FROMM 2000 series highlights the most recent developments from FROMM, the industry leader in packaging supplies and packaging machinery. This series of automatic pallet wrapper machines offers solutions for wrapping pallets of different sizes and weights. The innovative patented Æolusᵀᴹ technology secures the packaging film by air jet.
FR2000 Stretch film wrapping machines include remote control, automatic cutting of the film at the end of each wrapping cycle, and the subsequent attaching of the film end against the package, by air. With this feature, the film no longer has to be attached to the pallet by hand, and it is sufficient to position the robot against the pallet. The wrapping process can then be started remotely (from the forklift truck). At the end of each wrapping cycle, the film is automatically cut off and attached against the package by air. No additional machine guards or other mechanisms are required for this process, and it can be used at any wrapping location within your company.
Comprehensive Pallet Wrapping Solutions
In addition to the cutting-edge technology of the Æolusᵀᴹ, various pallet wrapping machines cater to different operational needs and product characteristics. Here's an overview of the options available:
Turntable Stretch Wrappers: Ideal for businesses seeking an efficient solution to wrap pallets with consistent speed, handling up to 45 loads per hour.
Rotary Arm Stretch Wrappers: Designed for heavier or more unstable loads, these machines can wrap up to 90 loads per hour, offering stability and protection.
Each type of machine is tailored to specific production speeds and product characteristics, ensuring that businesses can find a solution that fits their exact needs. Whether it's the advanced automation of the Æolus Air Technology or the robustness of traditional stretch hooders, there's a pallet wrapping machine suited for every operational requirement.
Stretch wrapping is essential in the supply chain, providing protection, stability, and unitization for palletized loads. While it may seem like a final step in packaging, it actually acts as the first line of defense as goods enter the supply chain.
As products transition from production to storage and distribution, stretch wrapping is vital for maintaining product integrity.
FROMM Stretch Wrapper Robots have significantly advanced stretch wrapping technologies, enhancing supply chain efficiency and safety globally.

Some of the most interesting Options
Selecting the right stretch wrapper starts with understanding the distinctions between semi-automatic and automatic systems. Both options are designed to streamline pallet wrapping, but each suits a different set of operational demands.
Semi-Automatic Stretch Wrapping Machines
These machines require some manual interaction from the operator—typically, the load must be placed on the turntable or in position, and the film may need to be attached by hand before initiating the wrap cycle. Once set up, the machine performs the wrapping process automatically. In Turntable Models, The pallet remains stationary while the base rotates.
Automatic Stretch Wrapping Machines
Automatic systems go a step further by minimizing or eliminating the need for operator involvement. These machines can automatically apply, cut, and secure the stretch film, making them ideal for high-throughput operations or integration into automated production lines. In Orbital Systems, The film roll rotates around a stationary pallet
Selecting between semi-automatic and automatic stretch wrapping solutions requires a careful analysis of your operational requirements. Here's a practical breakdown of key decision factors:
E-commerce & Fulfillment Centers
The FR2000 directly tackles key challenges in the e-commerce and fulfillment market.
Its flexible programming handles varying package sizes and weights, streamlining operations. During peak seasons, it eliminates bottlenecks, ensuring fast, reliable throughput.
By reducing reliance on manual labor, the FR2000 addresses the industry's cutting labor costs. Automated, uniform wrapping guarantees consistent quality.
Food & Beverage Manufacturing
For Canada’s food and beverage manufacturing sector the FR2000 robot pallet wrapper delivers critical advantages. Its advanced Æolus air attachment system controls condensation, protecting branded labels on bottles and cans from moisture damage—a common pain point for beverage producers.
Designed for high-volume, 24/7 operations, this robotic pallet wrapper efficiently manages hundreds of pallets per cycle, supporting continuous beverage production without bottlenecks.
FMCG Consumer Goods
The fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) segment, in particular, is a global powerhouse, encompassing a vast array of products and driving substantial market value. The FR2000 robot pallet wrapper advanced automation enables rapid, just-in-time wrapping for a broad spectrum of pallet loads, with reprogrammable settings that easily adapt to different product lines.
By optimizing film usage and pre-stretching, the FR2000 reduces plastic consumption, helping manufacturers meet sustainability goals and appeal to eco-conscious retailers and consumers.
3PL Logistics
Logistics and 3PL companies are vital to the nation’s supply chain, managing warehousing, fulfillment, and delivery across a vast landscape. The stretch wrapper robot is autonomous, mobile, and ultra-efficient. Its hands-free, automated operation allows a single operator to manage multiple robots, scaling output instantly during peak seasons.
Consistent, programmable wrapping quality reduces product damage and returns, boosting client satisfaction and protecting brand reputation.
