D-Series
Stretchwrappers
Whether you choose a high or low
profile machine, or an overhead machine, depends on
your material handling.
HIGH PROFILE machines, with a
basically square turntable 12" above the floor, are
usually loaded by fork-truck, straddle-truck, or a
conveyor at least 18" or taller, power or gravity, if
equipped with a round conveyorized turntable.
It is much easier, and quicker, to
load and unload a square turntable with a fork-truck,
which is why the high profile machine is preferred in
all-fork-truck operations.
A high profile machine, with its
larger wheels under the turntable, will require
slightly less maintenance over its long lifetime when
compared to a low profile machine.
LOW PROFILE machines, with a round
turntable 3" above the floor, and a ramp from the
floor to the turntable, are usually loaded by
pallet-jack, or a mixture of pallet-jacks and
fork-trucks, or 6" to-7" high gravity conveyor
(without the ramp.) The low profile design will not
allow a power conveyor to be installed on the
turntable.
Sometimes pallets are loaded while
sitting on the machine's turntable, a convenient lazy-susan,
then wrapped and removed. The low profile is usually
preferred because the top of the load being stacked
does not end up quite so high above the floor, making
it easier and faster to load.
OVERHEAD machines (RA-80) wrap a
load which is sitting on the floor, or it is designed
for use over conveyors, scales, or to wrap on AGV
(Automatic Guided Vehicles), towlines, or ASRS
(Automatic Storage and Retrieval System) vehicles.
With no load weight limits, it can
wrap heavy or light loads. Because the load is not
rotated, unstable loads are not a problem to wrap.
It is available in three
configurations; beam-mount, wall-mount, or
freestanding.
Because they are more expensive than
turntable machines, take more floor space to operate
(but not when idle), and pose an additional safety
concern due to the film arm's high-speed rotation, the
use of these machines is limited to instances where
materials handling needs dictate their use.
Unlike most competitors, Durapak
uses no sheet metal or "formed steel" (some even use
plastic parts) to manufacture our D-Series machines.
Structural steel is vastly superior
to "formed" steel or plastic, and is one of the many
reasons Durapak can offer its incomparable 5 year PLUS
Warranty.
"Formed steel" can make a machine
look larger and more impressive but tends to warp or
"sag" over time, particularly under loading,
destroying the structural integrity of the equipment.
"Sagging" is not obvious while a machine is new and
"under warranty." It is very obvious later when
component parts repeatedly and quickly wear out as the
machine ages and settles.
Plastic components can also make a
machine look larger and more impressive, but
everything plastic breaks; it is only a question of
"when."
Durapak's pride in manufacturing is
evident when one notices that welds are both ground
and polished.
All steel receives a full primer
coat after both steam and "brush" (solvent) cleaning,
plus a polyurethane enamel finish coat. Moving parts
are painted "OSHA" Yellow, the standard basic machine
color is "OSHA" Blue.
This structural steel machine is
fabricated from 6" x 2" x 3/16" structural tubing and
8 x 2 x 3/8" structural steel tubing.

An uneven floor is not an obstacle
to this equipment.
This machine is forklift portable
from BOTH the front and the rear.
The standard 48" x 48" x 3/8" steel
diamond-plate turntable (anti-skid) incorporates a 3"
x 1/4" protective skirt for drive component and
operator safety. (Larger turntables are available.)
The top of the turntable is an
easy-to-use 12 1/4" from the floor.
Standard maximum pallet size is 60"
x 60". The turntable clears the film elevator by a
safe 14" so that overhanging loads can be wrapped
safely.
Standard rotating capacity of the
equipment is 3,000#. (4,000# for machines with
semi-automatic controls. Higher capacities to 10,000#
are available.) Rotating capacity is a safety feature
which keeps the equipment from being damaged should a
component fail or an operator jam the turntable.
Rotating capacity should be relatively close to the
maximum actual pallet weight for safety. Static
capacity is the ability of the equipment to hold
weight, and is over 15,000 pounds.
