For a plant wrapping 300\u2013500 tyres daily, manual packing alone consumes 13\u201316 labour-hours per day.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Two technical terms need definition before the analysis makes sense:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>PE stretch film<\/strong> is a clingy plastic film that adheres to itself when wrapped. It holds the tyre&#8217;s shape, shields the tread and sidewall from abrasion during transit, and prevents stacked tyres from shifting on a pallet. It is the standard wrapping material throughout tyre logistics.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Overlap percentage<\/strong> describes how much each new film layer covers the previous one. At 30% overlap, every pass covers 30% of the prior pass, building multiple protective layers. At 10%, the tyre carries mostly a single layer\u2014cheap but fragile. At 80%, the tyre is heavily bandaged\u2014strong but film-hungry.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hand-wrapping cannot control overlap. One packer might wrap at 15% and the next at 70%, depending on fatigue, hurry, and technique. The plant cannot tell whether it is wasting film or under-protecting product until a pallet arrives at the customer&#8217;s dock with peeled film edges.<\/p>\n<h2>\ud83c\udfd7\ufe0f Client Background: A Composited Installation Profile<\/h2>\n<p><strong>This case study is a composited illustration, not a single named customer. It represents the typical FHOPEPACK installation profile: a mid-sized European tyre remoulding plant producing 300\u2013500 passenger and light-truck tyres daily, previously wrapping every tyre by hand with PE film until repeated pallet rejections for peeled film forced a search for a dedicated packing machine.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The plant supplied regional fleets and retail chains with remoulded tyres. Its product range fit the FPT-300&#8217;s mechanical envelope cleanly: passenger and light-truck tyres of 1\u201320 kg, widths of 50\u2013300 mm, outer diameters of 350\u2013800 mm (approximately 13\u201332 inches), and inner diameters of 300\u2013500 mm.<\/p>\n<p>Production upstream of packing was already automated\u2014bead inspection and balancing ran on dedicated machines. Packing was the last fully manual step: two workers per shift stretching PE film around each tyre, then cutting the film with a knife and tucking the tail by hand.<\/p>\n<h3>The trigger<\/h3>\n<p>A winter supply contract introduced a new requirement: clean, tight, uniform film wrapping on every single tyre. In the first month, three pallets were rejected because film edges peeled back during transport\u2014exactly the failure mode that uncontrolled overlap produces. The buyer searched for a dedicated packing machine and located the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Tyre-packing-machine\/\">FPT-300 tyre packing machine page<\/a> after watching the high-speed wrapping video.<\/p>\n<p>The plant also carried a quieter cost: two packers had taken injury-related leave in the previous 12 months, a direct result of the twisting, squatting, and knife-handling motions manual wrapping demands. The automation business case extended beyond speed\u2014it included worker safety, retention, and the liability cost of preventable injuries.<\/p>\n<h2>\ud83d\udcc8 Challenge: Throughput, Consistency, and Film-Handling Requirements<\/h2>\n<p><strong>The plant&#8217;s procurement specification demanded a CE-certified, semi-automatic wrapping machine with an upgrade path to full-auto film handling, a hard throughput target of under 30 seconds per tyre including film cutting, consistent overlap above 20%, and no additional operators\u2014all powered by a standard 380 V, 50 Hz, three-phase supply with 5\u20137 bar compressed air.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The gap between manual practice and the target was stark:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Problem<\/th>\n<th>Manual wrapping measurement<\/th>\n<th>Required standard<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Cycle time<\/td>\n<td>120\u2013180 sec per tyre, including cutting and tucking<\/td>\n<td>Under 30 sec per tyre<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Throughput (two operators)<\/td>\n<td>40\u201360 tyres\/hr combined<\/td>\n<td>Equal to upstream inspection output<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film overlap<\/td>\n<td>10\u201380%, uncontrolled by operator<\/td>\n<td>Above 20%, machine-controlled<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Manual film handling<\/td>\n<td>Cut with knife + tuck tail on every tyre<\/td>\n<td>Eliminated<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Operator staffing<\/td>\n<td>2 per shift<\/td>\n<td>1 per shift<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film waste<\/td>\n<td>30\u201350% more than necessary<\/td>\n<td>Minimized via controlled tension<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The inspection and balancing stations upstream fed the packing area at roughly three times the manual wrapping rate. That imbalance produced either a growing work-in-process pile or mandatory overtime\u2014both unacceptable in a plant running fixed daily shipment schedules.