Features and advantages of Saturn S4

The Saturn S4 pallet wrapper machine offers several advantages if you want to wrap your goods with guarantees. Want to know more about this model? Here are all the details…

What is the Saturn S4 pallet wrapper?

The Saturn S4 model with a rotating ring is designed for SMEs, as it is made for medium-sized productions in terms of dimensions and characteristics. All this, without reducing Movitec’s quality in any way.

This pallet wrapper has a simple operation: the load is placed on the pallet, and using a rotating mechanism, each pallet is wrapped with transparent film. The operation is automatic, and the entire load is covered and secured from top to bottom. However, it should be noted that everything operates automatically and is programmed with software. The level of training needed to manage it is minimal, which means it doesn’t take much time to handle it.

If there is a conveyor belt or a pallet jack, it is easy to switch the merchandise to load a new pallet. In any case, it is important to know that it can be adapted to different circumstances, as needed.

It should be noted that the Saturn S4 pallet wrapper comes with all of Movitec’s guarantees and has been tested beforehand. Therefore, this is a work tool designed so that it can be used trouble-free right from the installation.

The advantages of the Saturn S4 pallet wrapper

The Saturn S4 pallet wrappers offer numerous advantages for the companies that use them. For this reason, these technologies are disruptive and are being consolidated in industrial companies. But we can highlight the following advantages over others:

1. The Saturn S4 provides speed

First of all, these machines provide speed in wrapping. Up to 70 pallets can be wrapped per hour, which is an ideal frequency for SMEs and companies with medium production levels. If you need to get a certain amount of goods out and do it right, this is a good option.

It should be noted that there are machines with higher speeds and others that are slower. But as an alternative for medium activity levels, it will perform well. And, of course, you’ll be able to get your goods out without any issues.

2. This machine provides more precision

One of the advantages of this machine is the precision it offers. If you want to do a good job and minimize the chances of your goods being returned, this is a good option.

Keep in mind that manual wrapping, by definition, is always less precise than automatic. Perhaps it won’t be tight enough, or, worse, there will be film tails left. And this, when customs checks are involved, can result in the return of the goods. Also, don’t forget that poorly wrapped pallets give a bad impression to the final customer.

Well, thanks to this machine, this possibility is greatly reduced. After all, the ring adjusts to the pallet dimensions for maximum tightness.

3. You’ll achieve considerable savings in raw materials

Raw material savings are another added value that this technology offers compared to others. And this is easily achieved because the stretch film tensioning capacity is maximum, achieving 4 meters for every meter of film (4:1). If your goal is to optimize your resources, this is undoubtedly an ally.

When this operation is done by hand, the tensioning will never be the same. On the other hand, the chances of total or partial breakage increase exponentially. That’s why the Saturn S4 is a better option. Ultimately, breakages mean, beyond safety, an additional expense in raw materials.

4. It’s a machine that offers versatility

One of the recurring questions when choosing a machine is whether it will be suitable for certain types of companies. And here the Saturn S4 introduces a disruptive element, for the better: you can use it in chemical industries, hygiene product distribution, beverages, food, animal feed, industrial supplies, or drums. In short, it can be applied in various fields.

Moreover, the company can configure the machine to adjust to the type of company using it. This way, performance will be maximized and a better result will be achieved.

5. You’ll get a reduction in labor costs

Labor costs are one of the key challenges for companies. And mechanization can help reduce or optimize them. How? The Saturn S4 does it this way:

  • The worker manages the process from the computer and doesn’t need to handle the pallet wrapping, which reduces time. After all, just turning the pallet around is already a significant time loss.
  • Since the worker is simply supervising, one person can manage several wrapping processes at the same time. This can be done from a central software, optimizing activities.
  • As a result, fewer people are needed to perform the same task. In fact, if everything is properly aligned, one person would be enough.

You won’t need to hire more people, and furthermore, the people you already have can be redirected to value-generating activities. Therefore, you’ll spend less doing the same and increase your productivity.

6. Workplace safety

If there’s one non-negotiable point in labor regulations nowadays, it’s safety. And with this machine, you minimize the risk of workplace accidents.

Firstly, the worker doesn’t have to physically handle the pallet, reducing the chances of muscular problems. Moreover, by working remotely, it’s also unlikely that there will be falls of boxes. Finally, it should be noted that the risk of slipping is also reduced.

Obviously, safety protocols in labor rights should always be followed. But with the Saturn S4, there will be fewer accidents, and this will also reflect on your bottom line.

In summary…

For many reasons, the Saturn S4 pallet wrapper is an ideal option for medium workloads and various activity sectors. Want to know more? At Movitec, we help you choose the model that best suits your needs. Contact us!
