Executive summary This test clip shows our horizontal ring wrapper on boards and cabinet panels. Panels run along the roller conveyor through the ring, which applies two layers of packing material in one pass, and leave fully covered. Two layers let a soft inner layer protect the surface while an outer film holds it.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Infeed | Panels on the roller conveyor |
| Ring | The horizontal ring turns around the panel |
| Two layers | Two packing materials go on in one pass |
| Cover | The panel is covered end to end |
| Outfeed | Wrapped panels leave on rollers |
Why two layers
- Inner layer. Foam or paper protects the surface.
- Outer layer. Stretch film holds it tight.
- One pass. Both layers go on together.
- Clean edges. Corners stay covered.
Material per panel
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Panel length (illustrative) | 2,000 mm |
| Material width (illustrative) | 250 mm |
| Overlap (illustrative) | 50% |
| Advance per turn, 250 × 0.5 | 125 mm |
| Turns per panel, 2,000 ÷ 125 | 16 |
End wraps at the start and finish are added on top.
What we set per panel
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Ring size | Panel section |
| Materials | Inner and outer layer |
| Overlap | Protection needed |
| Conveyor | Panel length |
Selection checklist
- Panel length, width and thickness.
- Panel weight.
- Inner and outer material.
- Overlap.
- Panels per hour.
- Line layout.
Safety
- Keep clear of moving stations.
- Stay outside the fence while the line runs.
- Lock out before clearing a jam.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Engineering FAQ
Q: Why two layers? A: A soft inner layer protects the surface and outer film holds it.
Q: Are both layers applied together? A: Yes, in one pass.
Q: How many turns per panel? A: 16 turns for a 2 m panel in the worked example.
Q: What products suit it? A: Boards and cabinet panels as tested in the clip; other flat items we check first.
Q: Is it inline? A: Yes, panels come and go on rollers.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
