Why tire wrapping lines matter
Tires need protection before storage and shipment.

Frequently asked questions
What tire sizes can the line handle? Confirm the maximum tire diameter and width.
Is the line fully automatic? The video shows automatic wrapping. Confirm which steps remain manual, such as feeding.
What film types are used? The video shows blue film. Confirm the supported film types and widths.
What maintenance does the line need? Typical checks cover the wrapping arms and conveyor. Request the maintenance schedule and spare-parts list.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Oversized tires. A tire too large for the arms cannot be wrapped.
- Wrong film tension. Loose film leaves poor protection.
- Misaligned feed. Misaligned tires wrap unevenly.
- Ignoring strap checks. Loose straps let the film shift.
Where this line is used
Tire wrapping lines are used for:
- Tire manufacturers packaging finished tires.
- Distributors protecting tires for shipment.
- Retail warehouses preparing tire stock.

What to verify with the manufacturer
- Tire envelope — maximum size and weight.
- Film and strap specs — supported types.
- Cycle time — tires per hour.

Operating notes
- Center the tire. A centered tire wraps evenly.
- Check the film roll. Reload before it runs out.

Maintenance checklist
- Inspect the wrapping arms weekly.
- Check the film feed and conveyor.
- Clean the working area.
- Test the emergency stop before each shift.
