Overview of Reel Wrapping Machines

A reel wrapping machine is specifically engineered to wrap items such as paper, film, and foil that are produced in roll form. These machines are versatile, and you can find two primary types available in the market to suit your requirements:

1. Axial Wrapping: This type of machine wraps material around the reel along its longitudinal axis while applying film layers across its face.
2. Radial Wrapping: In contrast, radial wrapping machines encase the entire outer surface of the reel with layers of film.

Depending on your operational needs, you can choose the appropriate machine for optimized performance.

Varieties of Reel Wrapping Machines

Reel wrapping machines are also categorized based on their size into three types:

1. Manual Reel Wrapper
2. Small Reel Wrapper
3. Large Reel Wrapper

The machine effectively applies longitudinal wraps at a consistent overlap, securely creating a cocoon-like packaging solution. This method ensures your products are safeguarded against moisture and dust particles.

The advanced reel wrapping machine can accommodate a wide range of reel diameters and lengths, making it a versatile option for various industries. Additionally, it can be modified to function as a two-in-one machine, enabling quick transitions from reel wrapping to standard pallet stretch wrapping with just a selector switch. Integrating this equipment into conveyor systems is also a simple process if required.

Technical Specifications and Power Requirements

Reel forms of paper, film, and foils can be cumbersome to wrap manually, which is where the reel wrapper shines. Recognized by the prestigious 'PACMACHINE' award, this machine effectively tackles heavy materials.

The device functions on a 440V, 3-phase, 15 Amps power supply and is capable of stretch wrapping reels of various sizes, accommodating weights of up to 1.5 tons in a cocoon-style package. It can seamlessly shift between reel wrapping and full automatic pallet wrapping modes.

Thanks to electronic drives and microprocessor-based cycle programmers, users can ensure consistent film consumption across all wrapped reels and pallets. The built-in pre-stretch unit allows for up to 300% stretching of the LLDPE stretchable cling film before application, optimizing production efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Key Features of Reel Wrapping Machines

Here are some notable features of reel wrapping machines:

1. Functions as both a reel and pallet wrapper with a simple switch for transition.
2. Tracks stretch percentage and film usage for each reel or pallet.
3. Supports a broad range of reel diameters.
4. Offers various protection levels with adjustable turntable and reel speeds.
5. Fully automated operation.
6. Robust design for handling weights up to 1.5 tonnes.
7. Accessible low-profile turntable for easier loading and unloading.
8. Allows for pit mounting to enable ground-level operations.
9. Utilizes pre-stretched film via an advanced powered unit.
10. Flexible film stretch adjustments for ideal protection and cost efficiency.
11. Perfect for materials like paper, film, foils, and tire cord fabrics produced in reel formats.
12. Minimizes film usage through its unique stretching capabilities.

Advantages of Reel Wrapping

Implementing a reel wrapping machine can lead to quick returns on investment thanks to its numerous advantages:

1. Provides protection against moisture, dust, and foreign particles.
2. Reduces packaging time and labor requirements.
3. Prevents telescoping of film rolls.
4. Facilitates easy identification of wrapped products.
5. Recognized globally as a reliable packaging solution.
6. Ensures consistent packing quality.

Applications Across Various Industries

Reel wrapping machines find utility in diversified sectors, including:

1. Paper Industry: The paper industry, involving companies that produce various cellulose products using wood, heavily relies on reel wrapping machines for effective packaging solutions.
2. Radial Tire Industry: This industry utilizes reel wrapping machines for efficient tire packaging.
3. Laminated Roll Industry: Machines are used for the lamination process, which adds plastic layers for enhanced protection of printed rolls.
4. Irrigation Industry: The irrigation sector employs various wrapping machines, including flat and round drip wrapping machines for packaging requirements.
5. Trade Rubber Industry: This industry benefits from the implementation of reel wrapping machines for packaging trade rubber effectively.
6. PP Rope Industry: Reel wrapping machines are commonly used for wrapping bundles of PP ropes, known for their robustness and moisture resistance.

Using a pallet wrapping machine can lead to substantial savings, especially for high-volume users shifting from manual wrapping to automatic systems. For significant cost reduction, acquiring a powered pre-stretched wrapping machine is crucial.

For more details on our range of pallet wrapping machines, click here.

How It Works:
A powered pre-stretch machine operates by stretching the wrap beyond the abilities of standard machines or hand wrappers. It accomplishes this by extending the wrapping material through power rollers.

A pre-stretch machine can stretch one meter of wrap to three meters.

The test covered different machines and manual wrapping.

All pallets were wrapped three times at the base and top, plus vertical wraps.

Machine Settings:
Electromagnetic brake machine set to 65% film braking with three bottom and three top wraps.

PPS Machine Settings:
Configured with a 220% PPS ratio (3.2x) for three bottom and three top wraps.

The analysis reveals substantial savings and efficiency improvements using the powered pre-stretch machine.

Environmental Benefits:
Using a PPS machine minimizes waste as less film is required. If sustainability is a concern, inquire about our new biodegradable stretch wrap options.

Improved Load Retention:
Pre-stretched wrap secures products better than manual or conventional machines. The wrap's intention to retract ensures your goods are held firmly.

Ideal for Light Goods:
The PPS machine minimizes force on goods during the wrapping process, making it suitable for very light loads without a top pressor plate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the machine wrap too thin and cause tearing?
This is not a concern; PPS machines utilize sensitive dancer rollers or load cells, applying minimal force, which significantly reduces the risk of tearing.

To test the machine's capabilities, we wrapped some of the sharpest items available in our warehouse with pre-stretched film; observe how tightly the wrap adheres, despite the thin film application of about 8um.

Do I need specific film types?
Yes, only machine-grade film compatible with our PPS machines having stretching capabilities of +200% should be used.

What models of PPS machines do you offer?
We provide various models to fit your requirements.
