Off-centre, the film lands unevenly and the ring can touch the product. A V-shape roller fixes that:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Self-centring.<\/strong> The V cradles round and narrow products on the machine centre line.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Even wrap.<\/strong> With the product centred, film tension is the same all round.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Less setup.<\/strong> Different diameters sit in the same V without side guides to reset.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Gentle contact.<\/strong> The product rides on two roller faces instead of rolling across a flat bed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For flat bundles or panels, flat rollers with side guides are better suited; the V feed is for round, square or narrow long products.

The product must advance by the film width \u00d7 (1 \u2212 overlap) per turn.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Worked example (illustrative).<\/strong> With 200 mm film at 50% overlap, the advance is 200 \u00d7 0.5 = 100 mm per turn. At a ring speed of 90 r\/min the conveyor runs at 100 mm \u00d7 90 = 9 m\/min, inside the E300 conveyor range of 6\u201312 m\/min. For heavier protection, raise the overlap and slow the conveyor.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"selection-checklist\">Selection checklist<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Product shape: round, square, profile or flat bundle.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Product or bundle OD and length range.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Bundle weight.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Film width and target overlap.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Output target per hour.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Manual feed, or a link to the line before and after.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Floor space for infeed and outfeed beds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"safety\">Safety<\/h2>\n<p>The film ring rotates at speed around the product. In the clip the ring area sits inside a wire-mesh guard, and the operator stays outside it once the product is fed. Film change and cleaning are done with the ring stopped.<\/p>\n<p>For CE markets we apply ISO 12100 for the risk assessment and EN 415-10 for general packaging-machine requirements.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: What does the V-shape roll do?\nA: It centres round and narrow long products, so the ring wraps them evenly.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Which product sizes does your equivalent machine take?\nA: The E300 takes bundles of 100\u2013300 mm OD, over 1,000 mm long and 15\u2013100 kg.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How fast does it wrap?\nA: The ring rotates at 20\u201390 r\/min and the conveyor runs at 6\u201312 m\/min; the published wrapping speed is 5\u201315 m\/min.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How do I set the overlap?\nA: Overlap is adjustable from 10% to 90%; the conveyor speed follows from film width, overlap and ring speed.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Does it cut the film by itself?\nA: Yes, the E300 has automatic film feeding and cutting.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What film rolls and power does the E300 need?\nA: Film rolls of 100\u2013200 mm OD and 100\u2013200 mm width on a 50 mm core, and about 2.5 kW at 380 V, 60 Hz.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Which standards apply?\nA: For CE markets, ISO 12100 and EN 415-10.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<p>We size an orbital wrapper in three steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Submit your layout drawing<\/strong> with product shape, OD, length, weight and output, to <strong>info@fhopepack.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive a proposal within 48 hours<\/strong> with the feed type, ring size and film data.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book a site survey<\/strong> so we confirm the floor space and line links.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/aluminum-profile-stretch-wrapping-machine-mvi-0364\/\">Aluminum Profile Stretch Wrapping Machine for Single Profiles and Small Bundles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/automatic-bar-wrapping-machine-and-small-orbital-wrapper\/\">Automatic Bar Wrapping Machine and Small Orbital Wrapper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/horizontal-ring-orbital-stretch-wrapping-machine\/\">Horizontal Ring Orbital Stretch Wrapping Machine with Press-Down Devices<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/orbital-stretch-wrapper.html\">Orbital stretch wrapper range<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Machine in action: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BTc6z1zPSxk\">the video on YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<li>E300 sizes, speeds, overlap, film, conveyor and power data: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Automatic-horizontal-stretch-wrapper\/E300-horizontal-stretch-wrapper.html\">E300 horizontal stretch wrapper<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Film pitch: our worked arithmetic from the values above<\/li>\n<li>Standards scope: ISO 12100:2010; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nen.nl\/en\/nen-en-415-10-2014-en-191845\">EN 415-10:2014<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Proposal timing: approved house CTA (proposal within 48 hours)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Last reviewed:<\/strong> 2026-10-09<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive summary This 45 s clip shows a compact orbital stretch wrapping machine for long products, closed in a wire-mesh guard and fed over V-shape rollers.