Right angle, direct friction drive
of the turntable is utilized because it offers the
safest, most efficient means of transferring power.
The right-angle reducer and ALL reducers in this
Durapak machine are covered by a LIFETIME warranty.
The "D" Series 9 r.p.m. turntable is
driven by a 3/4 h.p. A.C. T.E.F.C. motor. (Increased
and/or variable speeds, and "Soft-start" are available
options.) The "E " Series turntable rotates at 7 r.p.m.
and is driven by a 1/2 h.p. thermally protected motor.
The turntable is supported by a
wide-track three-point suspension system to spread the
load on the turntable evenly. It is an engineering
principle that three points - no more and no less -
always determine a plane.
The drive wheel is 8" x 2"
polyurethane coated steel as are the two self-aligning
front casters. Self-aligning casters are critically
important to troublefree operation because it is
virtually impossible to align a fixed caster so that
it tracks perfectly with the rotation of the
turntable. Misalignment results in premature wear or
possible delamination.
Durapak's casters are bolted in
place, not welded and difficult to replace as are many
competitor's casters.
Durapak uses the largest diameter
turntable support casters in use in the industry.
Large diameters result in slower rpm's and, therefore,
increased industrial lifetimes.
Durapak's caster bearings are
greasable to increase their lifetime even further.
A two bolt, self-aligning flange
bearing is bolted to the underside of a pedestal which
is part of the base frame of the machine. The
turntable is held in place by a cold-rolled steel 1
1/4" stub shaft which is an integral part of the
machine's turntable and passes through the flange
bearing. A removable collar on the steel stub shaft
combines the turntable and base frame into one unit.
The self-aligning bearing automatically adjusts for
any misalignment.
Unlike many competitors who depend
upon the weight of the turntable and load to create
downward force for the drive system, Durapak created a
method of pre-loading the turntable.
Pre-loading permits Durapak to place
a load anywhere on the turntable and not have the
turntable tilt, shift, or stall as the load weight
revolves.
This eliminates the necessity to
place a load in the center of the turntable.
Durapak's special pre-loading design
permits adjustment of the amount of friction between
the drive wheel and the bottom of the turntable. This
assures the proper force needed to drive any load
regardless of weight, placement on the turntable, or
film thickness, and further assures positive turntable
alignment time after time. Because the turntable
always stops in the same place, a forklift driver does
not have to realign himself with the load after the
wrap cycle.
A Ring-gear turntable drive is an
available option.
This structural steel machine is
fabricated from 6" x 2" x 3/16" structural tubing.
Video: Low Profile, Full Web, Variable Speed*
Unlike almost all other low-profile
machines, Durapak's low-profile systems are designed
with a structural steel frame, not built by attaching
components to a steel plate (warpable) laying on the
(uneven?) floor.
The top of the turntable is an
easy-to-use 2 7/8" from the floor, making the machine
easily loadable/unloadable even by handjacks when the
machine is ordered with Durapak's optional 4' by 4' by
1/4" steel plate ramps with their four - 1/4" support
ribs for 15,000# roll-over capacity. (Different ramp
sizes/configurations are available options.)
The standard rotating capacity of
the standard low profile is 3,000#. (4,000# for
machines with semi-automatic controls. Higher
capacities to 10,000# are available.)
The turntable is supported by eight
(or more) 4,840# rotating capacity (11,280# static
capacity) 1 1/2" steel cam-rollers plus a two-bolt
flange-bearing. Each roller and bearing is sealed for
extended life.
The turntable is held in center by a
1 1/4" cold rolled steel stub shaft, and is protected
by a structural steel safety-surround.
The location of the turntable
support cam-rollers, plus the location and elevation
of the internal frame members will not allow the
turntable to warp while being loaded/unloaded.
The standard turntable is 60"
diameter, manufactured from 3/8" cold-rolled steel
plate. (Larger or thicker turntables are available.)
