Both approaches deliver secure, repeatable wraps. The best choice depends on labor, volume, and integration needs.
Two common architectures dominate—each with strengths. Use the quick comparison below to narrow the field.
Best for
Standard, stable loads
Tall, light, or unstable loads
Load movement
Pallet rotates on table
Arm circles a stationary pallet
Space/ceiling
Compact footprint
Needs arm clearance/height
Integration
Easy to add ramps/scales
Suits in‑line conveyorized cells
Budget range
Typically lower
Typically higher
Tip: If load stability is a concern, choose rotary. If floorspace is tight and loads are uniform, turntable often wins. When in doubt, we’ll help you run a turntable vs rotary tower evaluation on your floor.

Powered pre‑stretch, variable wrap force, and film threading aids reduce film waste.
Soft start/stop, fixed/automatic film cut and wipe, roping, and top/bottom wraps.
Height range, safety photoeye, mast fold/hinge options, and tower bracing.
In‑line or turntable scales, label printing/apply, and data capture.
Intuitive HMI, recipe storage, password levels, and diagnostics.
Interlocks, light curtains, fencing, and Category-rated components.
Conveyorized infeed/outfeed, corner‑board applicators, and full cell guarding.
A pallet wrapper must fit your material flow. Confirm forklift aisles, ramp angles, and clearance for mast or rotating arm. Electrical requirements and air (if used) should align with existing utilities.

Common questions about stretch wrappers and pallet wrappers.
Semi-automatic machines require some manual steps, such as attaching film to the pallet. Automatic machines handle the entire wrapping process from start to finish, maximizing efficiency in high-volume operations.
Yes. Our team will assess your load size, weight, throughput goals, and warehouse layout to recommend the right machine for your operation—whether that’s a turntable, rotary arm, or orbital system.
Absolutely. Seal-tec offers complete support including professional installation, on-site training for your team, and coordinate service to keep your stretch wrap systems running at peak performance.
