Pallet Wrapping Machine Solution for Agricultural & Food Production Industry

A long-established fresh produce business based in Bairnsdale, Victoria has been supplying quality fruit and vegetables to the market for over 50 years. Operating in a demanding, high-throughput environment, the business dispatches more than 50 truckloads of fresh produce every day, making efficiency, consistency, and load security critical to ongoing success.

As volumes increased, the company identified that its existing pallet wrapping machine was no longer meeting operational requirements. The ageing equipment was inefficient, consumed excessive stretch film, and relied heavily on manual handling, leading to slower turnaround times and inconsistent pallet stability during transport. Recognising the need for a long-term solution, the business partnered with Gateway Packaging to address these challenges.

At Gateway Packaging, we take pride in understanding our customers’ unique challenges and delivering high-quality, tailored solutions. By working closely with the customer, our team assessed their operational workflow, safety requirements, and throughput demands before recommending the Paxum® Stretch Wrap Machine X1 with Roping System as the most suitable solution.

The machine’s 400 percent pre-stretch capability significantly reduced film consumption while improving load containment. Its integrated roping system enhanced pallet stability during transport, while features such as automatic pallet height detection, automatic film cutting, and an intuitive LCD touch screen streamlined daily operations. Advanced safety systems and intelligent LED alarms further improved workplace safety.

To ensure a smooth transition, Gateway Packaging provided comprehensive on-site training, enabling staff to operate the machine with confidence from day one. The result was a safer, faster, and more efficient pallet wrapping process, reinforcing a trusted partnership built on reliability, performance, and expert support.
