Automated Stretch Wrapping for Fencing Materials & Vinyl Railings
Secure loose vinyl fence posts, wooden pickets, chainlink rolls, welded wire fencing, aluminum handrails, and fully assembled wooden panels. Designed to unitize rigid, uneven bundles and 12-20 ft fence sections, our horizontal stretch wrappers (ring wrappers) eradicate cracked extrusions caused by aggressive banding. Featuring native ERP and WMS connectivity (via OPC UA, MQTT, and EtherNet/IP) for total traceability and real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics, they deploy absolute weather protection for inventory staged outdoors at commercial lumber yards and retail hardware stores.

The Damage Bottleneck: Cracked Vinyl Profiles
Whether you are packaging 8 ft, 12 ft, or 20 ft elongated products, vinyl fencing and aluminum handrails are incredibly susceptible to localized pressure. When manufacturers use traditional poly or steel banding to secure a bundle of long fence sections, the pressure instantly cracks the corners or dents the aluminum, rendering the product unsellable.
The Solution: Distributed surface tension via integration with roller conveyors. The Dynawrap Pro 1100 rotating ring stretch wrapper entirely replaces damaging strapping. Our advanced systems utilize dual film carriages to reinforce ends and run two films at once. Featuring variable RPM and adjustable pre-stretch percentages, the machine unitizes rigid, uneven bundles securely while distributing the holding force evenly, ensuring zero corner cracking or friction scratching.
The Handling Bottleneck: Floppy Chainlink & Wide Clearances
Heavy wire mesh and tall chainlink fencing rolls are floppy and prone to unraveling. Furthermore, standard wrappers lack the internal clearance required for wide fence panels, forcing facilities to resort to manual bundling.
The Solution: The Dynawrap Pro 1400. To clear wide bundles, fencing operations require at least 1,200–1,500 mm (47–59 in) internal clearance. The Pro Series offers rings up to 2,170 mm (85.4 in). Operating as a fully automatic line driven by photocells and programmed PLC cycles, this machine integrates flexible enterprise PLC architectures (Beijer, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Beckhoff) connected via EtherNet/IP or native OPC UA servers. It executes direct string-based data exchanges with your WMS to process high-throughput production orders while MQTT telemetry streams real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics directly to your cloud. It easily pulls heavy rolls of wire fencing straight through the packaging cell, preventing unraveling and creating a rigid, easily stackable product.
The Environmental Bottleneck: Retail Yard Staging
Unlike indoor commodities, fencing materials - especially untreated wood pickets and large railing assemblies - are universally staged outdoors in retail lumber yards. Direct rain causes oversized wooden panels to warp and rot, while severe sun exposure degrades plastic packaging and bleaches vinyl before a customer even buys it.
The Solution: Absolute weatherproofing with uncompromised safety. Engineered with heavy industrial safeguards (covered rotating rings, emergency stops, film-change interlocks, and guard rails), our custom systems are designed to prevent banding, surface damage, and UV exposure. When integrated with our W-Series Hybrid Welding Option, the line automatically drapes and welds a heavy-duty, waterproof PE bag over the fence panels before applying the final stretch film, keeping the lumber completely dry during months of outdoor retail storage.
Enterprise Automation: Dynawrap LUMI™ 3D Algorithmic Vision
Achieve true recipe-free autonomy on mixed-product extrusion and mill lines. Available as an option across the Pro Series, the LUMI™ System utilizes an Intel® depth-sensing 3D camera and a dedicated embedded controller.
Volumetric Scanning
As mixed bundles of vinyl posts or varying sizes of assembled wooden panels enter the zone, the system executes real-time 3D scanning to determine the exact geometry.
Automated PLC Handshake
Our proprietary algorithm automatically calculates and pushes the optimal wrapping parameters directly to the machine's PLC.
Zero-Touch Operation
Operators simply select 'Optimum' or 'Heavy' protection modes on the HMI, and the machine handles the rest - preventing operator error and cracked profiles.
Industry 4.0 Ready: Robotic Cell Integration
Engineered for absolute end-of-line autonomy. Our wrappers serve as plug-and-play nodes for highly automated fencing mills and extrusion plants, supporting direct handshakes with FANUC, ABB, and KUKA robots.
Native SCADA Protocols
Seamless communication via EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, and MQTT for centralized ERP/WMS data exchange and telemetry logging.
Automated Handshakes
Standardized execution I/O (Ready, Start, Busy, Complete, Fault) allowing upstream robotics to safely load and trigger wrapping cycles.
Predictive Maintenance
Stream real-time VFD faults, motor speeds, heater temperatures, and cycle counts directly to command centers to eliminate unplanned downtime.
EHS Perimeter Safety
CIP Safety and PROFIsafe network integration, paired with hardwired optical light curtains for zero-touch operational security.
Fencing Consumables Ecosystem
Fencing materials require packaging that holds up against brutal environmental exposure. Our premium Cast Clear Machine Stretch Film provides the necessary load retention for heavy wooden panels and slippery vinyl posts without the cracking hazard of traditional strapping.
Crucially, because fence panels, vinyl railings, and chainlink rolls are overwhelmingly stored outdoors in commercial lumber yards and retail centers, deploying our UVI (Ultraviolet Inhibitor) Stretch Film is mandatory. This specialized film prevents the plastic layers from degrading, flaking, or weakening under direct, prolonged sun exposure.
Technical FAQ: Fencing & Vinyl Railing Wrapping
How does the orbital wrapping process prevent cracking and surface damage on hollow vinyl extrusions and aluminum handrails?
The Dynawrap Pro Series replaces damaging steel or poly strapping - which causes high-pressure point loads - with distributed film tension. The machine utilizes variable RPM and dual film carriages with adjustable pre-stretch, allowing the HMI to deliver an evenly distributed containment force that secures rigid, uneven profiles without cracking hollow vinyl corners or denting aluminum.
Can the equipment accommodate oversized, fully assembled wooden fence panels and heavy rolls of chainlink?
Yes. While compact wrappers cannot clear these dimensions, our Pro Series scales up to massive 2,170 mm (85.4 inch) ring clearances. The system utilizes heavy-duty VFD synchronized roller conveyors to safely pull 12-20 ft assembled wooden sections or floppy, unspooling chainlink rolls through the wrapping zone without the bundle sagging or unraveling.
What weatherproofing solutions exist for fencing materials staged outdoors in commercial lumber yards?
For outdoor staging, we deploy the W-Series Hybrid Welding Option combined with UVI Stretch Film. The machine automatically drapes and welds a heavy-duty waterproof PE bag over the panels before applying an outer layer of UV-resistant stretch film. This ensures the wood remains completely dry while preventing the plastic from degrading or bleaching the vinyl under direct sun exposure.
How do these wrappers integrate into highly automated extrusion plants and fencing mills?
The wrapping cells are driven by enterprise PLCs (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff) connecting natively via EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, or OPC UA servers. This architecture supports standardized I/O handshakes for robotic loading (FANUC, ABB), while executing direct string-based WMS data exchanges to automatically adjust wrapping parameters for mixed-length fence profiles.
