Set, Adjust the Tension on the Film

Set, Adjust the Tension on the Film
Film Tension is an adjustable setting that controls the pressure applied to the load during the
wrap cycle.
To find the optimum setting for your product:
1. Set the film tension at the highest level that does not cause film breaks.
Make sure that it does not cause the load to twist
2. Set the tension at 10 for loads with similar size layers that fit the pallet
3. Set the tension at 5 for all other loads.
4. With some premium films you can set the tension at a higher setting and not cause film breaks.
5. Low quality film and lower gauge film can require a lower setting

•
Medium: 1016 mm – 2032 mm (40" – 80")
