SRA-44P AUTOMATIC HORIZONTAL STRETCH WRAPPER | UP TO 30 FPM | CLAMP-CUT-SEAL AUTOMATION | POWERED CONVEYORS
Overall, the Ameripak SRA-44P automatic horizontal stretch wrapper provides a high-speed packaging solution for manufacturers requiring maximum throughput, consistent wrapping, and minimal operator involvement. Because the system accommodates products up to 40 inches wide, 6 inches high, and 50 feet long, it is ideal for panels, trim, roll-formed products, building materials, and long manufactured assemblies. In addition, it is part of Ameripak’s complete line of horizontal stretch wrappers for industrial packaging applications.
Meanwhile, powered infeed and exit conveyors move products continuously through the wrapping system at variable speeds up to 30 feet per minute. As a result, the SRA-44P can support demanding production schedules while reducing manual product handling.
In addition, automated film clamping, cutting, and heat sealing prepare the system for each wrapping cycle. Furthermore, broken-film detection alerts operators when the film supply is interrupted. Finally, synchronized conveyor controls and encoder-based load indexing help maintain accurate product movement and film placement.
Therefore, the SRA-44P can increase throughput, reduce labor requirements, and improve packaging consistency. Moreover, its non-proprietary PLC, HMI touchscreen, and open-architecture controls simplify operation, diagnostics, and future expansion. Consequently, the system provides a scalable packaging solution for high-volume industrial production.

Furthermore, the SRA-44P automatic horizontal stretch wrapper supports variable production speeds up to 30 feet per minute. Meanwhile, synchronized conveyors move products smoothly through the wrapping zone. As a result, the system can maintain high throughput while delivering repeatable film coverage.
In addition, the SRA-44P accommodates products up to 40 inches wide, 6 inches high, and 50 feet long. For example, the system can handle metal roofing panels, siding panels, trim, extrusions, and long fabricated assemblies.
Furthermore, the standard system supports products weighing up to 1,000 pounds per 5 feet of length. Consequently, it can manage a broad range of industrial building products and manufactured materials.
Moreover, a 2 HP AC motor with VFD control provides adjustable ring speeds from 1–100 RPM. Therefore, ring speed can be matched to conveyor movement, product dimensions, and the required wrap pattern.
In addition, the maintenance-friendly belt-driven system provides smooth ring rotation. Furthermore, a precision five-point support system guides the ring during continuous production.
Moreover, the SRA-44P accepts machine-grade stretch film up to 20 inches wide on a 3-inch core. Therefore, the system can use film gauges up to 2 mil for demanding containment and protection requirements.
In addition, adjustable film tension allows the application to be matched to the product. Consequently, the dual film delivery system can improve coverage while supporting efficient film use.
Furthermore, the pneumatic clamp automatically secures the film at the appropriate point in the cycle. As a result, the machine can begin wrapping without requiring an operator to attach the film manually.
Next, the automatic cutting system separates the film after the programmed wrap cycle. Finally, the heat-seal system secures the film tail and prepares the wrapper for the next product.
Moreover, the SRA-44P monitors the film during automatic operation. Therefore, a broken-film condition can trigger an alarm notification and alert the operator.
In addition, early detection can help prevent incompletely wrapped products from continuing through the packaging line. Consequently, operators can address film interruptions before they affect additional loads.
In addition, the standard system includes three powered infeed and three powered exit conveyor sections. As a result, the complete conveyor arrangement provides automated product transfer before, during, and after wrapping.
Furthermore, each conveyor section measures 18 feet long and provides an effective width of 46 inches. Meanwhile, variable-speed operation and a ¾ HP drive motor with gear reducer support speeds up to 30 feet per minute.
Moreover, the SRA-44P uses a non-proprietary PLC platform with an HMI touchscreen interface. Therefore, operators can select programs, adjust settings, view alarms, and monitor production from a central control point.
Control capabilities include:
Moreover, the enclosed wrapping zone separates operators from moving components. Therefore, interlocked doors stop operation when the guarded area is opened. In addition, audible and visual alerts communicate cycle status to nearby personnel. As a result, the safety system supports high-speed production while maintaining access for cleaning and service.
Consequently, the SRA-44P resets for the next product and supports continuous automatic operation.
Moreover, the conveyors, wrapper, and controls form one coordinated automated packaging system. Therefore, each component operates according to the programmed product-handling sequence. In addition, Ameripak can review the complete system against the requirements of the application. As a result, the final configuration can support the necessary throughput, wrap pattern, product flow, and safety requirements.
Because every high-speed application is different, an Ameripak sales engineer should review the final system arrangement. For example, this review should address product dimensions, weight, throughput, conveyor layout, wrap pattern, floor space, electrical service, and compressed-air availability.
In addition, Ameripak’s packaging engineering services can help evaluate line layout, product handling, automation requirements, and integration with existing equipment.
Moreover, the SRA-44P can be programmed around different product profiles and production requirements. Furthermore, automated operation makes it well suited to high-volume facilities seeking repeatable packaging with less manual handling. In addition, Ameripak’s metal packaging solutions for roll-forming operations provide additional guidance for panels, profiles, trim, and other long metal products.
Consequently, manufacturers can adapt the wrapping program to changing product requirements without disrupting overall production flow.
Common applications include:
Overall, the SRA-44P automatic horizontal stretch wrapper provides a dependable way to increase throughput, improve packaging consistency, and reduce manual wrapping requirements. As a result, its high-speed conveyors, programmable controls, automated film handling, large product capacity, and integrated safety systems make it a practical solution for demanding production environments.
In addition, Ameripak can evaluate your product and workflow, recommend the appropriate system arrangement, and configure the equipment around your production requirements. Furthermore, the open-architecture controls and expandable design allow the system to support future automation needs.
