Automated tire stretch wrapping machine in high speed

Summary: Yes — an automated tire stretch wrapping machine can wrap passenger and motorcycle tires in 15–25 seconds each, using PE stretch film at 380V/50Hz/3-phase power. The FPT-300 model handles tires with OD 500–800 mm, ID 300–500 mm, width 100–300 mm, and weight 5–20 kg. This checklist verifies specs, film cutting, shipping terms, and documentation before purchase.

Specification source: The FPT-300 parameters in this article come from the supplier’s published datasheet and email correspondence dated 2026.08.12. They are not independently verified — validate every specification against the final written quotation before ordering.

🛠️ Scope

This checklist covers automated tire stretch wrapping machine selection for passenger and motorcycle tires, using the FPT-300 as the reference configuration with a 15–25 second per-tire packing speed, and verifies tire dimensions, power supply, film cutting, shipping terms, and documentation.

The FPT-300 is a semi-automatic wrapper. An operator places a tire on the machine. The wrapper rotates the tire while applying PE stretch film. This checklist is for buyers, plant engineers, and procurement teams. It prevents mismatches between offered specs and real production needs.

Key Point: Per supplier email dated 2026.08.12, the FPT-300 parameters match the emailed requirements. The machine runs at approximately 1.5 kW with manual loading and unloading only. This is a supplier claim — confirm it in the final quotation.

🏗️ Checklist Body

The Checklist Body covers six verification groups — tire dimensions, packing speed, power supply, film type, automatic film cutting option, and loading automation — each with pass/fail boxes that you must mark based on the supplier’s written confirmation in the final quotation.

Work through each group in order. Mark every box. If any box fails, contact the supplier before ordering.

Print note: This checklist is formatted for print. Insert a page break before the Purchase-Decision Checklist section, and keep the checkbox style consistent (□) so all boxes align on paper.

1. Tire Dimension and Weight Checks

Verify that every tire in your actual production mix falls inside the FPT-300’s dimensional envelope — OD 500–800 mm, ID 300–500 mm, width 100–300 mm, and weight 5–20 kg — because a single out-of-range tire will fail the wrap cycle and halt your packing line.

Checklist Item	Pass Condition
Outer diameter	Tire OD must be between 500 mm and 800 mm
Inner diameter	Tire ID must be between 300 mm and 500 mm
Tire width	Must be between 100 mm and 300 mm
Tire weight	Must be between 5 kg and 20 kg
Application	Passenger or motorcycle tires

Measure tires from your actual production mix. Do not rely on nominal sizes. A tire at 820 mm OD will fail the wrap cycle. These limits are per the supplier’s datasheet and must be validated against the final quotation.

2. Packing Speed Checks

Confirm the machine cycle time is 15 to 25 seconds per tire, and note that this documented cycle excludes manual loading and unloading time, so calculate your real production throughput by adding operator handling time to the stated cycle.

• [ ] Confirm the machine cycle time is 15 to 25 seconds per tire.

• [ ] Calculate hourly output: at 15 seconds per tire, throughput is 240 tires per hour.

• [ ] At 25 seconds per tire, throughput is 144 tires per hour.

• [ ] Verify manual loading and unloading time is not counted inside the cycle.

3. Power Supply Checks

Confirm the machine operates on 380V / 50Hz / 3-phase electrical mains power with a rated consumption of approximately 1.5 kW, and have a qualified electrician verify your facility’s line capacity and breaker sizing before installation to avoid costly site rework.

• [ ] Confirm the machine operates on 380V / 50Hz / 3-phase power.

• [ ] Confirm rated power consumption is approximately 1.5 kW.

• [ ] Have an electrician verify your facility’s line capacity before installation.

4. Film Type Checks

Confirm PE stretch film is the wrapping material, verify that the film width matches your tire width range of 100–300 mm, and clarify whether film rolls are sourced from the supplier or purchased locally, because film availability affects your running cost per tire.

• [ ] Confirm PE stretch film is the wrapping material.

• [ ] Confirm the film width matches your tire width range of 100–300 mm.

• [ ] Ask whether film rolls come from the supplier or are sourced locally.

5. Automatic Film Cutting & Feeding System Checks

The standard FPT-300 does not cut film automatically; the Automatic Film Cutting & Feeding System is a paid add-on (the supplier quoted USD 480 per email dated 2026.08.12 — a hypothetical example figure, not a guaranteed price), so confirm the line item, its function, and a reference video before ordering.

The standard FPT-300 does not cut film automatically after the wrap cycle. The Automatic Film Cutting & Feeding System was quoted at USD 480 in supplier correspondence dated 2026.08.12. Treat this as a hypothetical example price, not a confirmed quote — request the final figure in writing on your quotation.

• [ ] Confirm the option appears on the final quotation at the agreed price.

• [ ] Confirm the system cuts film automatically after every wrapping cycle.

• [ ] Confirm the system prepares the film for the next tire without manual intervention.

• [ ] Request the supplier’s reference video of the film cutting and feeding system.

