Horizontal Coil Wrapping Machine: Automatic Eye-Through Solutions
Efficient, secure, and uniform protection for Steel, Copper, and Hose Coils using advanced orbital wrapping technology.
The Horizontal Coil Wrapping Machine, widely recognized in the industrial packaging sector as a Coil Stretch Wrapper or Orbital Wrapper, is engineered for the specific "eye-through" packaging method. Unlike vertical turntable systems, this machine rotates the film carriage through the center of the coil, creating a completely sealed, secure, and moisture-proof package.
Why Choose a Horizontal Coil Wrapping Machine?
In the metal and plastic processing industries, surface integrity is everything. A standard packing process might secure the load, but a dedicated wrapping machine ensures product quality preservation.
Superior Surface Protection
Multiple layers of LLDPE stretch film or paper create a barrier against dust, moisture, and scratches throughout transport and storage.
Tight & Uniform Tension
Our active tension control system ensures the wrapping material is applied with consistent force, preventing loose film or product deformation.
High Efficiency
Automate the most labor-intensive part of your line. Our machines can wrap a coil in seconds, significantly faster than manual wrapping.
Versatile Eye-Through
Designed specifically for ring-shaped products, ensuring the inner and outer diameters are fully covered with complete 360° protection.
Horizontal Wrapping Machine Applications
Our coil stretch wrappers serve diverse industries with tailored solutions for different materials and coil configurations.

The Wrapping Process: How It Works
Our automatic coil wrapping machines are designed for simplicity and speed. Here is the typical workflow for eye-through orbital wrapping.
Loading
The coil is placed on the wrapping station via conveyor, hoist, or manual trolley.
Positioning
The machine automatically centers the coil to ensure the ring can pass through the eye.
Wrapping
The ring (orbital arm) rotates, carrying the film roll through the coil eye. Rollers rotate the coil 360° for even coverage.
Cutting & Sealing
Once the wrapping cycle is complete, the automatic cutter slices the film, and the wiper seals the tail end.
Unloading
The wrapped coil is ejected or moved to the next station for strapping or stacking.
Packing vs. Wrapping: What's the Difference?
Understanding the terminology helps in selecting the right equipment for your production line. While often used interchangeably in the industry, these terms refer to different aspects of coil protection.
Coil Wrapping
What This Page Focuses OnCoil Wrapping specifically refers to the action of applying protective layers (film, paper, or fabric) around the product itself. It is focused on protection and surface quality preservation. This is what the horizontal orbital machines on this page excel at.
- Eye-through orbital motion - Film passes through coil center
- Multiple material layers - LLDPE stretch film, paper, VCI film
- Active tension control - Consistent wrapping force
- Surface quality focus - Dust, moisture, scratch protection
Coil Packing
The Complete End-of-Line ProcessCoil Packing is a broader term that encompasses the entire end-of-line process, including wrapping, strapping, stacking, weighing, and palletizing. It refers to preparing coils completely for shipment and storage.
- Wrapping station - Inner protective layer (this machine)
- Strapping system - Steel/PET band securing
- Stacking & handling - Automated coil positioning
- Weighing & labeling - Complete shipment preparation
