Efficiency, Flexibility, and high Performance: Key Features of the Cyclone Wrapper to Adapt to Your Production Needs

¿Do you need a packaging solution that is efficient and capable of adapting to different types of loads? ¿Do you work with various formats and are looking for a system that adjusts to your production needs? The semiautomatic pallet stretch wrapper Cyclone by Innova is one of the most versatile solutions on the market. Thanks to its modular design and wide range of accessories, it can easily adapt to different load dimensions while providing excellent protection and load securing.

In addition, the Cyclone has been developed to minimize wear and reduce maintenance requirements, incorporating high-quality components that extend the system’s service life. Its operation is fully electric, with low-consumption motors, eliminating the need for compressed air installations.

But what truly makes the Cyclone a differentiating solution for small and medium production plants? In this article, we show how Innova’s Cyclone semi-automatic wrapper adapts to multiple load formats thanks to its modular design and wide range of accessories, offering a flexible solution that can evolve alongside production needs with future modifications once installed.

Total adaptability thanks to its modular design

Innova’s Cyclone semi-automatic wrapper has been designed under a fully modular concept, allowing it to precisely adapt to different load sizes as well as to the specific needs of each customer and production environment.

In its standard configuration, the Cyclone features a turntable with a diameter of 1,650 mm and a column height of 2,100 mm. However, one of its main differentiating features is the possibility of modifying these dimensions to adapt to customer requirements.

In the case of the turntable, the diameter can be increased up to 2,200 mm to handle larger loads. From this size, it can be progressively expanded up to 3,800 mm, with increases in 400 mm increments (2,600 mm, 3,000 mm, 3,400 mm, and 3,800 mm).

This flexibility not only allows wrapping larger pallets but can also result in significant installation cost savings. According to UNE-EN 415-6:2014, related to safety in packaging machinery, when the load extends beyond the turntable, it is mandatory to install perimeter safety fencing, which significantly increases project costs. By using a larger platform that fully fits the load, this requirement can be avoided, optimizing both investment and workspace.

On the other hand, if it is necessary to work with very tall loads, the Cyclone column can also be adapted. Starting from a standard height of 2,100 mm, it can be extended up to 2,700 mm with an additional 600 mm increase, ensuring efficient and safe wrapping for taller formats.

The modular design of this system is a clear competitive advantage compared to other semi-automatic wrappers on the market. The Cyclone not only adapts at the time of purchase but also allows for future modifications once installed. In this way, both the turntable size and column height can be expanded on an already operational machine, facilitating its evolution as production needs change.

What accessories can be incorporated into the Cyclone wrapper?

In addition to its versatility in handling different formats, Innova’s semi-automatic wrapper includes a wide range of accessories and add-ons to adapt to your product’s needs:

1. Reinforcement rope system

An essential accessory to provide greater load stability and security. This system transforms the film into a plastic rope, acting like strapping and providing increased compaction and additional load security.

2. Pallet weighing system

One of the most in-demand accessories for semi-automatic wrappers. Through the control PLC, real-time information on pallet weight is obtained once wrapped. This accessory, integrated within the platform, improves load efficiency and traceability.

3. PLC remote access connection

The Cyclone pallet wrapper features its own PLC with worldwide remote access, allowing connection from the manufacturing center. In this way, Innova’s technical team can detect and resolve issues and perform updates remotely.

4. Pallet access and loading solutions

• Access ramp: This accessory consists of a non-slip ramp that allows access to the platform using a manual or electric pallet jack.

• Floor formwork system: An alternative to the access ramp that involves installing the platform in a floor pit, leaving it flush with the ground for easier access.

• Pallet jack access: The platform includes specific openings that allow direct entry of pallet jack forks, facilitating pallet loading without the need for additional ramps or floor pits.

5. Stainless steel (INOX) finish

The Cyclone with stainless steel finishes makes it the perfect solution for operating in demanding environments such as very cold, humid, or corrosive conditions. It can be fully manufactured in stainless steel or incorporate this material only in the most exposed components, adapting to the specific needs of each installation. In addition, this version offers the same functionalities and accessories as the standard Cyclone, ensuring the same performance and versatility.

The semiautomatic pallet stretch wrapper Cyclone is one of the best solutions if you need an efficient system that can adapt to possible format variations in your production. Its modular design allows the equipment to be configured according to each customer’s current needs and also offers the possibility of future modifications if required.
