OCTOPUS 1800/2300
The Octopus is fully automatic wrapping machine incorporating the latest technology. The reel of wrapping film is suspended from a ring and revolves around the pallet. The ring is raised and lowered according to the wrapping program. The pallet remains stationary, which makes the wrapping of “unstable” and “lightweight” products considerably easier. Additionally, there are no centrifugal forces to cause stress or strain on the load or on the equipment.

As the ring can be accurately positioned in the vertical director, wrapping can be started and finished at any height required. The Octopus wraps down to 5 cm of the floor or top of conveyor to ensure that the finished package is tight, strong and secure.

Due to the flexible frame construction, the Octopus is suitable for various pallet and conveyor heights. This adaptable frame together with optional equipment available, including pallet handling systems, makes every Octopus an efficient machine able to meet demanding customer requirements.
