Automated Orbital Pallet Wrapping Machines
Eliminate traditional turntables. Secure top-heavy, oversized pallets, and long, tall, unstable, or irregular loads directly to the skid. Utilizing a 360° over-and-under pattern, our massive orbital ring wrappers are designed specifically to wrap while the load remains on a forklift or passes via continuous inline conveyors. Featuring smart controls, fully automated auto clamp/cut systems, massive ring clearances up to 85.4 inches (2170mm), and native ERP and WMS connectivity (via OPC UA, MQTT, and EtherNet/IP) for real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics.

The Turntable Bottleneck: Centrifugal Force & Load Separation
Traditional vertical turntable wrappers are fundamentally flawed for unstable or top-heavy pallets. Spinning a 2,000lb load creates massive centrifugal force, forcing operators to run the machine at agonizingly slow speeds to prevent tipping. Furthermore, vertical wrappers only wrap the sides of the product - if a forklift stops hard, the entire wrapped cube can slide right off the wooden pallet.
The Orbital Solution: With a Dynawrap Pro Series, the load remains completely stationary. Because the load travels longitudinally on a conveyor, the orbital ring passes the stretch film underneath the wooden pallet base and over the product. This permanent under-chassis unitization locks the load to the skid in a fraction of the time. Zero spinning. Zero tipped pallets. Zero load separation. Engineered with dual film reel systems and dynamic auto tension controls, the machine guarantees maximum load stability without crushing delicate cartons.
The Forklift Bottleneck: Zero-Drop Loading
Standard forklift wrappers force drivers into an exhausting, manual sequence: lower the pallet, reverse, climb out of the cab, walk to the control panel, press start, climb back into the cab, wait for the cycle, pull forward, and re-lift the load. This repetitive physical strain destroys warehouse throughput and creates unnecessary floor safety hazards.
The Solution: The Dynawrap Pro 1700 enables true Zero-Drop Forklift Automation. This semi-automatic (forklift-assisted) workflow allows the operator to drive the forks directly into the oversized ring. The operator triggers the wrap via remote fob without ever lowering the load or leaving the cab. The machine wraps while the load remains on the forklift, securing the load directly to the pallet in seconds.
Enterprise-Grade Pallet Automation
While push-button manual wrappers exist, they fail completely in high-volume, automated production lines pushing 4,000lb+ industrial pallets.
The Solution: The massive Dynawrap Pro 1900 and Pro 2200 are true enterprise robotic cells. We replace standard belts with heavy-duty motorized chain conveyors or steel slats capable of handling extreme payloads. Controlled by flexible enterprise PLC architectures (Beijer, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Beckhoff), the wrappers communicate directly with upstream robotic palletizers via EtherNet/IP or native OPC UA servers. This enables direct string-based data exchanges with your WMS to process dynamic shipping orders while MQTT telemetry streams real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics directly to your cloud. For rigorous EHS compliance, our systems feature fully enclosed rings, integrated light curtains, and emergency stop mechanisms, ensuring absolute operator safety during high-throughput cycles.
Enterprise Automation: Dynawrap LUMI™ 3D Algorithmic Vision
Achieve true recipe-free autonomy with our highly stable, non-black-box architecture. Available as an option across the Joy and Pro Series, the LUMI™ System utilizes an Intel® depth-sensing 3D camera and a dedicated embedded controller housed in a rugged industrial enclosure.
Volumetric Scanning
As irregular products enter the zone, the system executes real-time 3D scanning to determine the exact geometry and load dimensions.
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 - eliminating operator error.
Industry 4.0 Ready: Robotic Cell Integration
Engineered for absolute end-of-line autonomy. Our Pro Series wrappers serve as plug-and-play nodes for dark-warehouse environments, supporting direct handshakes with FANUC, ABB, KUKA, and Universal 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 robots 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, fail-safe operational security.
Pallet-Grade Stretch Film Security
When wrapping heavy industrial pallets, the film must withstand massive tension without tearing on the sharp corners of the wooden skid. We supply high-performance Blown Machine Stretch Film. When integrated with our automated top-sheet dispensers, this film creates a true 6-sided, weatherproof encapsulation - perfect for pallets shipped on open flatbeds or stored in outdoor staging yards.
• Opaque / Black Security Film (Conceal high-value pallet loads)
• Vented Airflow Film (For produce/condensation prevention)
• UVI Sun-Resistant Film (For outdoor lumber/block storage)
Technical FAQ: Orbital Pallet Wrapping
How does zero-drop orbital wrapping prevent load separation on top-heavy or highly unstable pallets?
Traditional turntables create extreme centrifugal force that easily topples unstable pallets. The Dynawrap Pro series completely eliminates this by keeping the load stationary. Utilizing an over-and-under wrap pattern, the orbital ring passes the stretch film underneath the wooden pallet base and over the product, creating a permanent, unified lock between the chassis and the load.
Can the orbital wrapping cell be operated entirely from a forklift without requiring the driver to dismount?
Yes. The semi-automatic zero-drop configuration allows the operator to drive the pallet directly into the orbital ring's staging zone. Utilizing a remote control fob, the forklift driver can trigger the automated clamp, wrap, and cut cycle while the load remains suspended on the forks, drastically reducing operator fatigue and increasing throughput.
What material handling systems are required for wrapping industrial pallets exceeding 4,000 lbs in continuous-flow environments?
For massive, automated production lines, standard belt conveyors fail under heavy pallet weight. We integrate the Dynawrap Pro 1900 and Pro 2200 directly with heavy-duty motorized steel chain conveyors or steel slat systems. This robust architecture easily absorbs the impact of heavy payloads and seamlessly transports 4,000+ lb pallets directly through the wrap zone.
How does the packaging cell interface with upstream robotic palletizers and facility ERP networks?
The orbital systems operate as fully integrated SCADA nodes driven by enterprise PLCs (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff). They connect via native OPC UA or EtherNet/IP to execute string-based WMS data exchanges. This supports standardized I/O handshakes for FANUC or ABB robotic loaders, while utilizing MQTT telemetry to push real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics directly to the cloud.