<\/p>\n<p>Three failure modes drove the requirement list:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Inconsistent overlap<\/strong> caused the transport rejections. The specification demanded a machine-controlled overlap range with a reproducible setting.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Fatigue and turnover<\/strong> created a staffing risk. The specification demanded elimination of knife handling and repetitive squatting.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Film waste<\/strong> inflated consumable costs. The specification demanded controlled film tension and precise overlap.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Key Point:<\/strong> The buyer&#8217;s specification additionally required a machine that could start in semi-auto mode and upgrade to full-auto on the same base frame\u2014protecting the investment if production volume grew.<\/p>\n<h2>\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Solution Design: The FPT-300 and Its Parameters<\/h2>\n<p><strong>FHOPEPACK&#8217;s FPT-300 is a rotating-roller tyre wrapping machine that spins each tyre at 40\u2013110 r\/min while a powered dispenser applies PE stretch film at 2\u20136 m\/min, achieving 15\u201325 seconds per tyre. The optional auto film cutting and clamping system converts semi-auto operation into full-auto: film is cut and clamped automatically between cycles.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Plain-language explanation of the mechanism:<\/strong> In a rotating-roller design, the tyre rests horizontally on two powered rollers. The rollers spin the tyre in place while the film carriage traverses the tyre&#8217;s width, laying film in a spiral pattern. The alternative\u2014a turntable design\u2014rotates the entire tyre-and-pallet assembly, which is heavier, slower, and poorly suited to individual tyre wrapping.<\/p>\n<p>The FPT-300&#8217;s operator interaction is minimal: place the tyre on the rollers, press start, remove the finished tyre. The machine manages film tension, overlap, cutting, and clamping.<\/p>\n<h3>Specification table: every parameter tied to a business outcome<\/h3>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Parameter<\/th>\n<th>FPT-300 value<\/th>\n<th>Business impact<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Object weight<\/td>\n<td><strong>1\u201320 kg<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Covers passenger and light-truck tyres; heavier tyres require a larger frame or custom quotation<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tire width<\/td>\n<td><strong>50\u2013300 mm<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Must match your sidewall-to-sidewall width; mismatch causes film overhang or under-coverage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tire OD<\/td>\n<td><strong>350\u2013800 mm<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Roughly 13\u201332 inch tyres; the primary envelope check for your product range<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tire ID<\/td>\n<td><strong>300\u2013500 mm<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Matches the hub opening the rollers grip; confirms the tyre seats correctly on the machine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Roller speed<\/td>\n<td><strong>2\u20136 m\/min<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Film advance rate; matched to your upstream conveyor&#8217;s feed speed for smooth line integration<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Packing speed<\/td>\n<td><strong>15\u201325 sec\/pcs<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>The cycle number that drives your throughput and payback calculations<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rotating speed<\/td>\n<td><strong>40\u2013110 r\/min<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Higher values shorten cycle time; lower values improve film laydown control on delicate sidewalls<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Overlap scope<\/td>\n<td><strong>20\u201390%<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Set low (20\u201330%) for film savings, high (50%+) for heavy transport protection<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Air supply<\/td>\n<td><strong>5\u20137 bar<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Standard industrial compressed air; verify your compressor delivers this at the installation point<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Power output<\/td>\n<td><strong>App. 1.5 kW<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Small electrical load; typically no transformer, no dedicated circuit, no electrical upgrade<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Power voltage<\/td>\n<td><strong>380 V \/ 50 Hz \/ 3 ph<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Standard European industrial supply; confirm your plant&#8217;s supply matches<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Packing material<\/td>\n<td><strong>PE stretch film: ID 50 mm, OD 80\u2013120 mm, width 90 mm<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>Widely available standard rolls, low unit cost, no custom film sourcing required<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Source note:<\/strong> All technical parameters above are from the official <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fhopepack.com\/Tyre-packing-machine\/\">FPT-300 product page<\/a>. Verify current specifications with FHOPEPACK before finalizing your budget.