A shrink-wrapped cover keeps the surface clean and holds the shape for stacking and transport.<\/p>\n<p>Because the film tightens onto the part, the cover does not slip during movement. Part size and film type are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-these-machines-do-6849\">What these machines do<\/h2>\n<p>These are side sealing and shrink wrapping machines for flat circular parts. The part is placed on a conveyor, film is laid over the top, and a heat hood closes over the part so the film shrinks tight against the surface.<\/p>\n<p>A vertical machine draws the film and shrinks the part in place at the conveyor, and a horizontal machine runs longer parts through a hood at the same station. Part size and cycle are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"heat-hood-and-film-press\">Heat hood and film press<\/h2>\n<p>The main structure is a painted metal frame with a heat hood above the conveyor and a film press beside it. The hood opens and closes over the part, and the press holds the film against the part before the heat steps in.<\/p>\n<p>A control panel on the side of the machine carries a screen, push buttons and indicator lamps. Hood size and press travel are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"cycle-and-control\">Cycle and control<\/h2>\n<p>The cycle runs in clear steps. The part is placed on the conveyor, the film press holds the film over it, the heat hood closes, and the film shrinks tight onto the part before the hood opens again.<\/p>\n<p>The control panel carries the cycle buttons and lamps, and an emergency stop button sits on the panel. Cycle timing and the control layout are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-the-footage-shows\">What the footage shows<\/h2>\n<p>Our footage shows a flat circular part being placed on the conveyor of a vertical machine, with film laid over the top before the heat hood closes. The hood opens once the shrink step is done, and the wrapped part is carried out.<\/p>\n<p>A second clip shows the same work on a horizontal machine, with an operator removing the finished part at the outfeed. It is a general demonstration, so your part size, film grade and cycle time are confirmed with us per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"typical-configuration\">Typical configuration<\/h2>\n<p>Figures below list functional design boundaries rather than numeric values, and are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Parameter<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Typical range, confirmed per project<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Load<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">flat circular or ring-shaped parts on the conveyor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Process<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">film laid over the part, heat hood closes, film shrinks tight<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Transfer<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">conveyor infeed, outfeed at the same station<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Control<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">screen, push buttons and indicator lamps with an emergency stop<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Mount<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">floor mounted, vertical or horizontal machine layout<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Electrical supply<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">380 V three phase 50 Hz, or 220 V single phase for light machines, selected per project<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"selection-checklist\">Selection checklist<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Question<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align: left\">Confirm per project<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Part<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">outside diameter, thickness and weight<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Film<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">type, width and shrink ratio<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Cycle<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">hood time and conveyor pacing<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Layout<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">vertical or horizontal machine, floor space<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Control<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">panel layout and guarding around the hood<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Electrical supply<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">voltage, phase and frequency on site<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2 id=\"operation-and-safety\">Operation and safety<\/h2>\n<p>Place the part on the conveyor, start the cycle, and let the film press and heat hood run.

Confirm the part is centred before each cycle.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: What does this machine do?\nA: It covers a flat circular part in film and shrinks the film tight, so the part is sealed and stable for stacking.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How does the film shrink?\nA: The heat hood closes over the part after the film is laid on, and the heat draws the film down against the surface.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Do we load the parts by hand?\nA: The footage shows parts placed on the conveyor by hand, which suits moderate volumes; automatic feeding is arranged when the run size requires it.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can it handle pancake coils?\nA: Yes, a flat circular coil shrinks the same way; outside diameter and film are confirmed per project for your exact part.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What does it suit?\nA: Flat circular and ring-shaped parts that need a tight, dust-proof film cover before storage or delivery.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step\">Next step<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Email us at info@fhopepack.com with your part size and thickness.<\/li>\n<li>We send a side sealing and shrink wrapping proposal within 48 hours.<\/li>\n<li>We confirm the machine layout and electrical supply for your site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/side-sealing-and-shrinking-machine-for-pancake-coil\/\">Side Sealing and Shrink Wrapping: Operation and Applications<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/advanced-auto-aluminum-ingot-cross-strapping-machine\/\">Advanced Auto Aluminum Ingot Cross Strapping Machine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/coil-de-strapping-machine\/\">Coil De-strapping Machine<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Products\/\">FHOPE packing machinery product lines<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources-and-standards\">Sources and standards<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/51528.html\">ISO 12100:2010 Safety of machinery, general principles for design and risk assessment<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nen.nl\/en\/nen-en-415-10-2014-en-191845\">EN 415-10:2014 Safety of packaging machines, general requirements<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iso.org\/standard\/83615.html\">EN ISO 13849-1:2023 Safety of machinery, safety-related parts of control systems<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>FHOPE side sealing and shrink wrapping demonstration video.
