Executive summary This clip shows an online tyre wrapping line. Tyres run in on a roller conveyor, stop in a ring wrapper, and the ring winds stretch film through the bead hole and over the tread while the tyre turns. Our mark is not visible on the machine in this clip, so below we describe our equivalent solution: our automatic horizontal tyre stretch wrapper takes tyres of 600–1,400 mm OD and wraps one in 25–35 s.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Infeed | A tyre runs in on a powered roller conveyor toward the wrapper |
| Wrapper | A vertical ring wrapper with a yellow mesh guard and a film carriage on the ring |
| Wrapping | The tyre stops in the ring, and the ring winds film through the bead hole while the tyre turns |
| Line | Further down the hall, a second wrapper and more roller conveyors handle the next tyres |
| Result | The last frame shows tyres sealed in clear stretch film on the outfeed rollers |
Full film cover keeps dust and moisture off the tread and sidewalls in storage and transport.
How the ring covers the tyre
- Two motions. The ring turns through the bead hole while rollers turn the tyre, so the film spirals round the whole section.
- Overlap. Each turn overlaps the last, so the tyre ends up in a sealed film package.
- Mixed sizes. The machine positions on the tyre OD, so different tyre sizes can run on one line.
- Online. Tyres feed in and out on powered rollers, so no one lifts them at the wrapper.
Our equivalent machine data
Our equivalent is our automatic horizontal tyre stretch wrapper: the tyre lies flat on the rollers and the ring turns upright through it. Our published data:
| Item | Published value |
|---|---|
| Tyre weight | 10–100 kg |
| Tyre height (section width) | 150–350 mm |
| Tyre OD | 600–1,400 mm |
| Tyre ID | 300–900 mm |
| Roller speed | 2–4 m/min |
| Packing speed | 25–35 s per piece |
| Ring speed | 10–120 r/min |
| Air supply | 5–7 bar |
| Power | About 4.0 kW, 380 V 50 Hz 3-phase |
| Stretch film | ID 50 mm, OD 80–120 mm, 90–120 mm wide |
| Other materials | Paper, PE film or aluminium foil |
Each machine is customized, so the conveyor, guards and film are matched to your tyres.
Tyres per hour
Worked example (illustrative). At 25 s per piece the wrapper handles 3,600 ÷ 25 = 144 tyres per hour. At 35 s per piece it handles 3,600 ÷ 35 ≈ 103 tyres per hour. These are gross wrapper figures; line output also depends on roller transfer and film cutting, so the conveyor and any stacking after it are sized to match.
Selection checklist
- Tyre OD, ID, section width and weight.
- Mixed sizes on one line or one size per batch.
- Stretch film, paper or PE film.
- Tyres per hour.
- Infeed from the curing or inspection line.
- Outfeed to stacking or palletizing.
Safety
- Keep clear of the ring while it turns; the mesh guard stays closed in operation.
- Stop the line before clearing a film break.
- Keep hands away from the film carriage and cutter.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
Engineering FAQ
Q: How does the film cover the whole tyre? A: The ring winds film through the bead hole while the tyre turns, so the film spirals round the full section.
Q: What tyre sizes fit our equivalent machine? A: OD 600–1,400 mm, ID 300–900 mm, section width 150–350 mm and 10–100 kg, on our published data.
Q: How long does one tyre take? A: 25–35 s per piece on our published data.
Q: How many tyres per hour? A: About 103–144 per hour at the wrapper in the worked example.
Q: Can different tyre sizes run on one line? A: Yes. The machine positions on the tyre OD automatically.
Q: Which materials can it use? A: Stretch film, paper, PE film or aluminium foil.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
