Horizontal wrapping packing for hose coil full-size stretch packing machine

Technical Summary: The FPH-700 is a full-size horizontal stretch wrapping machine configured for hose coils up to 720mm outer diameter (OD) with a 290mm inner diameter (ID), wrapping the complete outer coil circumference without passing film through the coil eye. The supplier estimates film consumption at approximately 40 meters of 100mm PE stretch film per coil, yielding 20–25 coils per roll, with PE film quoted at USD 2.22/KG, MOQ 2000KG, EXW. Film consumption, roll yield, and film roll geometry figures are supplier experience-based estimates requiring factory test data and written confirmation before PO placement.

🛠️ Scope

This procurement checklist governs the technical and commercial evaluation of the FPH-700 full-size horizontal stretch wrapping machine for hose coils up to 720mm OD with a stated 290mm ID scope, including PE stretch film consumption, MOQ terms, and acceptance criteria. It explicitly excludes through-eye C-Ring configurations, which require greater coil-eye clearance than the supplied coil geometry provides. All unverified specifications must be confirmed in writing before PO issue.

The FPH-700 operates in full-size wrapping mode: the film ring traverses the complete outer surface of the coil, and no machine component enters the coil eye at any point during the wrapping cycle.

Critical ID discrepancy to resolve. The introduction states a 290mm ID scope, but the supplier’s coil data table lists 270mm ID for all four sample coils. Submit this discrepancy to the supplier for written clarification before finalizing the purchase order. The purchase order must reference the exact ID dimension applicable to production coils.

Coil No.	Hose DIA	Coil Weight	Coil OD (B)	Coil ID (A)	Coil Width (C)
1	DIA 16	4.6 kg	480 mm	270 mm	230 mm
2	DIA 20	5.4 kg	560 mm	270 mm	230 mm
3	DIA 25	7.2 kg	700 mm	270 mm	230 mm
4	DIA 32	5.7 kg	600 mm	270 mm	230 mm

The supplier indicates that for an ID of 290mm combined with an OD of 720mm, the remaining coil-eye clearance is insufficient for a C-Ring to pass through, making full-size wrapping the only viable configuration for this geometry.

Key Point: The ID discrepancy between the stated scope (290mm) and the coil table (270mm) is a contractual risk. Resolve it with the supplier in writing before PO placement.

🏗️ Checklist Body

Use this printable procurement checklist to verify the FPH-700 quotation before placing a purchase order. Each checkbox represents a pass/fail requirement across machine fit, film consumption, commercial terms, and acceptance. Tick a checkbox only when the supplier has confirmed the specification in writing — verbal confirmations do not protect your total cost of ownership (TCO).

Machine Fit Checks

[ ] Coil OD range check. Confirm the FPH-700 accommodates the maximum coil OD of 720mm and the production ID (290mm or 270mm — resolve the discrepancy first). Write both values into the purchase order.
[ ] Full-size wrapping mode. Confirm the machine wraps from the coil outer diameter and does not attempt to pass the C-Ring through the coil eye. This is the core configuration requirement for your coil geometry.
[ ] Small-coil compatibility. Confirm the machine handles the full DIA 16 – DIA 32 range: OD 480–700mm, ID 270mm, width 230mm, at 4.6–7.2kg per coil.
[ ] Coil weight handling. The heaviest listed coil is 7.2kg. Request the infeed conveyor and turntable load ratings in writing and verify they exceed this weight with an appropriate safety margin.
[ ] Film roll geometry (supplier to confirm). Film specifications are stated as core ID 50mm, OD 120mm, width 100mm. These dimensions are not independently verified — request the supplier’s written confirmation of mandrel diameter and core-gripping method before ordering.

Film Consumption & Cost Checks

[ ] Film consumption estimate. The supplier estimates approximately 40 meters of film per coil based on experience. This is not a certified machine specification — request factory test data or a witnessed trial run to validate consumption before committing to budget.
[ ] Roll yield (to be validated). One roll is estimated to package 20–25 coils. Treat this as a planning assumption only; request the supplier’s test data to confirm actual yield under production conditions.
[ ] Film price basis. PE stretch film is quoted at USD 2.22/KG, EXW. Request written confirmation of whether this price includes loading, export packing, and any local taxes or surcharges.
[ ] MOQ confirmation. Film MOQ is 2000 KG. Confirm in writing whether the film ships together with the FPH-700 as a single delivery to avoid a second freight charge.
[ ] Roll net weight (missing data). Cost per roll = roll net weight × USD 2.22. The net roll weight is not stated in the quotation — request it in writing to calculate per-coil film cost.
[ ] Cycle time (missing data). The quotation does not state cycle time or pcs/hour output. Request a stated production rate to close the TCO gap and validate throughput assumptions.

Supplier Commercial Checks

[ ] EXW price risk. EXW transfers all risk and freight responsibility to you at the supplier’s warehouse. Request a written FOB, CIF, or DDP quotation to compare landed cost across suppliers.
[ ] Freight terms. Request a written freight quote from the supplier for your specific destination port and delivery address. Do not rely on assumed industry ranges.
[ ] Lead time. Request FPH-700 build time and film production time as separate written line items. Neither figure appears in the supplied quotation — verify.
[ ] Warranty. Request written warranty period, coverage scope, exclusions, and response SLA. Not stated in the supplied quotation — verify.
[ ] Spare parts. Request a recommended spares list covering film mandrel bushings, cutting blade, stretch rollers, sensors, and PLC module, with pricing and availability. Not stated — verify.
[ ] Payment terms. Request the supplier’s written payment schedule (deposit, milestone, balance). Use the supplier’s stated terms rather than industry assumptions, and incorporate them into the PO.
[ ] Utilities. Confirm voltage, frequency, and compressed air pressure requirements for installation. Not listed in the quotation — verify.

