Wrap Your Mind Around Heat Seal Wrappers

Automatic wrappers bring high-speed performance, efficiency and consistency to backrooms and pre-pack stations. Most automatic wrappers tare the tray’s weight, weigh the food, apply stretch wrap and label the wrapped tray before discharging it.

Hand-wrapping systems are ideal for compact workspaces, but can also be used as complementary workstations with automatic wrappers. Manual wrapping stations offer more control over the film and label placement.

WM-Ai Automatic Wrapper

The Ishida WM-Ai is a full-sized automatic wrapper that weighs, wraps and labels up to 35 packages every minute. It features a 12-inch color touchscreen and dual-range weighing to elevate backroom efficiency and accuracy. It is ideal for facilities that wrap more than 1,000 packages every day.

WM-Nano Tabletop Wrapper

The Ishida WM-Nano tabletop wrapper is the ideal solution for grocers and markets with limited space needing high performance and consistent wrapping. The WM-Nano is just 28 inches deep, 34 inches wide and 28 inches high, allowing it to fit compact spaces such as tabletops, counters and similar stands.

Hand-wrapping Stations

Ishida hand-wrapping stations are ideal for weighing and wrapping products with odd shapes or sharp edges. Rice Lake offers hand-wrap stations with Ishida’s Uni-3, Uni-7 or Uni-9 scale systems and the Ishida IP-Ai. Ishida’s remote scale bases connect to indicators with label printers for fast, custom label printing, including nutritional and safe handling information.

Retail Wrappers in Action

Automatic wrappers are used in a variety of facilities, from small grocery stores to Meals on Wheels, and these stories show how Rice Lake wrappers are being used.

Wrapped Up in Something Big

FeedMore Western New York’s (WNY) Meals on Wheels program has dramatically improved efficiency after implementing an Ishida WM-Ai automatic wrapper in their production processes. With FeedMore WNY’s Meals on Wheels program providing six different meal options for a variety of health needs, the WM-Ai stays busy. Thanks to the Ishida WM-Ai, FeedMore WNY and TRIO Community Meals are able to efficiently and reliably battle food insecurity in Western New York.

A Retail Star is Born

Sun Foods and Dragon Star Supermarket provide a wide variety of international foods in Saint Paul, Minnesota. When they needed to boost efficiency to better serve their customers, they turned to WM-Ai automatic wrappers. With help and training, the teams at Sun Foods and Dragon Star Supermarket found a way to easily wrap up every cut of meat for their customers. The WM-Ai automatic wrappers from Rice Lake Retail Solutions have proven to be shining stars in these meat departments.

A Golden Opportunity

When Golden Harvest Foods in Saint Paul, Minnesota reopened after a fire that caused significant damage to their building, they outfitted their store with Rice Lake's retail equipment to help them remain a community staple for generations to come. With reliable, technologically advanced equipment from Rice Lake Retail Solutions and local support, Golden Harvest will be around to provide traditional Hmong groceries and community connection for many generations.

Gleaming Grocery

A Chicagoland grocery chain incorporated Rice Lake Retail Solutions’ Ishida Uni-9 scales and WM-Nano wrapper to reduce errors and add a marketing edge. Rice Lake’s Ishida WM-Nano tabletop wrapper is in a stainless steel and tiled back room next to the meat counters. It helps the meat department, wrapping continually as truckloads of beef, pork, poultry, seafood, kielbalsa, bratwurst, smoked sausage, even chicken feet, come in daily.

Community Matters

When the community of Rice Lake, Wisconsin celebrated the grand opening of the area’s newest grocery store, there was even more to celebrate. Gordy's County Market a family-owned grocery chain based in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, had been a long time coming. “It’s a market that we’ve had a lot of people contacting us and wanting us to be up here,” says company founder, Gordy Schafer. “It does my heart good to see this new store opening.”

Wrapping Up Quality

Many of us are on a constant search for new technology. At its best, technology can make our lives easier and, when properly used, it can even save us money. People are willing to endure the longest lines and the busiest press conferences for a glimpse of the latest iSomething. However, for residents of Puerto Rico, a trip to the local supermarket is all it takes to be surrounded by tech goodies.
