Muller LCS, a leading manufacturer of both innovative equipment and material load containment solutions, has introduced a solution for wrapping pallets with its new Octopus “1717C” automatic rotary ring stretch wrapper.

The Octopus 1717C is competitively priced to automatic rotary arm and turntable machines in the 30-50 LPH range. With its compact size the new wrapper is versatile for a variety of applications making it a perfect machine for selling through distribution.

“We built the Octopus 1717C to give customers all the benefits they’ve come to expect from our Octopus rotary ring stretch wrap machines in a smaller footprint while providing optimal load containment and minimizing film usage,” said Mark Lawler, distribution manager, Muller LCS. “It’s also a highly intuitive machine to operate and install considering its capabilities.”

The Octopus “1717C” also comes equipped with Muller’s patented Easy S Film Carriage which enables simple film loading, maximizes pre-stretch performance and minimizes wear. Compared to traditional “W” wrap systems, the positive contact of the “S” wrap pattern improves pre-stretch levels, can better handle a variety of films, and significantly lowers the overall cost of ownership.
