A horizontal orbital wrapper is one answer: the ring rotates around the standing pallet and lays stretch film in even layers.<\/p>\n<p>Use this page to decide whether this ring version fits your load flow, and to see which data FHOPE asks for to size one.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-the-ring-wrap-works\">How the ring wrap works on a line<\/h2>\n<p>The line is a through-type roller conveyor: the palletized load is positioned in the wrap station, and a horizontal ring arm rotates around it while film unwinds from the roll on the arm. When the wrapping cycle is complete, the load moves to the exit conveyor.<\/p>\n<p>Because the load does not turn, the stack keeps its geometry from infeed to outfeed. The ring rotates around the stationary load while film is applied.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-the-demo-footage-supports\">What the demo footage supports<\/h2>\n<p>The footage shows a palletized load on a roller conveyor, the ring arm rotating around the standing load, and the wrapped pallet exiting on the conveyor. Operators steady the load for positioning, and a mesh safety fence surrounds the wrap station.<\/p>\n<p>It is a general demonstration. It does not show rated capacity, maximum load size, cycle time, or film grade, so those are not listed here as numbers; they are set to your load in the sizing step below.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sizing-and-configuration\">Sizing and configuration<\/h2>\n<p>This machine is sized from your load, not from a fixed rating plate.

Every row in the table is confirmed to your site conditions before the build.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"where-this-version-stops-fitting\">Where this version stops fitting<\/h2>\n<p>A through-type horizontal orbital wrapper is the right shape when loads move in one direction on a line and only the vertical faces need film. Consider the alternatives when one of these is true:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The load diagonal is close to or above the ring opening; check the ring clears the tallest, widest load before sizing.<\/li>\n<li>The top face must be covered by the same run; a horizontal ring applies film to the sides only, so a top-cover or shrink stage is a separate step.<\/li>\n<li>Straps or edge protection must be added; this machine wraps film only.<\/li>\n<li>The hall cannot fit a straight conveyor section; a turntable or robot wrapper is the usual fallback for spot wrapping at any pallet, at the cost of a turning step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Quote the layout drawing and the extremes of your load range, and the reply will state plainly which machine fits.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"engineering-faq\">Engineering FAQ<\/h2>\n<p>Q: How does an orbital wrapping machine apply film?\nA: A horizontal ring arm rotates around the stationary pallet load and unwinds stretch film from a roll carried on the arm.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Does the load turn during wrapping?\nA: No. The load stays on the conveyor and the ring moves around it, so the stack keeps its orientation from infeed to outfeed.<\/p>\n<p>Q: Can this version put film on top of the load?\nA: No. The horizontal ring wraps the vertical faces only; a top cover or shrink stage is a separate part of the line.<\/p>\n<p>Q: How many layers of film does the load get?\nA: The layer count is determined by your load details and wrap program, and is confirmed during the sizing step.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What electrical supply does it need?\nA: Electrical supply (voltage, phase and frequency) is engineered to a customer&#8217;s site standards; confirm on site with the order.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"next-step-rfq-checklist\">Next step: RFQ checklist<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Email info@fhopepack.com with your pallet size, load height and weight range.<\/li>\n<li>Add a layout drawing of the infeed and outfeed area.<\/li>\n<li>Receive a proposal with ring travel, conveyor sections and wrap program for your loads.<\/li>\n<li>Book a site survey if you want the infeed and outfeed layout checked before the build.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2 id=\"related-reading\">Related reading<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/fast-orbital-wrapping-machine-2\/\">Efficient Packaging orbital wrapping machine 2024<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/horizontal-orbital-stretch-wrapper-for-pallet-strapping-and-wrapping\/\">Horizontal orbital stretch wrapper for pallet strapping and wrapping<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/videos\/horizontal-orbital-stretch-wrapping-machine\/\">Horizontal Orbital Stretch Wrapping Machine: Ring Wrap on a Conveyor<\/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>The standards that apply depend on the destination market.
