Our FPT-200 takes tyres with a 300\u2013700 mm bore and 510\u2013800 mm outside diameter, up to 250 mm wide and 30 kg, with a ring speed of up to 120 r\/min. A small tyre takes about 18\u201330 s. Below we show how overlap sets the speed, a motorcycle tyre example, and tyres per hour and per shift.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"940\" height=\"535\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pOD1YeOfgBU?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<p>The tyre stands upright on drive rollers while the white wrapping ring passes through its bore, laying a spiral of film round the section.

The number of wraps comes from the tyre size and the overlap:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wraps = \u03c0 \u00d7 OD \u00f7 advance per wrap<\/strong>, where the advance is the film width \u00d7 (1 \u2212 overlap).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ring time = wraps \u00f7 ring speed.<\/strong> At 120 r\/min the ring makes two wraps a second.<\/p>\n<p>So overlap is the main speed lever. Less overlap means fewer wraps and a faster cycle, but a thinner cover. The FPT-200 sets overlap from 10 to 80%. Soft start and stop by inverter keeps the tyre steady at full ring speed, and a brake in the film roller holds the tension. Film roll size, the film cut method and tyre unloading are confirmed at quote.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"data\">FPT-200 data<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Item<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">FPT-200<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Tyre bore (ID)<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">300\u2013700 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Tyre OD<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">510\u2013800 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Tyre width<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">40\u2013250 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Tyre weight<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">10\u201330 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Ring speed<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">0\u2013120 r\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Wrapping time<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">18\u201330 s per tyre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Overlap<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">10\u201380%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Power<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">1.5 kW<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Voltage<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">AC 380 V, 50 Hz, or to order<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Loading<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">from the top, C ring opens upward<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Operation<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">automatic or semi-automatic, touch screen with error display<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"example\">Worked example: a 90\/90-18 motorcycle tyre<\/h2>\n<p>Take a 90\/90-18 tyre wrapped with 100 mm film.
