| 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.
