ODIZ Pallet Wrapper Safety Guarding & Interlock System

Protect employees from the rotating and moving hazards associated with pallet stretch wrappers with the ODIZ Safety Pallet Wrapper Safety Guarding System. Designed to create a physical barrier around the hazardous operating area, this heavy-duty machine-guarding solution helps prevent personnel from entering or reaching into the pallet wrapper while the equipment is operating.

The system features high-visibility safety-yellow framing with durable black welded-wire mesh panels, providing excellent visibility of the wrapping process while maintaining physical separation between personnel and moving machinery. The increased fence height helps reduce the potential for employees to reach over the guarding and access hazardous machine components.

A gated access point provides convenient entry into the guarded area for pallet loading, unloading, maintenance, film changes, and service. The gate can be equipped with a safety-rated interlock system designed to interface with the pallet wrapper's safety control circuit, preventing normal automatic operation when the gate is opened and restricting access during hazardous machine motion.

Key Features

• Tall perimeter safety fencing to help prevent reaching over the guarding
• Heavy-duty welded-wire mesh construction
• High-visibility safety-yellow posts and framing
• Black mesh maintains visibility of the machine and wrapping operation
• Interlocked personnel/access gate options
• Configurable around existing or new pallet wrapping equipment
• Designed around the wrapper's rotating load and turntable hazard zone
• Modular construction allows the enclosure to be sized for different pallet and machine configurations
• Floor-mounted posts provide a rigid industrial installation
• Can accommodate operator, pallet-jack, forklift, and material-flow requirements
• Custom access gates and multiple gate locations available
• Safety switches, E-stops, reset stations, and control integration can be incorporated as required
• Available as a guarding system, engineered solution, or turnkey installation

Customizable Dimensions

Each pallet-wrapper guarding system can be configured around the customer's specific equipment and available floor space:

A = Width
B = Length
C = Guarding Height

ODIZ Safety can design the enclosure based on the pallet wrapper dimensions, maximum pallet/load size, material-handling method, required access points, surrounding equipment, and facility layout.

Applications

Ideal for guarding:

• Turntable stretch wrappers
• Automatic pallet wrappers
• Semi-automatic pallet wrappers
• Rotary-arm stretch wrappers
• Conveyorized wrapping systems
• Robotic pallet wrapping cells
• Other automated pallet-handling equipment

Engineered for the Application

Machine guarding should account for more than the physical dimensions of the pallet wrapper. The ODIZ Safety design process can consider the maximum rotating load envelope, access frequency, stopping characteristics, operator interaction, material flow, and potential reach-around, reach-through, and reach-over exposure when determining the appropriate guarding configuration.

Guard height, mesh opening, safety distance, access points, and safety-control functionality should be established through the machine-specific risk assessment and applicable machine-safety requirements.

Complete Turnkey Solution

ODIZ Safety can provide a complete pallet-wrapper guarding solution including:

Risk Assessment → Guarding Design → Safety Fencing → Interlocked Access → Safety Controls → Installation → Validation

This approach provides manufacturers with a single-source solution for addressing pallet-wrapper hazards while maintaining practical access for production and maintenance personnel.
