The Racking Bottleneck: Friction Scratching on Rails

Utility-scale solar farms require hundreds of thousands of feet of aluminum mounting rails, torque tubes, and support struts. When these massive extrusions are bundled loosely or secured only with steel banding, they slide internally during transport, scratching the anti-corrosive coatings before they even reach the job site.

The Solution: Perfect longitudinal unitization. The Dynawrap Pro 1100 and Pro 1400 are engineered specifically for long, heavy profiles. By passing the aluminum racking straight through the orbital ring, the machine applies a high-tension, multi-layer stretch film web that locks every single rail together. This entirely eliminates internal friction and protects the structural coatings.

Massive Dynawrap Pro 2200 wide ring capacity for PV modules

The Panel Bottleneck: Glass Breakage & Edge Crushing

Framed PV modules are heavy, exceptionally wide, and incredibly fragile. Traditional strapping methods crush the aluminum frames, while loose wrapping allows the heavy panels to shift on the skid, resulting in catastrophic glass breakage during transit.

The Solution: Extreme volume capacity and delicate stabilization. Utilizing the massive ring diameters of the Dynawrap Pro 2200, solar manufacturers can wrap multi-panel skids seamlessly. Pneumatic top-pressers gently stabilize the panels without bowing the glass, while the stretch film secures the stack flawlessly, preventing all lateral shifting during highway freight.

The Logistics Bottleneck: Desert Weather Exposure

Solar arrays are constructed in harsh environments. Expensive components often sit staged in open desert fields or dusty lots for months, subjected to driving rain, sandstorms, and extreme UV exposure that can degrade wiring and damage glass surfaces.

The Solution: Total weatherproofing with the W-Series Hybrid Welding Option. Integrated across the Pro Series lineup, this automated system drapes and welds a thick, protective bubble wrap layer or a fully sealed PE bag directly over the PV modules or racking bundles before the stretch film is applied. This creates an impenetrable barrier against desert dust and moisture.

Enterprise Automation: Dynawrap LUMI™ 3D Algorithmic Vision

Achieve true recipe-free autonomy across your assembly line. Available as an option across the 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 mixed bundles of racking or varying panel stacks enter the zone, the system executes real-time 3D scanning to determine the exact geometry and 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 and glass breakage.

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, and OPC UA using enterprise-grade Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLCs.

Automated Handshakes

Standardized execution I/O (Ready, Start, Busy, Complete, Fault) allowing upstream robots to safely load and trigger wrapping cycles.

EHS Perimeter Safety

CIP Safety and PROFIsafe network integration, paired with hardwired optical light curtains for zero-touch operational security.

Ultraviolet Inhibitor UVI machine stretch film for outdoor solar component storage

Utility-Scale Consumables Ecosystem

Solar infrastructure demands specific film engineering. Our premium Cast Clear Machine Stretch Film is the industry standard for securing PV modules and racking. For extreme puncture resistance against the sharp sheared edges of aluminum mounting struts, we supply high-performance, up-gauged, and "blown-like" cast formulations to guarantee zero film failures.

Because solar components are universally staged outdoors prior to installation, deploying our UVI (Ultraviolet Inhibitor) Stretch Film is strictly required to prevent the plastic packaging from breaking down under severe sun exposure in open fields.

Eliminate Scratched Racking & Broken Glass

From massive wide-ring capacities for PV modules to high-speed orbital wrapping for aluminum torque tubes, our automated cells are engineered for the sheer scale of the renewable energy sector.
