8 Benefits of Orbital Wrappers You Should Know | Handle It, Inc.

Orbital stretch wrappers allow you to quickly and efficiently wrap almost any object in flexible packaging film but the benefits of this versatile, cost-saving technology go far beyond that.

Let’s take a closer look at what a horizontal orbital stretch wrapper is, and break down some of the immediate and long-term benefits of adding one to your packaging workflow.

What Are Orbital Wrappers?

Orbital stretch wrappers (also known as ring wrappers, horizontal wrappers, or ringers) were introduced in , and are designed to bundle items and to protect surfaces from debris and damage. The film can be applied in specific sections or across the entire surface at high rates of speed.

For more than three decades, orbital wrapping machines have excelled in the following industries: woodworking, millwork, metals, extrusions, paneling and flooring, window and doors, textiles, and many more. We also have a unique c-style machine that wraps through open objects like tires, rolled products, rings, coils, and window frames.

Benefits of Our Orbital Wrappers

By automating the horizontal wrapping of almost any item, orbital wrappers make it easier to package materials quickly and cost-effectively, boosting your plant capacity.

Other benefits of our orbital wrappers include:

  • Consistent protection of materials during shipping and handling
  • Easy to use and maintain
  • 35 years of developing the best machines on the market
  • Savings on packaging materials and resources
  • Reduced labor costs
  • Improved worker safety and comfort
  • Customizable handling for specialized applications.

Types of Orbital Wrappers

Orbital wrappers typically come in one of three main designs. Depending on the application or the level of automation a handling or packaging application requires, users can choose between:

  • Semi-automatic horizontal orbital wrappers: The operator manually feeds product through the ring and initiates wrapping with a foot pedal. Greatly increases throughput. All of our machines come standard with dual film reels with auto clamp and cut.
  • Automatic horizontal orbital wrappers: Implemented with power conveyor and photo eyes these machines will automatically feed product through the ring and wrap the item and advance it down the line.
  • C-style round products orbital wrappers: These machines can either be manually spun or placed on a driven roller table and are used for bundling round or “pass-through” products like tires, rolls of wire or tubing, and door or window frames.

How Do Orbital Wrappers Work?

All orbital wrappers have a ring with a stretch film reel carrier that will apply film as the ring spins around the product. They can be impulse controlled by foot pedal, hand pendant, or managed by a PLC.

Modern orbital wrappers from suppliers like Handle It® come standard with dual film reels, automatic clamp and cutting along with a high degree of safety built in like a fully enclosed ring so that moving parts are not exposed and a blade guard to prevent injury. Our controls range from simple dial controls to advanced HMI touch screens with user friendly interfacing and simple to control parameters.

3. Improved Protection and Coverage

Machine wrapping improves the quality and consistency of your packaging. You’ll improve the protection of your products during shipping and handling and protect the items around them.

Orbital wrapping provides both the load containment of the film along with the coverage to help prevent dirt and debris and surface scratches that a strapping machine could not. You can also apply bubble rolls, foam or cardboard prior to wrapping to give your product additional protection. The stretch film of the orbital neatly bundles this additional protection layer.

4. Savings on Cost and Material

With effective orbital wrapping, you’ll often deliver a similar or better level of protection while consuming less film or other materials. You’ll save on material costs while improving your environmental footprint.

By wrapping your materials more effectively you will also often be able to reduce the size of your packaged products, allowing you to save on shipping costs or store items more efficiently.

5. Better Health and Safety

Lifting and handling heavy items like cabinetry or tires is hard and hazardous work. Protect your workers from injury by automating the wrapping of bulky, heavy, and awkward objects.

Horizontal orbital wrappers are designed to improve the safety and ergonomics of packaging work, especially when integrated with other handling equipment, significantly reducing the risk of accidents or absences due to injury.

Our machines also have safety built into the design. Things like our fully enclosed ring, guarded blades and LED lighting to alert if there is an emergency stop.

6. Smarter Work

Orbital wrapping equipment reduces the labor needed for any packaging operation while boosting capacity and thereby dramatically increasing productivity.

With labor in short supply, you’ll get more out of your available workforce and will free up staff to add value to your operation in other ways.
