SWA, MANUAL
Specifications
Thank you for purchasing a semi-automatic stretch wrap machine made by Vestil Manufacturing Company
(“Vestil”). Our wrapping machines are designed for dependability and incorporate numerous safety-enhancing
features. Although use and maintenance procedures are relatively intuitive, all persons who might use or maintain
this product must familiarize themselves with the instructions provided in this manual.
Notable features of standard models include:
•
Carousel rotation controlled by a (foot) pedal switch connected to an 8 foot cord. The standard 115V,
variable AC motor allows adjustable rotation speeds of 3-12 rpm and includes soft-starting and stopping
capability.
•
Adjustable stretch-wrap tension controlled by a friction-brake assembly. Film placement is controlled
manually by moving the carriage assembly up and down on the vertical mast. An easy-to-release, hand
operated carriage-brake allows the carriage to move freely making film application fast and simple.
•
Adaptability to use stretch wrap rolls 10"-20" long.
•
Minimal assembly is necessary. Each wrapping machine is shipped with the mast disconnected.
Assembly simply requires raising the mast and bolting it in place.
•
The stretch-wrap delivery mechanism can be upgraded to a 115V, single phase, AC-powered mast option
(PMO).
•
Ability to be used in conjunction with an optional ramp, which allows the operator to load and unload the
machine with a pallet truck.