Maximum standard pallet size is 48"
x 48". The turntable clears the film elevator by a
safe 12" so that overhanging loads can be wrapped
safely.
The "D" Series turntable is driven
by 3/4 h.p. T. E. F. C. A.C. motor at 9 r.p.m.
(Increased and/or variable speeds, and "Soft-start"
are available options.) The "E" Series turntable
rotates at 7 r.p.m. and is driven by a 1/2 h.p.
thermally protected motor.
The motors speed reducer and ALL
reducers in this Durapak machine are covered by a
LIFETIME warranty.
The turntable is rotated by a ANSI
#50 roller chain with over 6200# tensile strength.
A spring-loaded take-up idler
sprocket keeps the chain tight without excessive
tension, virtually eliminating wear, and also
providing torque limiting protection for the turntable
drive system.
The turntable drive chain is
enclosed for safety.
This machine is fork-truck portable
from BOTH the front and rear.
This
equipment is available in three configurations;
beam-mount, wall-mount, or freestanding.
The structural steel frame system is
fabricated from 6" x 6" x 3/16", 3" x 3" x 3/16, and
2" x 6" x 3/16" structural tubing and 1/2" steel
plates. Importantly the machine's frame spreads the
weight of the unit, through it's leg members to the
floor. The width of the leg frame members distributes
torque loads. Both designs protect the wall/beam it is
fastened to.
Each leg's base plate has a hole for
customer lagging.
This machine is forklift portable
when lying on its back.
For safety purposes, there is an 14"
clearance between the film tower and the machine
support legs (4" if the machine is equipped with
pre-stretch.)
An electric eye focused ahead of the
film tower and a interconnected bumper-guard stops the
film tower's rotation if anything, including your
product, is in the way of its safe rotation.
If selected as an option,
electromechanical braking on a separate pinion stops
the tower rotation in approximately two inches, even
in cases of complete power failure ("Dead-Man"),
without damage to the drive motor/reducer.
Most overhead stretch wrappers stop
rotation with the drive motor/reducer, which is hard
on these components - especially if the machine
rotates at high speed as ours does.
Also, stopping with the motor means
that there is no mechanism to stop the tower rotation
if power is interrupted.
We STRONGLY suggest selection of
this option to preclude personnel injury from tower
rotation in a darkened warehouse in cases of power
failure.
Safety-screening in many forms,
including full screening with electric eyes guarding
each personnel or product opening is available as
options.
The rotary-arm film tower, which is
constructed of 4" x 4" x 3/16" structural tubing and
1/4" cold-rolled steel, is suspended from a 20"
diameter Rotek-style geared ring-gear mounted to a 6"
x 6" structural tube reinforced by three 3" x 3"
structural tubes. The ring-gear has a 35,000 pound
capacity.
The 3/4 hp. D.C. motor and reducer
for film tower rotation engages the geared ring-gear
via a heavy-duty pinion.
The reducer, and ALL reducers in
this equipment, is protected by a LIFETIME warranty.
DURAPAK's anti-friction design
eliminates the industry-wide problem of support caster
lubrication and wear by eliminating all casters. It
also eliminates problems associated with chain and
sprocket or V-belt drive systems.
The speed at which the tower rotates
is adjustable to 14 r.p.m.; the motor is protected by
a current limiter and fusing.
Gradual acceleration, deceleration,
and positive alignment tower circuitry allow for high
production rates without risking machine component
fatigue.
  The
choice of spiral or full-web equipment depends on your
product(s), and production rates.

Video: High Profile, Spiral, 30 Inch Film*
If your pallet loads will vary in
height, spiral is the only way to go.
If you need an Overhead
stretchwrapper, spiral is the only way it is
available.
If your loads are of a relatively
consistent height, and under 60" tall, full-web will
use less film, saving you money.
Full-web machines are five times
faster in their wrap cycle when compared to spiral
because they only revolve the turntable 2-3 times vs.
