Wheel locks\u2014custom clamps or recessed channels\u2014hold the freezer in place during rotation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Wrapping process<\/strong> \u2013 Place the freezer onto the turntable, engage the four wheel locks (manual or pneumatic), and start the wrap cycle. The turntable rotates at 12\u201318\u202fRPM (typical for this machine type); the film carriage moves vertically at 0.2\u20130.5\u202fm\/s. Estimated cycle time per freezer is 40\u201360\u202fseconds. Film tension is adjustable for the 70\u201390\u202fkg weight range.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Load size limit<\/strong> \u2013 Common turntable diameters are 1200\u20131500\u202fmm. A freezer that is 1800\u202fmm long will overhang significantly. To accommodate the largest freezer, you need an extended\u2011diameter turntable (\u22652000\u202fmm) or a non\u2011rotating platform with a rotating arm (less common). Verify with the supplier whether an oversized turntable is available.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Advantages<\/strong> \u2013 Lower cost than orbital machines; familiar technology with many aftermarket parts; can wrap multiple sizes by adjusting wheel lock positions. <strong>Key Point:<\/strong> The wheel locks are manual unless you upgrade to pneumatic, adding an estimated US$800\u2013US$1,500 (typical range based on equipment suppliers).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Disadvantages<\/strong> \u2013 Load length over 1500\u202fmm risks overhang and instability; wheel locks add setup time; the turntable height (\u224880\u2013120\u202fmm) may not clear the lowest wheels (36\u202fmm) without a recessed platform. <strong>Turntable height and clearance vary by model and must be verified with the supplier.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/horizontal-orbital-stretch-wrapper.webp\" alt=\"horizontal orbital stretch wrapper\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>\ud83d\udcc8 Option B: Horizontal Orbital Ring Wrapper (Pass\u2011Through)<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Option B is a horizontal orbital ring wrapper where the freezer remains stationary on a short fixed platform while a rotating ring applies film around its four sides, eliminating the need for wheel restraints and handling loads up to 1800\u202fmm with ease.<\/strong> The machine uses a ring of film carriages that orbit the load at 25\u201340\u202fRPM (typical for these machines). The load sits on a low\u2011profile steel frame (height \u226425\u202fmm) that does not interfere with 36\u202fmm\u2011high wheels.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Wrapping process<\/strong> \u2013 Operator places the freezer on the stationary platform. The ring starts rotating; a film carriage travels along the ring axis (or the ring itself moves horizontally) to cover the full length. Four\u2011side coverage is achieved by programming the ring to stop before the top and bottom. Estimated cycle time is 50\u201380\u202fseconds per freezer, slower due to axial travel.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Load size compatibility<\/strong> \u2013 No turntable diameter limit; the ring opening is typically 1200\u202fmm \u00d7 1200\u202fmm to 2000\u202fmm \u00d7 1500\u202fmm. Your largest freezer (1800\u202f\u00d7\u202f630\u202f\u00d7\u202f900\u202fmm) fits easily. Load length is limited only by the machine&#8217;s axial stroke (often up to 2500\u202fmm). <strong>Key Point:<\/strong> The ring must have a minimum opening height of 1000\u202fmm to clear the freezer top; verify with supplier.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Advantages<\/strong> \u2013 No overhang risk; no manual wheel locking; handles variable wheel heights (36\u201375\u202fmm) automatically; consistent film tension. The stationary load reduces the chance of tipping. Floor space is roughly 2.5\u202f\u00d7\u202f2.5\u202fm (footprint depends on model).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Disadvantages<\/strong> \u2013 Higher initial investment. For standalone offline use, you may need to add a short conveyor to load\/unload, or use a forklift. Film consumption is slightly higher because the ring wraps extra layers at the corners\u2014a 15\u201320% increase relative to turntable wrappers is typical based on manufacturer specifications, but exact differential should be confirmed in a test with your specific film and cycle settings. Throughput is slightly slower than a turntable for short loads.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Comparison Table<\/h2>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Criterion<\/th>\n<th>Option A \u2013 Modified Turntable<\/th>\n<th>Option B \u2013 Horizontal Orbital Ring<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Stability<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Requires manual wheel locks; risk of movement if locks fail<\/td>\n<td>Load is stationary \u2013 no wheel locks needed; inherent stability<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Wrap Coverage<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>4\u2011side, film carriage covers full height including wheels<\/td>\n<td>4\u2011side, ring wraps uniform layers; film can be positioned precisely<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Load Size Compatibility<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Max length ~1500\u202fmm on standard turntable; need extended table for <strong>1800\u202fmm<\/strong>; height \u2264900\u202fmm fine<\/td>\n<td>Handles up to <strong>1800\u202fmm length<\/strong> with standard machines; height clearance \u22651000\u202fmm recommended<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Floor Space<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Approx. 2.0\u202f\u00d7\u202f2.0\u202fm (including operator access)<\/td>\n<td>Approx. 2.5\u202f\u00d7\u202f2.5\u202fm (larger footprint)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Capital Cost<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>US$8,000\u2013$12,000 with wheel lock upgrade (typical range, verify with supplier)<\/td>\n<td>US$15,000\u2013$22,000 (typical range for standalone orbital)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Throughput<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>40\u201360\u202fseconds\/load (faster for short loads)<\/td>\n<td>50\u201380\u202fseconds\/load (slower due to ring axial travel)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Ease of Operation<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Operator must position and lock wheels each cycle<\/td>\n<td>Operator positions load on platform; no locking steps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Film Consumption<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Standard (pre\u2011stretch 200\u2013250%)<\/td>\n<td>Slightly higher\u2014typically 15\u201320% more film due to ring overlap (estimate subject to machine calibration)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>\u2699\ufe0f Selection Advice<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Choose Option A (modified turntable) if your display freezers are predominantly under 1500\u202fmm length, you have a limited budget (under US$12,000), and you are willing to train operators to use manual wheel locks.<\/strong> For freezers that are always \u22641,500\u202fmm, the turntable solution is cost\u2011effective and fast. <strong>Key Point:<\/strong> Verify that the turntable height plus wheel lock recessing can accommodate the <strong>36\u202fmm minimum wheel height<\/strong>\u2014otherwise the freezer may scrape.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Choose Option B (horizontal orbital ring) if your fleet includes the 1800\u202fmm\u2011long freezers, you want to eliminate manual locking, or you are concerned about load tipping.<\/strong> The orbital wrapper handles all sizes without overhang and requires no wheel\u2011lock maintenance despite the higher upfront cost.
