptions
The film-delivery system incorporates dynamic corner compensation, broken-film detection, and adjustable pre-stretch ratios designed to reduce film breaks and unnecessary downtime.
Production-Line Integration
PLC controls and EtherNet/IP communication provide the flexibility required for integration with upstream and downstream production equipment.

Conveyorized Turntable Wrapping for High-Volume Operations
Unlike an overhead rotary-arm system, the 6100-65-CTA rotates the pallet on a powered turntable while conveyors automatically move loads into and out of the wrapping zone. This configuration provides high throughput in a compact, controlled production-line layout.
For applications requiring a conveyorized system with Cousins’ patented A-Arm technology, consider the Cousins 3300-A Conveyorized A-Arm Automatic Pallet Wrapper.
