The conveyor feeds each tyre in flat, and an automatic positioning device centres it on its OD. In our demonstration run, two vertical rollers come down on either side of the tyre and hold it in place while it is wrapped.<\/p>\n<p>The ring then turns through the tyre eye while the tyre rotates, so film covers the tyre surface through 360 degrees as a sealed package. Film feeding and cutting are automatic. When the wrap is complete, the rollers release the tyre and the conveyor carries it out while the next tyre comes in.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Tyre-packing-machines4.jpg\" alt=\"Automatic horizontal tyre packing machine with wrapping ring over a roller conveyor in a tyre packing line\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" class=\"skip-lazy\">\n<figcaption><strong>Automatic horizontal tyre stretch wrapper.<\/strong> Powered roller conveyor for infeed and outfeed.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"size-window\">Size window<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Parameter<\/th>\n<th>Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Tyre OD<\/td>\n<td>600\u20131,400 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tyre ID<\/td>\n<td>300\u2013900 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tyre height (section width, lying flat)<\/td>\n<td>150\u2013350 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tyre weight<\/td>\n<td>10\u2013100 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Packing time<\/td>\n<td>25\u201335 s per tyre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ring speed<\/td>\n<td>10\u2013120 r\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Roller conveyor speed<\/td>\n<td>2\u20134 m\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The wrapper handles different tyre ODs on the same line, so a mixed product range does not need a changeover for each size. The ID still matters: the ring passes through the tyre eye, so your smallest ID must be 300 mm or more.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"line-takt\">Matching cycle time to line takt<\/h2>\n<p>One hour has 3,600 s, so the packing time sets the wrapper&#8217;s capacity ceiling. Conveyor transfer can add to it, as the next section shows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>At 25 s per tyre:<\/strong> 3,600 \u00f7 25 = 144 tyres per hour.<\/li>\n<li><strong>At 35 s per tyre:<\/strong> 3,600 \u00f7 35 = about 102 tyres per hour.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Compare this with your line. Illustrative example: a line that delivers one tyre every 30 s needs 120 tyres per hour. The wrapper keeps up at 25 s per tyre but not at 35 s. If your largest tyres need the longer cycle, we plan a buffer conveyor or a second wrapper. We confirm the cycle for your largest and smallest tyres on a trial.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conveyor-transfer\">Conveyor transfer time<\/h2>\n<p>The roller conveyor runs at 2\u20134 m\/min. A tyre must travel at least its own diameter to clear the wrapping position:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Tyre OD<\/th>\n<th>At 2 m\/min<\/th>\n<th>At 4 m\/min<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>600 mm<\/td>\n<td>18 s<\/td>\n<td>9 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>1,000 mm<\/td>\n<td>30 s<\/td>\n<td>15 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>A 1,000 mm tyre at 2 m\/min needs 30 s just to move out, which is longer than the shortest packing time.

Your smallest ID also limits the roll size, so we check both.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How many tyres per hour can it wrap?\nA: At 25\u201335 s per tyre, about 102\u2013144 tyres per hour, which we confirm on a trial.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Does it need a changeover for each tyre size?\nA: No. It works for different tyre ODs at the same time, within the size window.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What if my line is faster than the wrapper?\nA: For example, a 120 tyre per hour line needs a cycle of 30 s or less. If the largest tyres take longer, we add a buffer conveyor or a second wrapper.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What utilities does it need?\nA: About 4.0 kW at 380 V, 50 Hz, 3 phase, and compressed air at 5\u20137 bar.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<p>We size your inline tyre wrapper in three steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Submit your layout drawing<\/strong> with your tyre list and line takt to <strong>info@fhopepack.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive a proposal within 48 hours<\/strong>, with the wrapper, conveyors and cycle plan.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book a site survey<\/strong> to fit the wrapper into your line.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Tyre-packing-machine\/tyre-wrapper.html\">Automatic horizontal tyre stretch wrapper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Tyre-packing-machine\/\">Tyre packing machine range<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/how-to-automated-the-tyre-packing-and-storage-in-stream-line\/\">Video: automated tyre packing and storage line<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/high-speed-tyre-packing-line-tyre-automatic-packing-system\/\">Video: high speed tyre packing line<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/automated-horizontal-tire-wrapping-line-seamless-upstream-downstream-integration\/\">Video: automated horizontal tire wrapping line<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Size window, packing time, conveyor, film rolls, utilities: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Tyre-packing-machine\/tyre-wrapper.html\">automatic horizontal tyre stretch wrapper page<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Machine in action: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WdJGU5bEyHg\">our automatic tyre packing machine 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 Our automatic tyre packing machine wraps tyres lying flat on a roller conveyor, so it runs inline with no manual loading.