10-12. Remember that it still takes the same amount of
time to load and unload pallet loads, however.
 One
of Durapak's standard brake systems for this equipment
is an electromechanical brake system. This system
stretches the film by mechanically restricting
(friction) the roll of film.
Video: High Profile, Spiral, Film Brake, Manual
Controls*
The machine operator determines the
stretch level by manually adjusting the "Film Tension"
knob on the control console.
Both standard brake systems are
designed to utilize film rolls to 30" for spiral
machines, 60" for full-web.
This electromechanical brake system
is the best system for using the new "prestretched"
films.
Where machine cost is paramount, our
counterbalanced, position-lockable manual-raise film
elevator featuring a friction film brake is the
economic winner.
Special electromechanical braking
systems for stretch netting (instead of film) are
available as options for "D" series machines.
Durapak offers it's customers a
choice from two non-powered and two powered
pre-stretch systems in place of
our standard brake systems.
Video: High Profile, Spiral, Semi-Auto, Prestretch,

Durastretch I, a non-powered
pre-stretch, is available at no additional charge on
electric spiral film elevator equipped equipment, the
other systems are low-cost options.
See Durapak's "Guide to Pre-stretch"
for operational details. Click on the "Prestretch?"
tab above.
Durastretch III is not available on
the RA-80 due to design considerations.
The film mast on all Durapak
equipment is formed from 6" x 6" x 5/16" or heavier
structural "H" beam and 1/2" cold-rolled steel plates.
Some competitive uprights are
manufactured from as little as fence pipe, and they
raise and lower their film carriage (spiral) on
concaved fence-gate casters.
The standard spiral or full-web
tower height is designed to wrap loads to 60" in
height. Semi-automatic spiral machines have a 72" wrap
height. Additional wrap height is an option.
The spiral film elevator on all
Durapak electric elevator "D" series machines is
mounted to Durapak's structural steel upright by four
1,660# capacity 3/4" cam followers plus four thrust
blocks.
Video: High Profile, Spiral, 30 Inch Film*

Controls, 30 Inch Film*
Video: High Profile, Spiral, Prestretch*
Durapak supports its film elevator
on the mast at both the top and the bottom, unlike
most competitive manufacturers who only support their
elevator at the bottom, insuring low-friction
alignment for years of trouble-free use.
Durapak's film elevator is placed
over the machine frame, away from the operator's work
area. Some manufacturers side-mount their elevator, so
that it raises and lowers in the work area, over the
operator's feet.
A spiral film elevator is lifted by
a number 50 ANSI chain that has a ultimate strength of
over 6,200 pounds, more than 40 times the weight of
the elevator and film, requires negligible
maintenance, and cannot become misaligned as a
rack-and-pinion system can, causing premature wear or
breakage.
Some manufacturers use two separate
chains to lift the film elevator. This is necessary in
their machine design to keep the elevator aligned in
the tower without jamming. Because two chains will not
stretch equally, only one chain actually carries the
weight of the film elevator.
Also, a two-chain lift is no
stronger or safer than a single-chain lift if it is
connected to the elevator motor/reducer by a single
chain. "A chain (or film elevator lifting mechanism)
is as strong as it's weakest link."
Some manufacturers use
plastic-covered fabric belts to lift the film
elevator. These belts fray and can be cut. They lose
their ability to lift weight as they age.
It is not possible to visually
determine when these belts need to be replaced.
Durapak does not feel that this is a safe method to
use in an industrial environment.
Also, because the belts wind on top
of themselves, changing the take-up reel's diameter,
the film elevator runs faster the higher the film
elevator is raised. This fact effects the security of
the wrapped load.
For employee safety, Durapak's
film-elevator's chain is covered by a 1/4" steel plate
to eliminate pinch points.
Durapak's lift chain is linked to
1/2" cold-rolled steel.
Durapak's design places the 1/4 h.p.
T.E.F.C. high-efficiency permanent-magnet D.C.
elevator motor and reducer inside the structural steel
frame, protecting them from damage.
