A horizontal machine keeps the load straight on a roller line and moves the film around the load instead of turning the load.<\/p>\n<p>For a long bundle, an orbital ring that travels along the load applies film evenly without bending or spinning the product. Bundle length and diameter are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-the-machine-does\">What the machine does<\/h2>\n<p>The machine is a horizontal wrapping unit arranged as a straight line. The load is fed in on a roller conveyor, a ring carrying the film rotates around the load, and the bundle advances along the line while the ring lays a spiral film cover.<\/p>\n<p>The wrapped bundle exits the line at the outfeed end. Bundle length, ring opening and film pitch are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"roller-conveyor-and-orbital-ring\">Roller conveyor and orbital ring<\/h2>\n<p>The roller conveyor has a light frame with dark rollers and runs the full length of the machine, carrying the load through the wrapping zone on the same line. A control cabinet on the machine side holds the touch screen and push buttons.<\/p>\n<p>The yellow orbital ring carries the film roll on one side and rotates around the load as it travels. Ring opening and conveyor width are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"wrap-cycle-and-operator-guidance\">Wrap cycle and operator guidance<\/h2>\n<p>The operator places the bundle on the conveyor, starts the cycle, and the ring rotates around the load while the bundle moves forward. In the footage the operator guides the film and adjusts the guide rollers inside the machine during the run.<\/p>\n<p>The ring continues along the full bundle until the cover is complete, then the machine returns to standby. Cycle speed and overlap are confirmed per project.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-the-footage-shows\">What the footage shows<\/h2>\n<p>Our footage shows a horizontal wrapping machine wrapping a bundle of about six long white tubes tied with a red strap. The bundle is fed along a straight roller conveyor, a yellow ring rotates around it laying transparent film in a spiral, and an operator guides the film and guide rollers during the run.<\/p>\n<p>The wrapped bundle is complete at the outfeed end. It is a general demonstration, so your bundle length, ring opening and film pitch 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\">Workpiece<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">long tube or profile bundle on the roller line<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Load<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">bundle tied with a strap before wrapping<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Conveyor<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">light frame with dark rollers, full machine length<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Ring<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">yellow orbital ring carrying the film roll<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Film<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">transparent stretch film laid in a spiral as the ring travels<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Guidance<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">guide rollers inside the machine, hand-adjusted during setup<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Control<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">touch screen with red and green push buttons on the side cabinet<\/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\">Bundle range<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">length, diameter and weight loaded per run<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Ring opening<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">clearance vs the largest bundle cross-section<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Film<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">film width, pitch and overlap setting<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Cycle<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">travel speed and wrap coverage per bundle<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">Layout<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: left\">straight line length for infeed, wrap zone and outfeed<\/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 bundle on the conveyor, start the cycle, and keep clear of the moving ring while the machine runs.