Acceptance Checks

[ ] Define acceptance criteria. Agree on film coverage, edge folding, film breakage rate, and wrapping appearance as written acceptance criteria before shipment.
[ ] Request a test run. Ask the supplier to wrap your actual coil samples at their factory and provide a witnessed test report with measured film consumption and cycle time per coil.
[ ] FAT / SAT procedure. Define a Factory Acceptance Test using your coil samples, and confirm the test protocol, measurement methods, and pass/fail thresholds in writing.

📈 Pass/Fail Criteria

A quotation passes when the FPH-700 is confirmed as a full-size wrapper, the coil OD fits the machine’s rated range, film consumption is validated by factory test data, and all commercial terms — lead time, warranty, spares, payment, and freight — are provided in writing. It fails when a through-eye C-Ring model is proposed for small-ID coils, when consumption figures remain unverified, or when commercial terms are verbal only.

Check point	Pass	Fail
Machine mode	Full-size wrapping from coil OD, confirmed in writing	Through-eye C-Ring model offered for ID 270–290mm / OD 720mm
Coil fit	OD 480–720mm, ID 270–290mm, width 230mm accepted with written confirmation	Any dimension outside range without a supplier waiver
Film consumption	Supplier provides factory test data validating meters-per-coil consumption	Supplier provides only verbal estimates without test evidence
Film price	USD 2.22/KG, EXW, confirmed in writing with no hidden escalation	Price escalation clauses or unconfirmed EXW terms
Film MOQ	2000 KG confirmed with machine shipment in one delivery	Split shipment or additional film freight cost
Commercial terms	Written lead time, warranty, spare parts list, payment terms, freight quote	Verbal-only terms or missing TCO documentation

Key Point: A pass on all six rows means the FPH-700 quotation is comparable on total cost of ownership. Any fail on a commercial row stops the purchase until the supplier corrects the written offer.

⚙️ Commonly Missed Items

Buyers routinely miss five items on this quotation: film width versus coil width ratio, film core ID confirmation, EXW freight responsibility, the 2000KG film MOQ’s warehouse footprint, and the missing cycle time data. These five items cause the largest budget and throughput surprises after the PO is signed.

Film width vs. coil width. Film width is stated as 100mm. The coil table lists coil width at 230mm. A 100mm film cannot cover a 230mm coil in a single pass — confirm the FPH-700 uses a traversing ring to spiral-wrap across the full coil width, and verify the film overlap ratio in writing.
Film core ID (supplier to confirm). The 50mm core ID is a standard small-roll format, but the mandrel diameter and expansion mechanism must be confirmed by the supplier. An incorrect core-to-mandrel match causes uneven film unrolling at high ring speed and increased film waste.
EXW freight responsibility. EXW transfers all risk at the supplier’s warehouse. You arrange and pay for sea freight, inland haulage, insurance, and customs clearance. Request a written FOB, CIF, or DDP alternative to enable a true landed-cost comparison.
MOQ 2000KG storage and cash flow. At an estimated 20–25 coils per roll and a monthly output of 500 coils, you need approximately 20–25 rolls per month. Multiply monthly rolls by the net roll weight and compare against the 2000KG MOQ. Request the net roll weight from the supplier to determine whether the MOQ fits your warehouse capacity and cash flow.
Cycle time and throughput. The quotation does not state cycle time per coil or output per hour. Without this data, you cannot validate whether the FPH-700 meets production volume targets. Request a stated pcs/hour figure as part of the factory test report.
Film storage conditions. Ask the supplier for the recommended storage temperature and humidity range for the PE stretch film. Follow the supplier’s written storage guidance to maintain film tack and stretch performance.
Multiple coil sizes. The machine must handle all four coil sizes in the table, not only the 720mm OD case. State the full production range in the PO, including the reconciled ID dimension.

🛠️ Frequently Asked Questions

The FPH-700 answers two procurement questions directly: full-size wrapping is required because the coil geometry — ID 290mm or 270mm, OD 720mm — cannot accommodate a through-eye C-Ring, and film costing depends on the supplier’s experience-based estimate of 40m per coil at USD 2.22/KG EXW. Both figures must be re-verified with factory test data and written quotes before PO issue.

Q1: Why does the supplier call the FPH-700 “full-size”? Because the C-Ring wraps the full outer surface of the coil and never enters the coil eye. The supplied coil geometry — ID 290mm (or 270mm per the coil table) with OD 720mm — leaves insufficient clearance for a C-Ring to pass through the eye, making full-size wrapping the only viable configuration.

Q2: How do I compare the 2000KG film MOQ against my monthly usage? Calculate: monthly coil output ÷ 20–25 coils per roll = monthly roll requirement. Multiply by the roll net weight (request this figure from the supplier) and compare against the 2000KG MOQ. If your monthly usage falls below the MOQ, the excess film inventory ties up cash and warehouse space.

Q3: What is the biggest cost risk in this quotation? The unvalidated film consumption figure and the EXW terms. The 40m-per-coil estimate and the USD 2.22/KG film price are both ex-works, meaning freight, customs, and inland delivery add cost after the PO. Request factory test data to validate film consumption, and request written FOB or DDP pricing to enable a true landed-cost comparison.

Q4: What acceptance test should I request? Request a witnessed factory acceptance test (FAT) using your actual hose coils. The test protocol must measure film coverage, edge folding, film breakage rate, cycle time, and actual film consumption per coil. The supplier’s demonstration video is informative but is not a substitute for a witnessed test with measured, recorded results.
