NEW Patent Pending Super Rapid Thread Pre-Stretch Carriage

Two high precision aluminum rollers mechanically rotate behind the pre stretch rollers; nip the pre-stretch rollers and lock into place. These three factors are why the super Rapid Thread delivers pre-stretch values that are more precise and true to the pre-stretch ratio.

          Saves Money through improved performance - greater film to roll contact for
           maximum film yield.
          60% film-roller contact on a Safety Door Style Carriage to the typical industry norm of
           35%.
          “Locking” feature maintains “nip roll” engagement throughout wrapping process.
          Reduced slippage means improved film clarity for scanning barcodes.
          Available as an option on all full-sized Cousins equipment.
          Can be retrofit for most competitive wrappers with field retrofit kit.

Maximum Film Yield! Minimum Film Cost!

     Take advantage of the maximum pre-stretch capabilities of today’s hi-tech films with the
     patent-pending Super Rapid Thread Carriage. This exciting new breakthrough in
     pre-stretch technology dramatically improves pre-stretch carriage performance.

     A typical problem with safety door-style carriages is pre-stretch roller slippage. The higher
     pre-stretch ratio, the greater the slippage, the lower the film yield and the higher the cost
     of film used per load. Adding sprockets or eliminating a middle idler will not affect this
     result to any notable degree.

     As the packaging industry continues to evolve, new impacts from slippage are being
     uncovered. Inconsistent film-stretch results in a loss of film clarity. The emerging
     challenge is that bar coders cannot read through this film.

How is the Super Rapid Thread Different?

     Based on extensive field research with actual users, the Cousins Team has precision
     engineered a new vision in pre-stretch carriage technology. The first and last idler rollers
     on the Super Rapid Thread Carriage actually pivot and rotate around to the back of the pre-
     stretch rollers. They then lock into place, improving film roller contact and dramatically
     reducing slippage. As the idler rollers now actually touch the pre-stretch rollers, they
     maintain a “nip roll” engagement throughout the entire wrapping process.