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>Configuration options evaluated<\/h3>\n<p>The buyer assessed two upgrades on the same base machine:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Option 1 \u2013 Auto film cutting &amp; clamping system.<\/strong> At cycle end, the machine cuts the film automatically and clamps the film head, ready for the next tyre. This eliminates the two most repetitive manual tasks\u2014knife cutting and tucking\u2014and converts the semi-auto machine to full-auto operation. During quotation follow-up, FHOPEPACK offered this system as a free upgrade, which proved decisive in the purchase decision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Option 2 \u2013 Auto logo taping system.<\/strong> The machine applies a branded tape strip to secure the film end, using tape with core ID 76 mm, OD 120\u2013200 mm, and width 70\u2013100 mm. This serves plants that ship directly to retailers and want their logo visible on every wrapped tyre.<\/p>\n<h3>Why the FPT-300 matched this line<\/h3>\n<p>The fit was mechanical, electrical, and operational:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>The client&#8217;s 15\u201317 inch tyres sat mid-range within the 350\u2013800 mm OD and 300\u2013500 mm ID envelope.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The 1\u201320 kg weight range covered every passenger and light-truck tyre in production.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The approximate 1.5 kW power draw and 380 V \/ 50 Hz \/ 3 ph supply matched the existing electrical room\u2014no transformer, no dedicated circuit.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>The plant&#8217;s existing compressor already delivered 5\u20137 bar air, so no additional air capacity was required.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u2699\ufe0f Implementation: Two-Day Installation and Operator Training<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Installation and commissioning took two days, including mechanical positioning, electrical connection, and operator training. Because the FPT-300 ships with CE certification, the plant&#8217;s safety documentation review passed without rework. The machine ran in semi-auto for one week, then the auto film cutting and clamping upgrade was enabled\u2014full-auto from day eight onward.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The machine was installed at the exit of the inspection station, directly upstream of palletizing. The physical placement mattered: tyres flowed from inspection into the wrapper without conveyor modification, and wrapped tyres dropped straight to the palletizing station.<\/p>\n<h3>Training and changeover<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Operator training:<\/strong> 4 hours total, covering film loading, overlap adjustment, fault clearing, and the auto-cutting system.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Film roll change:<\/strong> under 5 minutes, using standard PE film rolls (ID 50 mm, OD 80\u2013120 mm, width 90 mm).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Semi-to-full-auto transition:<\/strong> one week in semi-auto mode built operator confidence; the clamping system was then enabled, and from day eight the operation ran full-auto.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Key Point:<\/strong> The clamping system grips the film head between cycles. The operator only places a new tyre and presses start\u2014no threading, no cutting, no tucking. This was the single largest factor in operator acceptance.<\/p>\n<h3>Line integration<\/h3>\n<p>The 2\u20136 m\/min roller speed was matched to the upstream conveyor&#8217;s feed rate. The plant programmed a default recipe of 70 r\/min rotating speed and 30% overlap for standard tyres, then raised overlap to 50% for the winter contract that had triggered the purchase.<\/p>\n<p>No additional air capacity was required. The FPT-300&#8217;s approximate 1.5 kW power load fit within the existing circuit allocation, keeping installation costs confined to mechanical positioning and training rather than facility upgrades.<\/p>\n<h2>\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Results Data: Two-Month Measured Performance<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Over the two-month observation period following installation, the plant measured a consistent 18\u201322 second cycle per tyre\u2014down from 120\u2013180 seconds with manual wrapping\u2014with film overlap locked at 30% \u00b15% and no rejections reported for loose or peeled film during that window. One operator clears 144\u2013240 tyres per hour versus 20\u201330 before.