Orange rollers carry the product on white conveyor frames in front of and behind the ring. A grey control cabinet stands at the side, with buttons, a small screen and blue geared motors below.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>0 s.<\/strong> A worker stands at the control panel. A long silver batten lies on the orange infeed rollers, lined up with the ring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>About 4 to 16 s.<\/strong> The worker steps away. The batten runs into the ring, the film carriage turns and the film starts to lay onto the batten.<\/li>\n<li><strong>About 20 to 24 s.<\/strong> Part of the batten is wrapped, and the conveyor carries the wrapped length out of the ring.<\/li>\n<li><strong>About 28 to 32 s.<\/strong> The ring runs with no new product. The camera turns to the control cabinet, whose door stands open.<\/li>\n<li><strong>About 36 to 56 s.<\/strong> A new batten enters, the film carriage turns again and the wrapped batten leaves the ring. The ring then stops in its start position.<\/li>\n<li><strong>About 60 to 96 s.<\/strong> Close views and a wider view of the whole wrapper at rest, then the control panel and the open cabinet.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"cycle\">Cycle time on the clip<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Step on the clip<\/th>\n<th>Time window<\/th>\n<th>Duration<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>First batten into the ring<\/td>\n<td>about 4 to 16 s<\/td>\n<td>about 12 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wrapped length carried out<\/td>\n<td>about 20 to 24 s<\/td>\n<td>about 4 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Ring running empty<\/td>\n<td>about 28 to 32 s<\/td>\n<td>about 4 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Second batten wrapped and out<\/td>\n<td>about 36 to 56 s<\/td>\n<td>about 20 s<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The times come from frames 4 s apart. A wrap takes as long as the batten needs to pass through the ring at the conveyor speed.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-it-works\">How a horizontal ring wrapper works<\/h2>\n<p>The infeed conveyor carries the batten into the ring. A photocell sets the start of the wrap. As the batten moves forward, the ring turns around it and the film carriage lays a spiral of stretch film along its length.<\/p>\n<p>The overlap of each turn depends on the ratio of conveyor speed to ring speed. Both speeds are set by inverters, and the overlap is adjustable from 10% to 90%. At the end of the batten, the cutter cuts the film and the outfeed conveyor carries the wrapped batten away.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Part<\/th>\n<th>What it does<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Infeed conveyor, 2,000 mm<\/td>\n<td>Carries the batten into the ring<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Turning ring and film carriage<\/td>\n<td>Lay the spiral of film<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tension control<\/td>\n<td>Keeps the film tight on small and large sections<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Automatic cutter<\/td>\n<td>Cuts the film at the end of the wrap<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Outfeed conveyor, 2,000 mm<\/td>\n<td>Carries the wrapped batten away<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Separate control panel with PLC<\/td>\n<td>Sets the wrap and shows alarms<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"specs\">E200 horizontal stretch wrapper specifications<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>E200 horizontal stretch wrapper<\/th>\n<th>Specification<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Package outer size (OD)<\/td>\n<td>50 to 200 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Package length<\/td>\n<td>over 1,000 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Package weight<\/td>\n<td>8 to 100 kg<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Infeed and outfeed conveyors<\/td>\n<td>2,000 mm each, motor driven<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Conveyor speed<\/td>\n<td>6 to 12 m\/min<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Overlap<\/td>\n<td>adjustable, 10% to 90%<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Power<\/td>\n<td>about 2.5 kW<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Supply<\/td>\n<td>380 V, 3 phase, 60 Hz<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film roll<\/td>\n<td>100 to 200 mm wide, 50 mm core<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"takt\">Takt check<\/h2>\n<p>For an illustrative 4 m batten at a conveyor speed of 6 m\/min, the wrap takes 4 \u00f7 6 \u00d7 60 = 40 s.

A hand near the turning ring or the roller nip is the move to design out. We fit mesh guards around the moving parts, and an interlock is available.<\/p>\n<p>Stop, isolate and lock out the wrapper before anyone changes the film roll, clears a jam inside the ring or opens the control cabinet. Keep the cabinet door closed and locked while the machine runs.<\/p>\n<p>The standards that apply depend on the destination market. For CE markets, ISO 12100 sets the risk-assessment method, and EN 415-10 covers general requirements for packaging machines, which fixes guarding and the stop arrangement.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: What size of batten fits through the E200 ring?\nA: Packages from 50 to 200 mm across, over 1,000 mm long and from 8 to 100 kg.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How is the film overlap set?\nA: By the ratio of conveyor speed to ring speed, both set by inverters, from 10% to 90%.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Does the wrapper cut the film itself?\nA: Yes.
