How to Pack Doors Inline: Manual Loading, Automatic Ring Wrapping

Executive summary This clip shows doors packed inline with our horizontal ring wrapper. Operators place each door on the infeed conveyor table, the door runs through the turning ring and is spiral wrapped in stretch film, and it leaves on the outfeed table for the next step. The close-up shows the film roll riding on the ring.

What we set per door

Setting Depends on
Ring size Door width and thickness
Overlap Edge protection needed
Conveyor speed Doors per hour
Film Width and thickness

Selection checklist

  • Door length, width and thickness.
  • Door weight.
  • Doors per hour.
  • Finish to protect.
  • Film width.
  • 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: Which steps are automatic? A: Operators load each door; the conveyor and the turning ring then wrap it in stretch film automatically.

Q: How many turns does a door need? A: 14 turns for a 2,100 mm door at 40% overlap with 250 mm film in the worked example.

Q: Can it be linked to my line? A: Yes, the infeed and outfeed tables connect to your conveyors.

Q: Does film protect the door edges? A: Yes, overlap is set so edges are covered.

Q: What sizes fit? A: The ring and tables are sized to your doors.

Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.
