The WCA-SMART™ a competitively-priced extra heavy duty ring-gear driven conveyorized turntable stretch wrapping system.
Our Automatic stretch wrappers maximize throughput and efficiency. They take care of everything; you only change the roll of film. An automatic stretch wrapper will save significant time and money.
Turntable stretch wrappers are ideal for wrapping stable loads of under 8,000 lbs. They are typically less expensive than rotary arm models and have a smaller footprint – a definite asset when space is at a premium.

- Our automatic turntable stretch wrappers wrap 2" from conveyor – guaranteeing the product is properly secured to the pallet, resulting in a pallet that is more stable for transport, and therefore less damage
- No film threading is required and a Lexan cover eliminates operator's ability to reach rollers when gate is closed
- The pneumatically operated cut and wipe-on system automatically cuts and wipes the film onto the load upon cycle end
- A vertical roller positions the film over the clamp which grabs the film; this ensures longer heat wire life expectancy
- Then the heat wire swings in and cuts the film
