Integrated directly into powered roller conveyor networks, the system receives palletized carton loads, applies programmed pre-stretch film via a driven turntable, cuts and wipes the film tail automatically, and discharges the secured unit downstream. Below is an engineering walkthrough of the operating cycle, mechanical reference values, and a structured Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) verification checklist to cross-reference during pre-shipment sign-off.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"985\" height=\"566\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/evbjOuhROQo\" title=\"Automatic Pallet Wrapping Machine Test Run In The Factory\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<h2 id=\"table-of-contents\">Table of Contents<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#video\">What the machine does<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#inline-layout\">How the inline layout works<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#reference-values\">Reference values for an inline pallet wrapper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#test-run-checks\">What to check on a factory test run<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#film-program\">Film program and number of layers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#selection-checklist\">Selection checklist for an inline pallet wrapper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#safety\">Controls and safety<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#next-step\">Next step<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#related-reading\">Related reading<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sources\">Sources<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"video\">What the machine does<\/h2>\n<p>The turntable sits between the infeed and outfeed roller conveyors at the same roller height, so the pallet rolls straight through.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The pallet runs onto the turntable rollers and stops in position.<\/li>\n<li>The turntable accelerates to its set speed while the powered pre-stretch carriage runs up and down the mast, laying film.<\/li>\n<li>At the end of the cycle, the film is clamped, cut and wiped against the load.<\/li>\n<li>The turntable homes, its roller track lines up with the outfeed, and the pallet rolls out.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The PLC and HMI run the sequence; the operator watches from the console.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"inline-layout\">How the inline layout works<\/h2>\n<p>An inline pallet wrapper is a conveyor segment, not a side station:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>[Infeed powered conveyor] \u2192 [integrated roller turntable] \u2192 [outfeed powered conveyor]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>The turntable carries its own driven rollers on the same plane, so pallets pass straight through.<\/li>\n<li>Forklifts load at the line start and collect at the end; no truck enters the wrap cell.<\/li>\n<li>Upstream interlocks hold a load back until the turntable has homed, so nothing queues against a turning bed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For another conveyor-fed configuration, see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/automatic-pallet-turntable-stretch-wrapper-wrapping-machine\/\">turntable pallet wrapper with conveyor<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"reference-values\">Reference values for an inline pallet wrapper<\/h2>\n<p>The values below are the verified design baselines from our B100 and B200 wrappers:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Parameter<\/th>\n<th>B100 Baseline<\/th>\n<th>B200 Baseline<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Turntable diameter<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>2200 mm<\/td>\n<td>1800 mm or 2000 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Turntable load capacity<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>max 2000 kg<\/td>\n<td>2000 kg (option 2500\u20133000 kg)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Turntable speed<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>max 12 rpm<\/td>\n<td>3\u201312 rpm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pre-stretch ratio<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>250% (100\u2013300%)<\/td>\n<td>up to 200%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Throughput output<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>min. 24 loads\/hour<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Film specification<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>LLDPE 0.025 mm, 500 mm wide, 76 mm core<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Packing height<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<td>2800 mm (option)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Pneumatic air supply<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>6\u20138 kgf\/cm\u00b2 (about 0.6\u20130.8 MPa)<\/td>\n<td>\u2014<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><em>Note: Use these values as baseline targets during FAT verification.

For CE markets, EN 415-6 sets the safety requirements for pallet wrapping machines and ISO 12100 the risk-assessment method.<\/p>\n<p>A PLC with HMI runs the line. The turntable uses soft start and stop so the load does not shift. Guards and light curtains at the conveyor entries stop motion if someone enters the cell, and the e-stop also dumps the clamp and cutter air.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: Is this machine an inline turntable or a rotary arm wrapper?\nA: An inline turntable \u2014 the rotating base carries its own driven roller bed, so pallets index straight through.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How many loads per hour can an inline turntable wrapper process?\nA: The B100 is rated at least 24 loads\/hour [manufacturer rating]; actual output depends on wrap counts and conveyor indexing.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What is the maximum payload rating for the turntable?\nA: 2000 kg on both B100 and B200, with 2500\u20133000 kg options on the B200.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Does an operator need to tie or tuck the stretch film manually?\nA: No. A pneumatic clamp holds the leading edge and the cut-and-wipe seals the tail.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What pre-stretch ratios can be evaluated during the test run?\nA: The B100 runs 250% pre-stretch (100\u2013300% by gearing); the B200 up to 200%.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can an automated top sheet system be integrated with an inline wrapper?\nA: Yes. A top film dispenser such as the B300 platform [manufacturer rating] lays a cover for five-sided protection. That is a film layer, not the pneumatic top press on semi-automatic machines, which holds light stacks down during rotation.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<p>We quote an inline turntable cell in three steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Submit your layout drawing<\/strong> with pallet size, weight, roller height and throughput, to <strong>info@fhopepack.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive a proposal within 48 hours<\/strong>, with footprint, drives, cycle time and film figures.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book a site survey<\/strong> so we verify the conveyor interface, flow direction and the guarded zone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/turntable-stretch-wrapper-b200\/\">Turntable Stretch Wrapper B200: Inline Roller Turntable with Pneumatic Top Plate<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/fully-automatic-pallet-wrapping-machinery-line\/\">Fully Automatic Pallet Wrapping Machinery Line: Cycle Time, Load Size and Film per Shift<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/palllet-wrapping-machine-with-auto-film-cutting\/\">Pallet Wrapping Machine with Automatic Film Cutting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Automatic-pallet-wrapping-machine\/\">Automatic pallet wrapping machine<\/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=evbjOuhROQo\">the test run video on YouTube<\/a><\/li>\n<li>B100 values: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Automatic-pallet-wrapping-machine\/pallet-wrapping-machine-B100.html\">pallet wrapping machine B100<\/a><\/li>\n<li>B200 values: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Automatic-pallet-wrapping-machine\/pallet-wrapping-machine-B200.html\">pallet wrapping machine B200<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Clamp\/cut\/wipe and carriage programs: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Automatic-pallet-wrapping-machine\/\">Automatic pallet wrapping machine<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Standards scope: ISO 12100:2010; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nen.nl\/en\/nen-en-415-6-2013-en-183810\">EN 415-6:2013<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Proposal timing: approved house CTA (proposal within 48 hours)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Last reviewed:<\/strong> 2026-10-29<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive summary A factory test run of an automatic inline pallet wrapper verifies how the automated packaging cell behaves under dynamic line conditions before shipment.
