The gantry lifts the panel, travels along the blue overhead beam and lowers it onto a stack on the outfeed conveyor, then goes back for the next one. A worker watches from a control station in the background.<\/p>\n<p>Later a stack of extra-long panels, covered in light-cyan film on its sides and ends, moves along the roller line into the large blue-framed wrapping station, where a green lamp shows on the control cabinet.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-works\">How the panel line works<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Step<\/th>\n<th>What happens<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Pick<\/td>\n<td>The vacuum gantry lifts a panel off the conveyor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Stack<\/td>\n<td>It lowers the panel onto the stack<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Feed<\/td>\n<td>The stack runs on the roller line<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrap<\/td>\n<td>The orbital ring wraps film around the stack as it passes<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Out<\/td>\n<td>The wrapped stack leaves on the outfeed rollers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Vacuum cups hold each board flat along its length, so long panels do not sag or rub while they are moved.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"passes\">Film advance and wrap passes along the stack<\/h2>\n<p>Illustrative example:<\/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>Stack length (illustrative)<\/td>\n<td>6,000 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film width (illustrative)<\/td>\n<td>250 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Advance per ring turn at 50% overlap<\/td>\n<td>125 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ring turns along the stack, 6,000 \u00f7 125<\/td>\n<td>48<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>End turns (illustrative)<\/td>\n<td>2 + 2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total ring turns<\/td>\n<td>52<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Slowing the conveyor or speeding up the ring raises the overlap.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cover\">Dust cover for long panels<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Need<\/th>\n<th>How the line handles it<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Dust on faces<\/td>\n<td>Overlapping film on all four sides<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dust at the ends<\/td>\n<td>Extra turns reinforce both ends; we add end covering where needed<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Scratches<\/td>\n<td>Vacuum handling, no sliding<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bending<\/td>\n<td>Support along the full length<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Tell us the panel lengths and stack sizes, and we size the gantry, conveyor and ring to them.

Keep people out from under the gantry and away from the ring while the line runs, and enter only with it stopped.<\/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 an extra-long panel packing line<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Panel length, width and thickness.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Stack height and weight.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Film width and overlap.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Stacks per hour.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Line length and floor space.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Infeed from your cutting or pressing line.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: Why stack with vacuum cups?\nA: They hold each board flat along its length, so long panels do not sag or rub.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How many ring turns does a stack need?\nA: About 52 for a 6,000 mm stack with 250 mm film at 50% overlap and end turns in our example.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How are the panel ends protected?\nA: Extra ring turns reinforce both ends, and we add end covering where the ends must be fully sealed.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How is overlap changed?\nA: By the conveyor speed against the ring speed.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Where is the line watched from?\nA: A control station beside the line.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<p>We plan your panel stacking and wrapping line in three steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Submit your layout drawing<\/strong> with panel sizes, stacks and output to <strong>info@fhopepack.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive a proposal within 48 hours<\/strong>, with the stacking and film plan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book a site survey<\/strong> to check the line layout 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\/videos\/horizontal-orbital-ring-stretch-wrapper-for-sheet-metal-building-materials-industry\/\">Video: horizontal orbital ring stretch wrapper for sheet metal<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/video-of-the-gypsum-packaging-line\/\">Video: gypsum board packaging line with orbital wrapper<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Line content: FHOPE engineering team, 2026-10-04<\/li>\n<li>Pass example: our worked example, illustrative values<\/li>\n<li>Machine in action: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_dkOIV0rZrQ\">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 Extra-long boards bend and scratch when people lift them, and open stacks collect dust in the yard.
