Rollers turn the tyre while the ring rotates through the bead opening, so film spirals around the tread and sidewalls. The ring returns to its start position and resets automatically after each tyre.<\/p>\n<p>A cylinder bracket supports the roller, so light tyres do not shake during wrapping. In our video, the operator loads the tyre from the top and the ring wraps it in place.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Tyre-packing-machine-jpg.webp\" alt=\"Vertical tyre packing machine with top-loading ring for car tyres\" width=\"800\" height=\"786\" class=\"skip-lazy\">\n<figcaption><strong>Vertical tyre packing machine.<\/strong> The ring opens at the top for loading and unloading.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"tyre-code\">From tyre code to OD and ID<\/h2>\n<p>A PCR tyre code such as 205\/55R16 gives the section width in mm, the aspect ratio in percent and the rim diameter in inches.
