The table turns steadily, and clear film runs from the carriage on the tall column onto the case. The carriage moves down the column as the table turns, so the film builds up in a spiral from the top of the case to the bottom.<\/p>\n<p>The film stays tight round the case and the layers overlap evenly. The control panel on the column carries two displays, a row of buttons and a stop button.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-works\">How the luggage wrapper works<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Step<\/th>\n<th>What happens<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Load<\/td>\n<td>The case is stood upright in the middle of the turntable<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Start<\/td>\n<td>Film is attached to the case and the cycle started<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spiral wrap<\/td>\n<td>The table turns while the carriage travels along the column<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>End turns<\/td>\n<td>Extra turns at top and bottom hold the film edges<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Cut and unload<\/td>\n<td>The film is cut, the tail pressed down, the case lifted off<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Standing the case upright keeps its handle and wheels clear, and the turntable keeps the film tension even all the way round.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"turns\">Estimating turns and film<\/h2>\n<p>Illustrative example for a case 450 mm wide, 250 mm deep and 700 mm tall, with 500 mm film overlapping by half:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Item<\/th>\n<th>Value<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Case section perimeter, 2 \u00d7 (450 + 250)<\/td>\n<td>1,400 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film width (illustrative)<\/td>\n<td>500 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Advance per turn at half overlap<\/td>\n<td>250 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spiral turns, 700 \u00f7 250<\/td>\n<td>about 3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>End turns, 2 at top and 2 at bottom<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Total turns<\/td>\n<td>about 7<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film laid on the case, 7 \u00d7 1.4 m<\/td>\n<td>about 9.8 m<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>More overlap gives a tougher cover but uses more film.

For CE markets, ISO 12100 sets the risk-assessment method and EN 415-10 sets general requirements for packaging machines.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"selection-checklist\">Selection checklist for a luggage stretch wrapper<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Largest and smallest case size.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Cases per hour.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Turns and overlap you want.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Floor space and power supply.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Whether a counter or display is needed for paid wrapping.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-left:-1.25em;list-style-type:none\"><input type=\"checkbox\" disabled=\"disabled\" \/> Clear or coloured film.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: Why stand the case upright?\nA: It keeps the wheels and handle clear and lets the turntable keep the film tension even.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How many turns does a case need?\nA: Spiral turns plus end turns. Our 700 mm tall example needs about 7.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How much film per case?\nA: Turns times the case perimeter. Our example lays about 9.8 m.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can it wrap other items?\nA: Yes.