This reducer, and all reducers in
this equipment, is protected by a lifetime warranty.
The elevator lift unit is further
protected by override limit switches, current
limiting, and fusing.
The speed of the elevator ascent and
decent is adjustable from the control console.
The standard tower height is
designed to wrap pallets to 60" in height using 20"
film. Semi-automatic spiral machines have a 72" wrap
height. Additional wrap height is an option.
The safety limit switch preventing
film elevator overtravel is protected by the 5/16"
structural "H" beam.
Because of DURAPAK's design, film on
Low Profile and RA-80 Overhead machines can be applied
to within 1" of the turntable, conveyor or floor over
which the machine has been installed. (Actual results
depend on the type and gauge of film used - some films
neck-down more than others, and some have longer core
extensions past the end of the film. Both effect how
close to the turntable, conveyor top or the floor the
film will actually come.)
 All
Durapak equipment (except the RA-80 Overhead) features
a fully-adjustable base-roping bar, which allows a
variable amount of film to be "roped" at the bottom of
the load to help secure the load tightly to the pallet
while using less film overall.
Video: Film Clip, Base Roping Bar*
This standard feature alone saves
enough film during the equipments lifetime to pay for
the machine.
The machine operator
turns on the turntable after tucking the end of the
stretch-film into the load. When he has sufficient
film around the load he turns the machine off.
Any time the operator
turns the turntable rotation "Off" he stops the wrap
process.

Some equipment manufacturer's film
mandrels have to be manually adjusted to these random
core sizes.
The "E" series 7 r.p.m. turntable is
rotated by depressing an electric foot switch. The
turntable drive motor is thermally protected.
NOTE: "E" Series machines are
upgradable to all electric "D" Series spiral machine
at a later date.
The "D" series machine operator
turns on the turntable after tucking the end on the
stretch-film into the load. When he has sufficient
film at the bottom of the load he holds the film
elevator switch in the "Up" position. The film
elevator rises, wrapping the sides of the load. At the
top of the load the operator centers the elevator
switch (or releases it), allowing film to wrap the top
of the load, if desired. Holding the film-elevator
switch "Down" cross-wraps the sides of the load. Any
time the operator turns the turntable rotation "Off"
he stops the wrap process.
Safety switches prevent the operator
from trying to raise or lower the film elevator beyond
the limits of the equipment.

Adjustable top and bottom
wrap-height-control limit switches are included. The
bottom limit switch is pre-set at turntable level, but
can be adjusted if required.
If the operator needs to reinforce
part of the wrap - maybe there's a hole in the film -
he can do so without rewrapping the entire pallet,
wasting time and film. Holding the "Start" button
stops the film elevators movement, reinforcing the
required area, but continues the machines program when
the button is released.
Stopping the machine before the
cycle is complete, then restarting it, restarts the
wrap cycle in upwards or top band cycle, convenient
for applying top sheets.

A popular spiral option is our
Automatic Pallet Height Sensing (Electric Eye). With
the Electric Eye the operator does not have to move
the top limit switch to the height of the pallet. The
machine automatically finds the top of the load.
Semi-automatic Controls are also required for the Eye
to function.
"Cycle Pause" is another option
available on all semi-automatic machines.
"Cycle Pause" interrupts the wrap
cycle so it can be continued later from that point.
This eliminates the potential time and film loss
involved in restarting the wrap program if the machine
is stopped with a load partially wrapped. This button
comes in handy at the end of each and every roll of
film used. The film savings over the long life time of
the equipment can be significant.
If one wants to apply top sheets for
either security or watertightness they must be applied
with full film layers both under and over the bottom
edges of the top sheet. Inside and outside film layers
grip the top sheet so it can't blow or be pulled out,
and keeps moisture from running down the top sheet -
under the side wraps - into the load.
