Horizontal Stretch Wrapping Machine: Continuous Wrapping Solution for Long and Irregular Products

Challenges in Packaging Long Products with Conventional Pallet Wrapping
In industries such as building materials, profiles, pipes, panels, and metal products, items are often long or difficult to rotate. Using pallet-based wrapping methods typically requires additional fixing or changes in stacking configuration, increasing packaging complexity. The horizontal stretch wrapping machine addresses these challenges by providing a packaging solution better suited to the natural form of long products.
Horizontal Conveying Structure Maintains Natural Product Position
The machine combines horizontal conveying with a wrapping system, allowing products to remain in their natural resting position on roller conveyors or support frames. During operation, products move steadily along the conveying direction while the wrapping mechanism rotates around the outer perimeter, evenly applying stretch film.
This structure minimizes manual handling and eliminates the need for flipping or repositioning long products, making the process more practical and efficient.
Continuous Wrapping for Stable External Coverage
Stretch film is applied in a spiral wrapping pattern around the product surface. By setting wrapping speed and overlap ratios, the film forms continuous coverage along the product length. This method avoids uneven seams caused by segmented wrapping and helps maintain consistent packaging quality.
Adjustable Parameters for Different Product Specifications
The horizontal stretch wrapping machine allows adjustment of wrapping speed, film tension, and coverage density, enabling it to handle products of varying lengths, widths, and weights. From uniform profiles to panels with variable cross-sections, appropriate wrapping results can be achieved through parameter settings.
Flexible Installation as Standalone or Integrated Equipment
The machine can operate as a standalone unit or be integrated with upstream and downstream processes based on production requirements. For products that do not require palletization, horizontal wrapping provides direct external packaging, reducing intermediate handling steps. Its straightforward structure and clear operation make it suitable for long-term use at production line ends or dedicated packaging zones.
Widely Used Across Long Product Industries
Horizontal stretch wrapping machines are widely applied in wood products, building materials, aluminum profiles, steel pipes, plastic profiles, and composite panels. External film wrapping helps reduce surface damage caused by friction and impact during transportation and storage while facilitating handling and inventory management.
A More Suitable Packaging Method for Non-Palletized Products
The horizontal stretch wrapping machine offers an effective packaging solution for long, irregular, and non-upright products. By combining rotating wrapping rings with linear product conveying, the machine achieves smooth and uniform external coverage, making it particularly suitable for surface protection of panels, profiles, and pipes.