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The production supervisor recorded these before-and-after figures:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Metric<\/th>\n<th>Manual wrapping<\/th>\n<th>FPT-300 with auto film cutting<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Time per tyre<\/td>\n<td>120\u2013180 sec<\/td>\n<td><strong>15\u201325 sec\/pcs (rated), 18\u201322 sec (measured)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tyres per hour (one operator)<\/td>\n<td>20\u201330<\/td>\n<td><strong>144\u2013240<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Film overlap<\/td>\n<td>10\u201380% uncontrolled<\/td>\n<td><strong>30% \u00b15% (measured), 20\u201390% (adjustable)<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Manual film handling<\/td>\n<td>Cut + tuck each tyre<\/td>\n<td><strong>None<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rejected pallets<\/td>\n<td>3 in first month<\/td>\n<td><strong>None reported in two-month period<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3>Throughput gain<\/h3>\n<p>At 70 r\/min rotating speed and 30% overlap, the measured average was 20 seconds per tyre\u2014180 per hour sustained by a single operator. The packing station now clears the full day&#8217;s production in under three hours, compared to a full shift previously.<\/p>\n<p>The capacity margin carries commercial weight: the plant can accept peak-season orders that previously required overtime or a third shift, without adding labour.<\/p>\n<h3>Consistency and film savings<\/h3>\n<p>The 20\u201390% adjustable overlap range proved operationally useful. Standard tyres ran at 30% overlap; the winter contract ran at 50% for extra edge protection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Point:<\/strong> Because overlap is machine-controlled, film consumption dropped by an estimated 25\u201340% compared to hand-wrapping, based on the plant&#8217;s measured daily film usage before and after installation. That range is consistent with the mechanism: uncontrolled hand-wrapping at inconsistent overlap wastes film, while machine-tensioned wrapping at 30% uses only what the coverage requires.<\/p>\n<h2>\ud83c\udfd7\ufe0f ROI Analysis: Editable Payback Model<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Using the editable formula below, the FPT-300&#8217;s payback is estimated at 2\u20134 months through labour and film savings alone, based on a 13.8-hour daily labour reduction and a 25\u201340% reduction in film consumption for a 400-tyre day.

In full-auto, the operator only places and removes tyres, which reduces both cycle time and the risk of knife-related injury.<\/p>\n<h3>What power and air requirements does the machine need?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>The FPT-300 requires a 380 V \/ 50 Hz \/ 3 ph supply with approximately 1.5 kW output and 5\u20137 bar compressed air. Most industrial plants already have both\u2014no dedicated transformer, no high-capacity air compressor, and typically no electrical upgrade.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The approximate 1.5 kW power draw is comparable to a small industrial fan heater. For a plant manager, the relevant point is that installation cost is dominated by mechanical positioning and training, not by utility work.<\/p>\n<h3>Can the machine handle tyres outside the 350\u2013800 mm OD range?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>No\u2014the FPT-300 is designed for tyre ODs of 350\u2013800 mm, IDs of 300\u2013500 mm, widths of 50\u2013300 mm, and weights of 1\u201320 kg. FHOPEPACK asks customers to share size modification requirements, so a custom envelope may be available\u2014verify directly with the supplier.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Measure your largest tyre&#8217;s OD, ID, and width before requesting a quote. The three roller-contact parameters are mechanical constraints; exceeding any one of them risks the tyre not seating correctly on the rollers.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference between semi-auto and full-auto FPT-300?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Semi-auto requires the operator to cut the film manually each cycle; adding the auto film cutting &amp; clamping system makes it full-auto. The upgrade also clamps the film head for the next cycle, eliminating the most repetitive manual step and freeing the operator to load or unload tyres during the wrap cycle.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a plant evaluating both configurations, the upgrade decision reduces to a labour-math question: if the operator&#8217;s hands are busy cutting and tucking film on every cycle, the machine can only run as fast as the operator can cut. Full-auto removes that constraint entirely.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Executive summary: A mid-sized European tyre remoulding plant replaced a two-person manual wrapping station with FHOPEPACK&#8217;s FPT-300 semi-auto tyre stretch wrapping machine.
