The Octopus 1717C is competitively priced to automatic rotary arm and turntable machines in the30-50 LPH range.  With its compact size, the new wrapper is versatile and efficient, making it the perfect load containment solution for the craft brew industry.

“We built the Octopus 1717C to give customers all the benefits they’ve come to expect from our Octopus rotary ring stretch wrap machines in a smaller footprint while providing optimal load containment and minimizing film usage” says Neil Weisensel, Product Manager, Muller LCS. “It’s also a highly intuitive machine to operate and install considering its capabilities.”
