If you cannot fix the problem yourself, you will need a pallet wrapping machine technician to come to your premises to check it out. Some common problems that require a technician are
Damage from forklifts - Forklift collisions usually happen when people are in a hurry and not paying attention, which can cause extensive damage to the pallet wrapping machine.
Debris under the turntable - this is a common cause of paper jams, especially when the stretch film gets under the turntable.
Blown fuse - this can happen during a power surge. Technicians need to replace fuses properly and safely.
There are several steps you can take to help prevent damage to your pallet wrapping machine from happening in the first place.
Prevent forklift collisions - A good way to prevent this damage is to bolt a strip of angle iron to the floor around the machine to prevent this from happening.
Keep the area clean - Make sure the area around the pallet wrapping machine is free of debris that could get stuck under the turntable and cause a jam.
