Pallet Wrapper Servicing and Weighing Scale Recalibration
Why Accurate Weighing Systems Matter in Pallet Wrapping Operations
In modern warehouses and production facilities, pallet wrappers are no longer just containment machines. Many pallet wrapping machines now rely on integrated weighing scales and load cells to control pallet weights, verify loads, calculate freight, and ensure compliance. When those weighing systems drift out of tolerance, the consequences hit productivity, compliance, and cost.
That is why regular pallet wrapper servicing and weighing scale recalibration should be a core part of any end-of-line maintenance strategy.
At Excelerate Ltd, we provide nationwide pallet wrapping machine service, including weighing scale and load cell recalibration, supporting customers anywhere in the UK.
Why weighing accuracy matters on pallet wrapping machines
Integrated weighing systems on pallet wrappers are used for:
Verifying pallet weights before dispatch
Preventing overweight pallets entering transport
Ensuring consistent product quantities
Supporting trade compliance and labelling accuracy
Feeding data into WMS and logistics systems
Over time, weighing scales and load cells drift due to vibration, mechanical wear, temperature changes, impacts, and daily operational stress. Even small inaccuracies can compound across hundreds or thousands of pallets.
Without proper recalibration, pallet wrapping machines can:
Release overweight pallets
Misreport shipment weights
Trigger false rejects or pass unsafe loads
Create compliance and audit risks
Regular pallet wrapping weighing scale recalibration restores accuracy and reliability without replacing the entire system.
Pallet wrapper servicing is not just about film and motors
Many service providers focus only on mechanical faults. That approach misses a critical risk area.
A pallet wrapper can be mechanically sound and still be operationally wrong if the weighing system is out of calibration.
As part of a professional pallet wrapper servicing programme, weighing scales and load cells must be checked, calibrated, and verified against known standards. This is especially important for:
Stretch wrappers with integrated scales
Automated and semi-automated pallet wrapping machines
High-throughput distribution centres
Food, FMCG, pharmaceutical, and regulated environments
Ignoring calibration creates hidden cost and compliance exposure.
Risks of not recalibrating pallet wrapping weighing scales
Failure to recalibrate weighing systems on pallet wrappers can lead to:
Legal and compliance risk from incorrect declared weights
Financial loss through over-shipping or rejected loads
Transport issues caused by unsafe pallet weights
Operational disruption due to unreliable data
Brand damage when customers receive non-compliant shipments
These failures are often invisible until a problem occurs. Preventative recalibration removes that risk.
Benefits of regular pallet wrapping machine service and calibration
A structured pallet wrapper servicing and recalibration plan delivers measurable advantages:
Accurate pallet weights across every shift
Compliance confidence for audits and transport regulations
Improved safety by preventing overloaded pallets
Reduced downtime through early fault detection
Lower long-term costs by extending equipment life
This is not optional maintenance. It is operational control.
Signs your pallet wrapper weighing system needs recalibration
You should schedule recalibration if you notice:
Pallet weights drifting or inconsistent
Scales not returning to zero
Known test weights reading incorrectly
Physical impacts to the machine or platform
Changes in temperature or warehouse conditions
Software updates or mechanical adjustments
If any of these apply, pallet wrapping weighing scales recalibration should be carried out by a qualified technician.
