The Highlight
Heavy Duty Handwrapper
Precise tension control
for maximum stretch and economy.
Modern casting, machining and design principles have produced
a handwrapper which works extremely smoothly to wrap your palletized loads
tightly, efficiently and economically.
Care in four key areas make the Highlight Handwrapper your
best way to apply film by hand.
1) Cast flat zinc base gives smooth
film stretch. Zinc casting has an accuracy and flatness
which cannot be matched by welded steel. The high strength zinc/manganese/aluminum/copper
alloy of the cast Highlight base won't chip, dent or bend (as steel can).
It is surface ground flat (±.005") totally eliminating
any "flat tire" effect on the roll which can cause uneven wrap
and wasted film. Highlight's broad base resists tipover minimizing nicks
and cuts which cause film tears. The base's cast web design adds support
to stress areas while removing excess metal, keeping the entire wrapper
weighing only 3.5 lbs. Its light weight will be appreciated over a long
day of wrapping.
2) Handle designed for comfort, press
fit for lifetime use. The Highlight handle is bent on
a 33° angle to make it easier to wrap the bottom row of boxes on a
pallet. It also allows a grip nearer the center of gravity for less worker
fatigue over an entire day. To further minimize fatigue, the handle is
covered with a cushion foam grip. The handle is press fit to the base
under three tons of pressure. The tubing actually tightens on-half to
one thousandth so it literally can't move side to side. A roll pin across
the diameter acts as a safety check to prevent any chance of slipping
vertically.
3) Bottom core holder delivers smooth
film stretch. The bottom core holder receives all
the weight and pressure during wrapping. It must operate smoothly. The
Highlight bottom core holder is zinc cast in a cavity/web design for strength
with lightness, and a DuPont Vespel ring provides a slippery, dry surface
for the core to ride on. This smooth Vespel riding on the smooth wrapper
base assures the best possible film stretch.
4) Top Tension control assembly keeps
stretch constant, offers a range of adjustments. This
entire assembly has been designed for precise operation. Once the core
holder is engaged, there is 1½ turns of knob adjustment between
free roll and maximum stretch. Six quarter-turns give you a full and graduated
measure of film stretch. For extra strength the threaded shaft has twice
the three-eighths inch engagement needed to prevent stripped threads.
It has strength, control and precision so you can wrap your loads securely
and economically.
