Reel Stretch Wrapping Machine

A reel strap wrapping machine, also known as roll strap wrapper or film wrapping machine, is a type of packaging equipment used to wrap reels, coils, or spools of paper, plastic film, wire, cable, or a variety of materials securely. It is done for wrapping. And this is done to be safe. Cloth. The machine applies stretch film around the reel, providing stability and preventing damage during handling, storage and transportation.


Here is a general overview of how reel stretch wrapping machines work:


  • Load the reel: The operator places the reel on the machine's turntable or conveyor system. Some machines may have additional features such as reel holders or adjustable arms to support the reel during the wrapping process.


  • Set Wrapping Parameters: The operator sets wrapping parameters such as number of revolutions, film tension, wrap speed and any additional settings specific to the machine.


  • Start Wrapping Cycle: The operator usually starts the wrapping cycle by pressing the start button or activating the foot pedal. Depending on the design, the machine begins to rotate the turntable or move the conveyor.


  • Film Application: As the reel rotates, a film carriage moves vertically or horizontally, spreading the stretch film around the reel. The film is stretched mechanically or pneumatically to apply tension and obtain a secure wrap. Film is usually pre-stretched to increase its length and reduce the amount of film used.


  • Film Cutting and Sealing: Once the desired number of turns or wrapping pattern is completed, the machine cuts the film using hot wire or a cutting mechanism. Some machines may also incorporate a heat-sealing feature to fuse the layers of film together for added strength and protection.


  • Unwinding the wound reel: After the winding cycle is complete, the operator removes the wound reel from the turntable or conveyor. The wrapped reel is now ready for storage or transportation.


Reel stretch wrapping machines offer many benefits, including improved load stability, protection from moisture, dust and damage, efficient material utilization and labor savings. They are commonly used in industries such as packaging, printing, wire and cable manufacturing, paper mills, textile production, etc.
