The ring turns around the door and lays film in a spiral as the door advances. Photocell sensors detect the door position, so the PLC starts and stops the wrap at preset points.<\/p>\n<p>On our door orbital wrapper, a solid cast aluminium ring runs on four PU wheels for steady motion. Ring speed is adjustable, and so is the friction between the driving wheels and the ring. In our video, a wood-grain door passes through the ring under a hold-down frame.<\/p>\n<p>A spiral wrap covers the four long faces of the door. Tell us if the door ends need protection too, and we include that in the proposal.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/horizontal-orbital-stretch-wrapper-4.webp\" alt=\"Stretch film roll on the ring of a horizontal orbital wrapper with PU wheel\" width=\"800\" height=\"799\" class=\"skip-lazy\">\n<figcaption><strong>Film roll on the orbital ring.<\/strong> The ring runs on PU wheels while it carries the film around the door.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"door-window\">Does the door fit the window?<\/h2>\n<p>The E1400 is our horizontal wrapper for wide packages such as doors, sheets and floor boards.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Parameter<\/th>\n<th>E1400<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Package length<\/td>\n<td>1,000\u20133,000 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Package width<\/td>\n<td>300\u20131,400 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Package height<\/td>\n<td>50\u20131,000 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infeed and outfeed conveyors<\/td>\n<td>2,000 mm each<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Conveyor speed<\/td>\n<td>4\u201315 m\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ring speed<\/td>\n<td>10\u201360 r\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Illustrative example: a 2,100 \u00d7 900 \u00d7 40 mm door is within the length and width ranges.

A 2,100 \u00d7 1,000 mm double-leaf pack also fits the 1,400 mm width.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"overlap-speed\">Overlap and line speed<\/h2>\n<p>Overlap is adjustable from 10% to 90%. Each ring turn advances the film band by the film width times the uncovered share.

Thinner doors are wrapped as a stack, or we confirm a single-door setup on your drawing.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How many doors per hour can we wrap?\nA: About 75\u2013105 doors of 2,100 mm in our illustrative example, with 20 s handling.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can we set where the wrap starts and stops?\nA: Yes. The start and stop points are set on the touch screen.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Does an operator have to tie the film?\nA: No. An automatic mechanical hand feeds and ties the film.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can the wrapper join our production line?\nA: Yes.
