Automated Stretch Wrapping for EPS Foam, ICF Forms & Insulation Boards
Eliminate edge-crush, optimize outbound freight space with volumetric compression, and integrate directly with robotic stacking cells and existing hot-wire cutting lines. Engineered specifically as turnkey end-of-line automation for insulating forms, including EPS foam blocks, XPS and ICF forms, rigid insulation boards, SIP panels, and PUR/PIR rigid foam. Offering uniform, six-sided wrapping capability, native ERP and WMS connectivity (via OPC UA, MQTT, and EtherNet/IP) for total traceability, and real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics, our systems ensure bundles act as a rigid unit for shipping and stacking.

The Surface Damage Bottleneck: Strapping Edge Crush
Strapping delicate Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam blocks or rigid insulation with traditional nylon or steel banding creates isolated, high-pressure pinch points. This crushes the delicate edges the way strapping often does, damages the product, and frequently leads to rejected shipments at the job site. *(Dealing with heavier building materials? See our solutions for Drywall, Gypsum & Plasterboard).*
The Solution: The Dynawrap Pro 2200W. Capable of integrating directly downstream from your EPS hot-wire cutting line, this high-speed automated orbital wrapper completely replaces damaging straps. It applies a uniform, gentle, adjustable film tension across the entire surface of the bundle. By creating a 6-sided wrapped unit, the machine absolutely prevents edge crush on foam while securing the blocks into a rigid, transport-ready package.
The "Featherweight" Bottleneck: Shifting Stacks & Static Dust
Multi-piece stacks of EPS and ICF forms are incredibly light. Standard wrapper rollers cause these "featherweight" stacks to shift or topple, while loose hand-wrapping allows static-charged factory dust to settle inside the bundle, leading to rejected deliveries at clean-room job sites.
The Solution: The Dynawrap Pro 1100. We engineer this cell with wide-pad, non-marring top pressers that gently stabilize the lightweight stack without digging into the top foam board. The orbital ring then applies a precise micro-tension film overlap, creating a 100% dust-proof, static-sealed unit that stays perfectly squared on the conveyor.
The Throughput Bottleneck: Labor-Intensive Stacking
Manually lifting, stacking, and packaging tall bundles of lightweight, highly volumetric insulation boards creates a massive labor bottleneck at the end of high-speed extrusion lines.
The Solution: The Dynawrap Pro 2200 Robotic Automation Cell. Engineered for enterprise environments, a robotic arm stacks up to 16-count insulation bundles directly onto the zero-footprint motorized infeed, offering seamless integration capabilities with existing cutting lines. Utilizing flexible enterprise PLC architectures (Beijer, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Beckhoff), the Pro 2200 connects via EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or native OPC UA servers. The machine executes direct string-based data exchanges with your WMS to process production orders, automatically reads the stack height, and triggers the wrap cycle. This creates a continuous, zero-labor end-of-line packaging cell where MQTT telemetry streams real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics directly to your cloud infrastructure to ensure maximum uptime.
The Shape Bottleneck: Irregular 90-Degree Profiles
Standard top-down presses on packaging machinery can crush or fail to secure irregular shapes like 90-degree corner EPS wall forms, leading to damaged product and unstable loads.
The Solution: The Dynawrap Pro 1100 utilizing our automated Constant Tensioning System. Watch as the machine flawlessly encapsulates these complex corner profiles *without* engaging the top-down presses. The precise, PLC-controlled tension secures the irregular shapes entirely through the force of the film, maintaining product integrity while ensuring a tight, reliable wrap.
The Capacity Bottleneck: Oversized Structural Panels (SIPs)
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) and large rigid foam sheets are highly volumetric and often exceed standard 4x8 dimensions. Their extreme width makes them impossible to unitize safely on standard turntable wrappers without the stack toppling. *(If you are wrapping steel-skinned versions of these panels, view our Insulated Metal Panels (IMP) wrappers).*
The Solution: The Dynawrap Pro 2200. Featuring a massive 85.4-inch (2170mm) wrapping ring clearance, it easily accommodates oversized structural panels and 4x8 sheet equivalents. By adjusting the automated film tension via the HMI, the machine acts as a volumetric compressor while providing full six-sided wrapping capability (enveloping the ends as well as the sides - with optional welding unit). This safely squeezes trapped air out of the bundle so you can fit more product onto a single outbound truck.

Technical FAQ: EPS Foam & SIP Panel Wrapping
How does the orbital wrapper prevent edge-crush on delicate EPS foam blocks and rigid insulation boards?
The Dynawrap Pro Series entirely replaces damaging nylon or steel strapping, which creates high-pressure point loads. Instead, the orbital ring applies a wide, overlapping web of stretch film with gentle, highly adjustable tension. This distributes the containment force evenly across the entire surface of the foam block, locking it into a rigid, 6-sided unit without crushing the delicate edges.
Can the packaging cell handle irregularly shaped 90-degree EPS corner wall forms without damaging the product?
Yes. For complex shapes like 90-degree ICF corner forms, the wrapper utilizes a Constant Tensioning System (CTS) governed by the PLC. This allows the machine to flawlessly encapsulate the irregular profile purely through optimized film tension, completely disengaging the top-down pneumatic presses to ensure the foam is never crushed.
What is the maximum payload width for oversized Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs)?
To accommodate massive building materials that dwarf standard packaging equipment, the Dynawrap Pro 2200 features an enormous 85.4-inch (2170mm) internal ring clearance. This allows it to safely wrap oversized SIP panels, 4x8 sheet equivalents, and large prefabricated wall segments directly off the production line.
How does the equipment interface with automated EPS hot-wire cutting lines and robotic stacking cells?
The wrappers feature native OPC UA servers, EtherNet/IP, and PROFINET capabilities via Beckhoff, Siemens, or Allen-Bradley PLCs. Standardized execution I/O allows robotic arms (like FANUC or ABB) to safely stack insulation bundles directly onto the zero-footprint motorized infeed, while MQTT telemetry streams real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics to your cloud infrastructure.
Is this machine considered a tunnel wrapper for EPS blocks and SIP panels?
Yes. In the insulation and building materials sector, horizontal orbital wrappers are frequently referred to as tunnel wrappers or pass-through wrappers. The machine features a large rotating ring (up to 85.4 inches in diameter for the Pro 2200) that creates a physical 'tunnel' through which EPS blocks, ICF forms, and SIP panels are conveyed while being continuously wrapped in 6-sided stretch film.