With the "Cycle Pause" switch, the
operator can stop the wrap cycle when the unit has
partially wrapped the top of the pallet so the top
sheet can be applied by the operator with a full film
layer(s) under it. The machine continues its wrap
cycle and over-wraps the top sheet automatically with
the programmed number of top wraps when the "Start"
switch is again cycled. This insures that the load
receives maximum protection while eliminating the
wasted time and film involved in completely wrapping
the pallet twice.
"Turntable Jog" is another option
available on all semi-automatic machines.
"Turntable (Rotary Arm) Jog" allows
the turntable (rotary arm) to be partially or
completely rotated manually, without engaging a
complete wrap cycle.
This is handy when hand-stacking
boxes, straightening a top sheet, or reinforcing part
of a load.
Variable Speed and Soft-Start are
two options available on all "D" Series machines,
manual or semi-automatic controls.
Video: Low Profile, Full Web, Variable Speed*
For light, or unstable loads,
Soft-Start gradually (adjustable) accelerates the
turntable (or film tower) to it's ultimate rpm.
With Variable Speed, which includes
Soft-Start, the ultimate rpm is adjustable also (to 12
rpm on turntable machines, 14 rpm on the RA-80
Overhead.)
On the RA-80, or any Variable Speed
turntable machine (Not Soft-Start), the film tower
(Turntable) gradually decelerates to "stopping speed"
on the last half of the last revolution.
Top plattens, or load stabilizers,
place a hold-down foot on the top of a pallet load to
help prevent merchandise from falling off of the load
during the wrap process.
Video: Low Profile, Spiral, Top Platten, Custom
Machine*
At one time they were quite common.
However, the invention of powered prestretch, and
refinements in Soft-Start, as well as the perfection
of the RA-80 Overhead stretchwrapper have made them
less useful.
For a top platten to be effective,
the top of the pallet-load must be relatively flat,
and generally of the same length and width.
A stabilizing arm, with a padded
disk (or square, sized to the load) is manually or
semi-automatically lowered onto the top of the
merchandise before the wrapping process begins.
Depending on the variation in load
heights to be wrapped the arm can be controlled either
pneumatically (less expensive) or electrically.
The purpose of this device is to
stabilize the load for wrapping, it is not designed as
a compression platten.
Both high and low profile turntable
machines are available with two turntables, served by
a single roll of stretch film. This configuration
increases machine and operator output without
increasing the machine cost significantly.
Simple, reliable 115 V., 10 amp.(15
amp with powered prestretch) AC electrics are used.
The power cord plugs into a standard wall outlet.
(Voltage or phase conversion are available options.)
All plug-in relays are
interchangeable and feature base activation indicator
lights, contact activation flags, and press-to-test
buttons to verify performance and speed
troubleshooting.
Durapak uses no PLC, custom
"microprocessor" or "discrete logic" (solid state)
control circuits. These can be difficult or impossible
to trouble-shoot, and expensive or impossible to
repair. Special test and/or programming equipment, and
specialized technical knowledge, is often necessary.
Replacement boards or modules can be very expensive.
As stated during the discussion, no
special parts are required. All components of this
equipment are of U.S. commercial manufacture and are
readily available at most supply houses world wide.
Separate line and individual
component fusing is utilized to provide maximum
equipment protection and safety. (Thermal motor
protection only on manual-lift spiral machines.)
Wiring is to the entire National
Fire Protection Association's N.E.C. (National
Electrical Code) standards, not just the section on
Industrial Machinery (Article 670 - which covers
supply conductors and nameplate data only) some
manufacturers claim as compliance.
Only Underwriter's Laboratory (U.L.)
listed/approved components are used; the control
console is NEMA 12 rated.
All motors are T.E.F.C. (Totally
Enclosed, Fan Cooled). This machine is not designed
for wash-down or use outside - in the rain.
For safety, all main-frame wiring is
internal to eliminate the potential of an employee
tripping over exposed conduit.
Again for personnel safety, all
machine components are metal, and bonded.
No (static-producing) plastic
machine components are used.
