Ensuring the optimal performance of your pallet wrapper is essential for maintaining efficient operations.

Our website, mpspack.com.au, offers a wealth of resources designed to assist you in troubleshooting and maintaining your pallet wrapping equipment.

Common Pallet Wrapper Issues and Solutions

  1. Pallet Wrapper Carriage Not Ascending
    If your pallet wrapper’s carriage fails to move upward, consider the following steps:
    • Preset Height Settings: Ensure that the machine isn’t configured to a preset wrapping height. For Atlanta Stretch pallet wrappers, verify that Function 12 (F12) is set to “50” or “OFF.” Any other value may cause the carriage to stop prematurely. Mechanical Concerns: Listen for unusual sounds. A silent motor or grinding noises might indicate issues such as broken belts or chains. In such cases, it’s advisable to consult a technician. Turntable Homing Sensor: If the turntable doesn’t reset correctly, the homing sensor might be misaligned or faulty. Attempt to reset the turntable to its “home” position. Continuous rotation or errors during this process suggest sensor issues that may require professional attention.

  2. Error Codes E03 and E09
    • Error E03: This alarm often appears after a power outage or when the machine has been turned off. To resolve:
      1. Press the blue enabling button. Press the reset or alarm clear button on the control panel.
      If the E03 alarm persists during operation, power cycle the machine and repeat the steps above. Should the issue continue, ensure the power source is active and consult our detailed guide: My Pallet Wrapper Has Error Code E03.
    • Error E09: Encountering this alarm at the start of a wrapping cycle may indicate film breakage. To address:
      • Reduce Film Tension: Lowering the tension can prevent film breakage.Inspect Film Quality: Ensure the film is free from imperfections and is appropriate for your machine.
