Anย Orbital Wrapping Machineย is also known as a Spiral Wrapper or Horizontal Wrapping Machine. These machines have a flat conveyor table feeding into a round opening. Here a roll ofย spiral wrap stretch filmย rotates around the product on the turntable to wrap the item.
Orbital machines are ideal for wrapping items that are long items that are difficult to wrap manually. They are commonly used for wrapping and protecting products like doors, pipes, tubes, carpet rolls, and rods.

How to Select the Right Type of Orbital Wrapping Machine
When selecting an Orbital Wrapper, it's important to take the time to ensure you get one that will suit the product's sizes and wrapping volumes. Here are some important factors to consider before purchasing a machine:
What is the daily wrapping volume?
Before choosing a machine, you need to determine the wrapping volume. Donโt only consider your current volumes. Also, estimate what your future volumes may be to ensure your machines will still cope with an increase. Orbital stretch wrappers are available in automatic or semi-automatic models with different futures.
What are the dimensions of the product?
These machines have been designed to accommodate various sizes of items. Not every orbital wrapper will be able to wrap any size product. The item must be able to fit through the film-rotating hole.

Benefits of Using an Orbital Wrapping Machine
There are many advantages of using a Spiral wrap machine compared to manually wrapping your products. This is the reason these machines are commonly found in warehouses and manufacturing plants. Some of the benefits include:
- Greater productivityย โ Increase your warehouse efficiency and output with automated orbital wrapping systems.
- Cost savingsย โ Time = Money. An Orbital wrapper can pay off itself to labor cost reduction.
- Enhanced safetyย โ Especially when items are heavy, it can be very difficult to manually wrap products. Items need to be lifted and rotated to wrap which can cause safety hazards.
- Consistent applicationย โ Ensure your products are wrapping professionally and consistently
- Load integrityย โย If your items arenโt wrapped securely products can be loose in transit. This can result in product damage or potentially cause a safety hazard.
