The operator only places and unloads the piece; the wrapper handles positioning, holding and wrapping. In our video, a wooden cabinet panel is wrapped in clear stretch film after the operator starts the cycle at the control panel.<\/p>\n<p>The automatic cycle runs in eight steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The operator places the product on the infeed conveyor.<\/li>\n<li>Sensors detect the product, and the conveyor moves it to the wrapping position.<\/li>\n<li>A press-down device with a pressure-relief (decompression) system holds the package without crushing it.<\/li>\n<li>The product stops automatically at the wrapping position.<\/li>\n<li>The film on the ring is fed to the package automatically.<\/li>\n<li>The product travels through the ring and is wrapped.<\/li>\n<li>Reinforcing wraps are placed at the tail end.<\/li>\n<li>The packed piece is unloaded.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The wrapper can also connect to a packing line for automatic inline wrapping.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/funiture-packing-machine-1.webp\" alt=\"Horizontal stretch wrapper for furniture with infeed and outfeed conveyors\" width=\"1000\" height=\"650\" class=\"skip-lazy\">\n<figcaption><strong>Furniture horizontal stretch wrapper.<\/strong> Infeed conveyor, ring and outfeed conveyor in one line.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"size-window\">Size window and ring clearance<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Parameter<\/th>\n<th>Furniture horizontal wrapper<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Product length<\/td>\n<td>over 1,500 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Product width<\/td>\n<td>800\u20131,800 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Product height<\/td>\n<td>800\u20131,800 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Product weight<\/td>\n<td>20\u2013200 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrapping ring ID<\/td>\n<td>over 1,400 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ring speed<\/td>\n<td>about 10\u201360 r\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Conveyor speed<\/td>\n<td>4\u201312 m\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The ring has to clear the diagonal of the piece&#8217;s cross-section, not just its width.

The size window runs to 1,800 \u00d7 1,800 mm, which needs about 2,546 mm of clearance, so the ring and the conveyors listed below grow with the piece. We size both to your largest piece and confirm them in the proposal.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"speed-match\">Matching conveyor and ring speed<\/h2>\n<p>Coverage depends on how far the piece moves for each ring turn. Advance per turn = conveyor speed \u00f7 ring speed.

A 1,000 \u00d7 1,000 mm section needs about 1,414 mm, more than a 1,400 mm ring.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How fast can we run the conveyor?\nA: Up to 12 m\/min, but with 250 mm film and 50% overlap at 60 r\/min, the limit is 7.5 m\/min.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can we get a fully sealed package?\nA: Yes. We add film covering before the ring wrap, with PE film, bubble film or EPE film.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Does the wrapper need an operator?\nA: The operator places the piece and unloads it. Positioning, pressing, film feeding and wrapping run automatically.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<p>We size your furniture wrapper in three steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Submit your layout drawing<\/strong> with piece sizes and pieces per hour to <strong>info@fhopepack.com<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Receive a proposal within 48 hours<\/strong>, with ring size, speeds and film options.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Book a site survey<\/strong> to fit the wrapper to your packing area.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Customize-orbital-wrapper\/furniture-wrapping-machine.html\">Furniture wrapping machine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Customize-orbital-wrapper\/panel-wrapping-machine.html\">Panel wrapping machine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Customize-orbital-wrapper\/bubble-film-wrapper.html\">Bubble film wrapper<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/automatic-door-wrapping-machine-stretch-wrapper\/\">Video: automatic door wrapping machine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/6-side-sealed-furniture-packaging-integrating-bubble-film-end-sealing-4-side-orbital-wrapping-for-100-freight-protection\/\">Video: 6-side sealed furniture packaging<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Furniture wrapper data, cycle and film options: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Customize-orbital-wrapper\/furniture-wrapping-machine.html\">furniture wrapping machine page<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Machine in action: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Kh_TsB32y_U\">our horizontal furniture wrapper 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 horizontal furniture wrapper moves each piece through a rotating ring that spirals stretch film around it.
