A turntable kind pallet stretch wrapping machine contains a body, a pulley or hub rotatably installed on the frame, a turntable installed on the center, a vertically movably film dispensing assemblage, plus a generate device for turning the center. The structure involves rollers that rotatably support the under top of the turntable for rotation relative to the film dispensing assemblage. A jam-packed pallet that is usually to be wrapped with film is put around the turntable. The loaded pallet is rotated about a generally vertical axis by rotating the turntable with the drive mechanism. The jam-packed pallet is significantly wrapped circumferentially and up and down, i.e. spirally, by film delivered from a vertically movable roll of film of your film dispensing assemblage.

A filled pallet is normally placed on the turntable using a forklift or pallet jack. If the filled pallet is not brought up into a sufficient level with the proprietor of the forklift or pallet jack as the filled pallet is being placed within the turntable, the edge in the pallet can strike the edge from the turntable, which could trigger plastic deformation, i.e. long lasting bending, in the shaft that rotatably mounts the center for the structure, hence needing repair. The edge of the turntable may also be smacked by other physical objects or models stumbled upon in a normal warehouse environment that could cause long lasting bending in the shaft. For instance, the edge of the turntable might be struck by the tines of the fork pickup truck or pallet jack, the mast of the fork vehicle, or even by an unpalletized fill alone.

One more issues associated with setting the loaded pallet with the turntable is accurately positioning the pallet in the center of the turntable. If the loaded pallet is placed on the turntable offset from the rotational axis of the turntable, the weight of the loaded pallet will not be evenly supported by the turntable rollers. Even if the loaded pallet is placed in the center of the turntable, if the load is not evenly distributed on the pallet the same situation can occur. If the loaded pallet is placed in the center of the turntable, and even if the load is evenly distributed on the pallet, the weight of the loaded pallet might still not be evenly supported by the turntable rollers, due to manufacturing tolerances in the production of theframe and turntable, pulley/hub, etc., or due to the effects of the weight distribution of the load in combination with the dynamics of the turntable, and, even. Every one of these situations could cause elevated dress in about the rollers and increased vibrations while in rotation of your turntable.
