A photocell sensor sets the packing position and cutting time, and the ring lays film around the profile as it moves forward. Guide rollers keep the profile on the conveyor centerline so the ring wraps it evenly. Our video shows a single aluminum profile wrapped this way, with the sensor beam marking its position.<\/p>\n<p>Inverters set the ring speed and the conveyor speed separately. The ring starts and stops softly and returns to its wrapping position automatically, so each profile starts in the same place.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/horizontal-orbital-stretch-wrapper-E100-zt.webp\" alt=\"Compact E100 horizontal orbital stretch wrapper for small aluminum profiles\" width=\"788\" height=\"800\" class=\"skip-lazy\">\n<figcaption><strong>E100 horizontal stretch wrapper.<\/strong> Our smallest ring for single profiles of 50\u2013100 mm OD.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"three-models\">Three compact models<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Parameter<\/th>\n<th>E100<\/th>\n<th>E200<\/th>\n<th>E300<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Package OD<\/td>\n<td>50\u2013100 mm<\/td>\n<td>50\u2013200 mm<\/td>\n<td>100\u2013300 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Package length<\/td>\n<td>over 1,000 mm<\/td>\n<td>over 1,000 mm<\/td>\n<td>over 1,000 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Weight<\/td>\n<td>8\u2013100 kg<\/td>\n<td>8\u2013100 kg<\/td>\n<td>15\u2013100 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ring speed<\/td>\n<td>20\u2013120 r\/min<\/td>\n<td>10\u2013120 r\/min<\/td>\n<td>20\u201390 r\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrapping speed (through the ring)<\/td>\n<td>3\u201315 m\/min<\/td>\n<td>confirmed in proposal<\/td>\n<td>5\u201315 m\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infeed\/outfeed conveyor speed<\/td>\n<td>6\u201312 m\/min<\/td>\n<td>6\u201312 m\/min<\/td>\n<td>6\u201312 m\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film roll width<\/td>\n<td>50\u2013100 mm<\/td>\n<td>100\u2013200 mm<\/td>\n<td>100\u2013200 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Overlap<\/td>\n<td>10\u201390%<\/td>\n<td>10\u201390%<\/td>\n<td>10\u201390%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Our pages list the wrapping speed and the infeed\/outfeed conveyor speed separately. The E200 page gives no wrapping speed, so we confirm it with your profile. All three use 2,000 mm motorized infeed and outfeed conveyors, and film rolls of 100\u2013200 mm OD on a 50 mm core.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"package-od\">Measuring package OD<\/h2>\n<p>Package OD is the diagonal of the profile or bundle cross-section, because the ring has to clear the corners. Illustrative examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>60 \u00d7 40 mm profile.<\/strong> \u221a(60\u00b2 + 40\u00b2) = about 72 mm, so the E100 fits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>150 \u00d7 120 mm bundle.<\/strong> \u221a(150\u00b2 + 120\u00b2) = about 192 mm, so the E200 or E300 fits.<\/li>\n<li><strong>250 \u00d7 150 mm bundle.<\/strong> \u221a(250\u00b2 + 150\u00b2) = about 292 mm, so the E300 fits.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For bundles larger than 300 mm OD, we move to our aluminum profile wrapper with a larger ring.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"overlap\">Speed, film width and overlap<\/h2>\n<p>Advance per ring turn = wrapping speed \u00f7 ring speed. For 50% overlap (illustrative), the advance must be no more than half the film width:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Model<\/th>\n<th>Film width<\/th>\n<th>Ring speed<\/th>\n<th>Max advance for 50%<\/th>\n<th>Max wrapping speed<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>E100<\/td>\n<td>100 mm<\/td>\n<td>120 r\/min<\/td>\n<td>50 mm<\/td>\n<td>6 m\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>E300<\/td>\n<td>200 mm<\/td>\n<td>90 r\/min<\/td>\n<td>100 mm<\/td>\n<td>9 m\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>So the E100 reaches 15 m\/min only at low overlap. Illustrative example: a 6 m profile at 6 m\/min takes 1 min of travel, before film cut and transfer. We set the speeds on your profile during a trial.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"film-handling\">Unmanned film handling<\/h2>\n<p>Each model has an automatic cutter and feeder for unmanned operation. It clamps and feeds the film at the start, then cuts and holds it at the end. Tension is adjusted with a tensioner, and the material frame takes several types of film. As options, the E100 can take a pre-stretch film frame for 100\u2013250% pre-stretch, and the E200 can have PVC, roller or chain conveyors.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"utilities-and-safety\">Utilities and safety<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Utility<\/th>\n<th>E100 \/ E200 \/ E300<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Power<\/td>\n<td>about 2.5 kW<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Power supply<\/td>\n<td>380 V, 3 phase, 60 Hz; other voltages on request<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Control<\/td>\n<td>PLC with separate control panel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fault response<\/td>\n<td>indicator alarms automatically when trouble occurs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Guardrails cover the moving parts.
