Executive summary This clip shows our online paper roll wrapping machine. Each upright roll arrives on a red turntable conveyor, which corrects its position, then roller conveyors carry it into a white gantry where a red rotary ring wraps it while a top press holds it steady. The roll leaves wrapped and moves on down the line with no operator.

What the clip shows
| Step | What you see |
|---|---|
| Infeed | An upright paper roll on a red turntable conveyor |
| Correction | The conveyor turns to correct the roll position |
| Transfer | Roller conveyors carry the roll to the wrapper |
| Wrapping | A red rotary ring wraps the roll under a top press |
| Outfeed | The wrapped roll leaves on the conveyor |
Why centre the roll first
- Even wrap. A centred roll gets the same film tension all round.
- No knocks. The ring does not touch an off-centre roll.
- Stable roll. The top press holds tall rolls steady while the ring turns.
- Online. Rolls arrive and leave on conveyors with no operator.
Film per roll
Worked example (illustrative).
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Roll diameter (illustrative) | 1,000 mm |
| Roll height (illustrative) | 1,200 mm |
| Girth, 3.14 × 1,000 | about 3,140 mm |
| Film width 500 mm at 50% overlap, advance 250 mm | 250 mm |
| Turns over the height, 1,200 ÷ 250 | about 5 turns |
| Film laid per layer before stretch, 5 × 3,140 | about 15.7 m |
Top and bottom wraps and pre-stretch change the total.
What we set per line
| Setting | Depends on |
|---|---|
| Correction | Roll diameter range |
| Top press | Roll height |
| Film | Layers and overlap |
| Conveyor | Line height and speed |
Selection checklist
- Roll diameter and height.
- Roll weight.
- Film layers.
- Rolls per hour.
- Conveyor height.
- Top and bottom cover needed or not.
Safety
- Keep clear of the ring and top press while they move.
- Stay outside the fenced cell.
- Lock out before clearing a film jam.
- For CE markets, the machine is designed to ISO 12100 and EN 415-6.
Engineering FAQ
Q: Why correct the roll position? A: A centred roll gets an even wrap and the ring does not touch it.
Q: What does the top press do? A: It holds tall rolls steady while the ring wraps them.
Q: How many turns does a roll need? A: Height divided by spiral advance; about 5 turns in the worked example.
Q: Is it fully online? A: Yes, rolls come and go on conveyors.
Q: Can it wrap other upright loads? A: Yes, other upright round loads within the size range.
Q: Which standards apply? A: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-6.
