Orbital Wrapping Automation for Plastic Tubing Coils
Eliminate manual banding and cumbersome loading. Our custom-engineered orbital systems for PEX/radiant tubing act as fully automated packaging cells. Securing large-diameter PEX, HDPE, PVC, and corrugated hose coils directly off your extrusion line, the film carriage rotates around the coil as it passes horizontally through the "eye" of the ring, providing absolute precision and zero-lift ergonomics for heavy, toroidal products. Featuring native ERP and WMS connectivity (via OPC UA, MQTT, and EtherNet/IP) for real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics and seamless production order integration.

The Bottleneck: The Physics of the Coil
Securing large-diameter, flexible plastic tubing coils is a dangerous and awkward process. These springy, round products suffer from the severe "spring-coil hazard" - if a traditional strap breaks, the coil violently unwinds, creating a massive safety liability on the factory floor via unpredictable coil spring-back. Furthermore, because torus-shaped items lack a solid flat base, they don't sit flat on a turntable, causing traditional conveyor-fed packaging machines to fail.
The Engineering Solution: We bypass standard conveyors entirely. By engineering custom mechanical infeed arms and driven rollers directly into the flexible enterprise PLC architectures (Beijer, Siemens, Allen-Bradley, and Beckhoff) of our heavy-duty orbital rings, we created a frictionless, automated "drive-through" wrapping ecosystem designed for direct extrusion line integration. The powered rollers help move the coil through the ring smoothly, improving wrap tension and overlap control for continuous end-of-line throughput. Meanwhile, the system connects via EtherNet/IP or native OPC UA servers to execute direct string-based data exchanges with your WMS, processing production orders dynamically while MQTT telemetry streams real-time predictive maintenance diagnostics directly to your cloud.
Dynawrap Pro 1100
Automated Linear-Slide Integration
Equipped with a retreating chassis and custom loading arm for mid-sized PEX and radiant heat coils (matching your specific Inner Diameter [ID] and Outer Diameter [OD]). Provides zero-lift ergonomic loading to eliminate operator strain and safely transfer coils into the automated cell, with a double reel option for faster coverage.

3-Prong Jaw Automation
Built for oversized, heavy-gauge resin rolls. The massive 1370mm ring utilizes intelligent variable-overlap control PLC software and adjustable film tension. This anti-deformation engineering precisely unitizes soft PEX and corrugated coils, securing the springy tubing without crushing or slipping.
View Pro 1400 SpecsFaced with massive bottlenecks in their extrusion line, a leading North American manufacturer of plumbing and radiant heat tubing deployed a fleet of 4 custom Dynawrap systems (2x Pro 1100s and 2x Pro 1400s). Utilizing specialized linear-slide chassis and 3-pronged infeed jaws, their operators now load massive coils directly onto the mechanical arm. The wrapper pulls the coil in, computes the diameter, and applies high-tension stretch wrap in seconds.

Technical FAQ: Plastic Tubing Coil Wrapping
How does the radial wrapper mitigate the 'spring-coil hazard' when packaging high-tension PEX and HDPE tubing?
The custom-engineered orbital systems replace dangerous manual strapping entirely. As the coil is loaded onto the integrated driven rollers, the wrapping ring applies adjustable film tension directly through the 'eye' of the coil. This locks the springy tubing in a secure, uniform web without the severe localized tension that causes traditional straps to snap and coils to violently unwind.
What ergonomic loading solutions exist for heavy, toroidal products that cannot be safely lifted by hand?
For heavy industrial coils, we engineer specialized infeed architectures like the linear-slide chassis or the 3-pronged automated jaw. These mechanical arms integrate directly into the production line, providing zero-lift ergonomic loading that pulls the massive coil horizontally through the center of the orbital ring, eliminating operator strain entirely.
How does the equipment interface with our existing plastic extrusion line to maintain continuous throughput?
The wrapping cells are driven by enterprise PLCs (Siemens, Allen-Bradley, Beckhoff) connecting natively via EtherNet/IP or OPC UA. This architecture executes direct string-based WMS data exchanges to automatically adjust wrapping parameters for varied tubing diameters, while supporting standardized I/O handshakes for robotic coilers and automated extrusion feeds.
Can the orbital wrapper provide a completely moisture-proof seal for tubing coils stored outdoors or exposed to humidity?
Yes. By utilizing a double reel option equipped with high-performance cast stretch film, the machine applies a precise, variable-overlap through the center bore. This engineered tension control creates a highly consolidated, moisture-proof barrier that safeguards the plastic tubing from environmental degradation during yard staging.
Are orbital wrappers for plastic tubing coils sometimes referred to as tunnel wrappers?
Yes. In the plastics extrusion industry, orbital stretch wrappers are frequently called tunnel wrappers because the continuous tubing coil passes horizontally through the "eye" or "tunnel" of the rotating ring. This horizontal tunnel architecture allows for the automated wrapping of toroidal products without requiring a rotating pallet base.