Key Point: Per supplier email dated 2026.08.12: “It will automatically cut the film and prepare the machine for the next tire, doesn’t need manual operation.” This is an unverified supplier claim — get it in writing on the quotation.

6. Loading and Automation Checks

Confirm the machine uses manual loading and unloading only, with no conveyor, no automatic tire loading system, and no robotic integration included in the base configuration, so plan your staffing and entire upstream/downstream handling around a one-operator production work cell.

• [ ] Confirm the machine uses manual loading and unloading.

• [ ] Confirm no conveyor is included.

• [ ] Confirm no automatic tire loading system is included.

• [ ] Confirm no robotic system is included.

📈 Pass/Fail Criteria

A checklist item passes only when the supplier’s written quotation matches the verified condition; core performance parameters — tire OD, ID, width, weight, and packing speed — must pass all checks, and any single failure means the machine cannot run your tires.

Check Item	Pass	Fail
Tire OD 500–800 mm	All tires within range	Any tire outside range
Tire ID 300–500 mm	All tires within range	Any tire outside range
Tire width 100–300 mm	All tires within range	Any tire outside range
Tire weight 5–20 kg	All tires within range	Any tire above 20 kg
Packing speed 15–25 s/tire	Confirmed in quotation	Not stated or slower
Power 380V/50Hz/3-phase	Available at site	Mismatched power
Film cutting option	Line item present at agreed price	Option absent
Shipping terms	FOB/CIF stated clearly	Vague incoterms

Key Point: Per supplier email dated 2026.08.12, the FPT-300 passes every core check; the buyer confirmed “the parameters are correct.” This remains a supplier claim until the final quotation matches.

If one non-core item fails, such as a missing document, you can still order. Add the missing item as a condition to the purchase order.

🛡️ Commonly Missed Items

Commonly missed items during purchase review often include destination port charges, inland transport to landlocked destinations, DAP quotation refusals, final documentation completeness, and uncosted items such as customs duties, VAT, wooden packing, payment terms, delivery time, and warranty coverage periods.

Destination Port Charges and Inland Transport

CIF Slovakia does not include destination port charges, customs clearance in Slovakia, import duties, VAT, or inland transportation. Slovakia has no seaport. The CIF destination port is likely Hamburg, Rotterdam, or another European port, followed by truck or rail to Košice.

Plain-language shipping terms: FOB (Free On Board) means the seller covers costs until the goods are loaded onto the ship at the export port (e.g., Shanghai); the buyer then pays ocean freight, insurance, and everything after. CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) means the seller pays ocean freight and cargo insurance to the destination port, but the buyer still pays destination port charges, customs clearance, import duties, VAT, and inland transport. DAP (Delivered at Place) means the seller delivers the goods to your named address; import duties and VAT usually remain the buyer’s responsibility.

Per the supplier email dated 2026.08.12, the CIF amount includes:

• Ocean freight

• Cargo insurance

• Export customs clearance in China

• Export documentation

The buyer pays separately:

• Destination port charges

• Customs clearance in Slovakia

• Import duties

• VAT

• Inland transportation to Košice

Warning: Get a written inland freight quote from the destination port to Košice before comparing CIF versus FOB. European road freight can run €600–1,200 per truckload — this is an illustrative estimate, not a fixed quote; verify with your forwarder or supplier.

DAP Quotation Refusal

• [ ] Ask the supplier for DAP pricing to your address.

• [ ] If they decline, as this supplier did, budget inland transport separately.

• [ ] Compare total cost: FOB + ocean freight + insurance + port fees + duties + VAT + inland versus CIF + port fees + duties + VAT + inland.

Final Documentation Completeness

Per supplier email dated 2026.08.12, the FPT-300 final documentation package is stated to include the following eight items. These are supplier-stated inclusions, not verified facts — confirm each item at delivery:

• [ ] CE documentation

• [ ] Quality certificate from the warehouse

• [ ] English operation manual

• [ ] Final electrical diagram

• [ ] Final technical specification

• [ ] Machine nameplate matching the actual machine

• [ ] Spare parts list

• [ ] Maintenance information

Key Point: The documentation must reflect the actual electrical configuration, including the PLC, inverter, motor, and other main electrical components. Check the nameplate serial number against the machine at delivery.

Cost and Terms Not Stated in the Email

The quotation dated 2026.08.12 is referenced but not reproduced in the email. Payment terms, delivery time, warranty duration, and spare parts content remain unconfirmed.

• [ ] Ask for payment terms in writing (illustrative range: 30% deposit, 70% before shipment — verify with your supplier).

• [ ] Ask for delivery lead time (illustrative range: 15–45 days for this machine class — verify with your supplier).

• [ ] Ask for warranty coverage (illustrative range: 12–24 months — verify with your supplier).

• [ ] Ask for the spare parts list before shipment.

Tip: Book a video inspection while the machine is crated. A short call with the supplier protects you from missing parts and mismatched serial numbers.
