The yellow film carriage runs along the top beam, and the film drops from it onto the roll as the roll turns. The film builds up round the roll from one end to the other, and the roll is fully covered when the carriage finishes its pass.<\/p>\n<p>The control panel sits on the right-hand column, and a warning sign is fixed to the left column.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-works\">How radial roll wrapping works<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Part<\/th>\n<th>What it does<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Cradle<\/td>\n<td>Holds the roll on its side and turns it<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Top beam<\/td>\n<td>Carries the film carriage over the roll<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film carriage<\/td>\n<td>Travels along the roll and feeds stretch film<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Control panel<\/td>\n<td>Sets roll turns, carriage speed and overlap<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The roll turns, and the carriage moves along it, so the film lays on as a spiral round the outside. Because the roll lies flat on the cradle, the cloth is never stood on its end. The roll does not have to be lifted onto a turntable either.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"turns\">Estimating roll turns and film<\/h2>\n<p>The carriage moves a set distance for each turn of the roll. Illustrative example for a roll 1,600 mm long and 400 mm in diameter, with 500 mm film at 50% overlap:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Item<\/th>\n<th>Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Roll length<\/td>\n<td>1,600 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Advance per roll turn, 500 \u00d7 0.5<\/td>\n<td>250 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Roll turns to cover the length<\/td>\n<td>about 7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Roll circumference, \u03c0 \u00d7 400 mm<\/td>\n<td>1,257 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film laid on the roll surface, 7 \u00d7 1.257 m<\/td>\n<td>about 8.8 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Extra turns at each end hold the film edge and cover the roll ends better.

A tight wrap on a soft roll can leave lines in the outer layers.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"safety\">Controls and safety<\/h2>\n<p>The control panel is on the right-hand column of the frame, and a warning sign marks the frame. Keep clear of the turning roll and the moving carriage while the machine runs.<\/p>\n<p>The standards that apply depend on the destination market. For CE markets, ISO 12100 sets the risk-assessment method and EN 415-10 sets general requirements for packaging machines.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"selection-checklist\">Selection checklist for a roll stretch wrapper<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Roll diameter and length, smallest to largest.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Roll weight.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Fabric type and how easily it marks.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Film cover only, or film plus end caps.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Rolls per hour.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> How rolls are loaded: crane, forklift or conveyor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: Does the roll stand up during wrapping?\nA: No. It lies on its side in the cradle and turns, while the carriage travels along the top beam.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How many turns does a roll need?\nA: Roll length divided by the advance per turn gives the traverse turns, about 7 in our 1,600 mm example. End turns are added on top of that.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How much film goes on one roll?\nA: About 8.8 m in our example, for a 400 mm roll with 500 mm film at 50% overlap.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Will the film mark soft fabric?\nA: It can if the tension is too high. Set it low for soft rolls and test on your own fabric.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Are the roll ends covered?\nA: Extra turns at each end fold the film over the edges. Separate end caps can be added if needed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<p>We plan your roll stretch wrapper in three steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Submit your layout drawing<\/strong> with roll sizes, weights and output to <strong>info@fhopepack.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive a proposal within 48 hours<\/strong>, with the frame size and wrap program.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book a site survey<\/strong> to check roll loading and floor space.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Customize-orbital-wrapper\/Horizontal_orbital-stretch-wrapper.html\">Horizontal orbital stretch wrapper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Automatic-horizontal-stretch-wrapper\/E300-horizontal-stretch-wrapper.html\">E300 horizontal stretch wrapper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/horizontal-stretch-wrapper-for-paper-light-products\/\">Video: horizontal stretch wrapper for light paper products<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Machine content: FHOPE engineering team, 2026-10-04<\/li>\n<li>Turns and film example: our worked example, illustrative values<\/li>\n<li>Machine in action: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XRU20a_M3_4\">our video on YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Standards scope: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/51528.html\">ISO 12100:2010<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nen.nl\/en\/nen-en-415-10-2014-en-191845\">EN 415-10:2014<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Last reviewed:<\/strong> 2026-10-04<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive summary A fabric roll has to be wrapped round its whole outside without flattening it or pulling the cloth out of line.
