Executive summary This video shows a complete orbital wrapping cycle for a long bundle of metal profiles: it enters on a roller conveyor, a rotating arm spirals stretch film around it inside a guarded enclosure, and a fully wrapped bundle exits — all within roughly 16 seconds of footage. The machine is linear, enclosed by a safety cage, and controlled from a panel with start, stop, and emergency-stop functions.
Why this machine exists
Long, straight products — aluminum extrusions, steel tubes, pipes, plastic profiles — are awkward to protect by hand. Workers walking around a bundle with a film roll produce loose, uneven wraps, and the ends of the bundle often stay exposed. An orbital stretch wrap packaging machine solves this by keeping the product stationary while a rotating ring or arm travels around it, applying stretch film in a tight, continuous spiral.
The video on this page shows exactly that process, from bare bundle to fully wrapped bundle, with no narration — only the machine at work.
What the video shows: the machine in action
The footage follows one complete cycle, stage by stage:
| Time | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0–4s | A long rectangular bundle of silver metal profiles, partially wrapped, travels on a green roller conveyor toward the white enclosed machine. |
| 4–8s | The bundle moves fully inside the machine’s enclosure. The rotating arm and film roll are visible through the wire-mesh safety cage. Film is drawn from the roll and begins to wrap. |
| 8–12s | A close-up shows the rotating arm circling the stationary bundle, stretching clear film and applying it in a spiral pattern. |
| 12–16s | The camera pulls back: the bundle exits fully encased in a tight layer of film and continues down the conveyor. |
The key point is that the product does not rotate. The film ring rotates around it. This is what makes the machine practical for long profiles that would be difficult or unsafe to spin on their own axis.
Machine structure at a glance
From what is visible in the video:
- Main frame and enclosure: white painted steel; linear layout — product feeds in from the left, wraps in the center, exits right.
- Wrap station: enclosed by a silver metal wire-mesh safety cage with a latched door.
- Rotating arm: holds the film dispenser; yellow and white internal components, including film guide rollers.
- Film system: a large roll of clear stretch film plus a film tensioning and cutting mechanism.
- Conveyor: green roller conveyor on both sides of the wrap zone.
- Control panel: gray box on the right side near the exit, with a digital display, a red emergency-stop button, a green start button, a yellow button, and a black rotary knob — likely for setting adjustment, though its exact function should be confirmed with the manufacturer.
- Labeling: a small white “F70V” label appears on the machine frame in the opening shot; a red and white warning label is visible near the control panel. Confirm the model designation and its meaning with the manufacturer before ordering.
Direct observation notes
- The video opens on a wide factory-floor shot; a long rectangular bundle of metal profiles, partially wrapped in clear plastic film, moves on a green roller conveyor toward a large white enclosed machine.
- The camera moves closer to the control panel and wrap zone; the bundle sits fully inside the enclosure, and the rotating arm and film roll are visible through the safety cage as film begins to wrap.
- A zoom shot shows the rotating arm, which holds the film dispenser, moving in a circular path around the stationary bundle; clear film is stretched and applied in a spiral pattern; a red air hose is prominent in the foreground.
- The camera pulls back to a wider view; the fully wrapped bundle exits the machine and continues along the conveyor toward the end of the line.
- Visible controls: digital display screen, red emergency-stop button, green start button, yellow button, black rotary knob.
- A watermark reading “FHOPE GROUP PACKING SOLUTION FOR YOU” and “www.fhopepack.com” is visible throughout.
What the video does not show
The footage demonstrates the wrapping motion, but several facts a buyer needs are not observable:
- Rated capacity — maximum bundle weight and cross-section.
- Machine dimensions — confirm footprint and height against your floor plan.
- Cycle time — the video is ~16 seconds of edited footage; real cycle times depend on bundle length and wrap overlap settings.
- Power requirements — voltage, phase, and amperage.
- Certifications — CE or other safety/quality marks are not visible.
- Film specifications — film gauge, width, and type are not stated.
- Model details — the “F70V” marking appears on the frame but is not explained.
Treat all of the above as verify with the manufacturer items.
Where this machine fits
Based on the product shown, this type of machine suits:
- Aluminum and steel extrusion bundles
- Pipes, tubes, and rods bundled in uniform lengths
- Any long, linear product needing dust, scratch, and moisture protection before transport or storage
It is not the right fit for irregularly shaped, very short, or very heavy single items — the orbital design works best on long bundles with a consistent cross-section. For those cases, a turntable wrapper or a rotary-ring machine may be a better match.
Safety features observed
- Full wire-mesh cage around the moving wrap mechanism
- Latched cage door acting as an interlock, designed to stop operation when open
- Prominent red emergency-stop button on the control panel
- Warning label on the machine frame
These are visible features only. Full interlock behavior and compliance details should be confirmed in writing before purchase.
Buyer checklist
Before requesting a quotation, prepare answers to these questions:
- What is the maximum length, weight, and cross-section of your bundles?
- What throughput (bundles per hour) do you need?
- What is your available power supply at the installation site?
- Do you need automatic film cut and clamp, or will an operator trim the tail?
- What film width and gauge do you currently use — and can the machine accept it?
- How much floor space do you have for the machine plus infeed and outfeed conveyor?
Frequently asked questions
Does the product rotate during wrapping? No. In the video, the bundle stays stationary on the conveyor while the rotating arm circles it. This suits long profiles that should not be spun.
How long does a wrap cycle take? The video shows a complete sequence in about 16 seconds, but it is edited footage. Actual cycle time depends on bundle length and the number of wrap passes — check with the manufacturer.
What products can it handle? The video shows a bundle of metal profiles. Similar machines are used for pipes, hoses, and other long extruded products. Suitability for your specific product — check with the manufacturer.
Is the machine enclosed? Yes. A wire-mesh safety cage surrounds the wrap zone, with a latched door and an emergency-stop button on the control panel.
What is the “F70V” label on the frame? It is visible in the video but not explained. Verify the model designation with the manufacturer.
