Stretch Wrap Machine Solution for Mining and Screening Industry

Our client is a market leader in screen media innovation, serving more than 200 mine sites across Australia for over 45 years. As an independent, Australian-owned business, operational efficiency is central to how they run their facilities. Like many industrial operations, their warehouses relied on manual pallet wrapping, a process that was time-consuming, inconsistent, and difficult to scale.

Manual wrapping introduced variability in film usage, required significant labour input, and lacked any integrated weighing or tracking capability. As throughput demands grew, the team needed a solution that could standardise their outbound process without adding headcount.

Gateway Packaging supplied a Paxum® X100 Pallet Stretch Wrap Machine with Scales for the client’s first warehouse. The X100’s automatic film cut and clamp, photoelectric pallet height detection, built-in scales, and remote-controlled operation eliminated manual handling at every stage of the wrap cycle. The LCD touch screen and intelligent alarm system gave operators clear, real-time control and the 3-year warranty provided confidence in the long-term investment.

The impact was immediate. Wrapping became faster, more consistent, and measurably more efficient. Satisfied with the performance at their first site, the client returned to Gateway Packaging to purchase a second X100 for their additional warehouse location, a clear endorsement of both the machine and the partnership. Two sites now run with the same streamlined, automated process, reinforcing the operational standards that have made them an industry leader for nearly five decades.
