Roll Wrapping Capabilities

We have extensive experience wrapping and packaging raw materials with Film or Kraft paper.
What is Edgegard?

We have extensive experience wrapping and packaging raw materials with Film or Kraft paper. Film wrapping can be accomplished in a variety of ways from new stations to integrating directly into your existing production line. Our engineers consider a variety of factors to develop a custom solution to optimize your manufacturing operations. Our Roll Wrapping systems have a variety of upgrade options including our Edgegard, patented Heat Seal Technology and Labeling capabilities.

Edgegard is a 20-mil thick (thickness based on application) Polyethylene (PE) film material that is applied during the wrapping process and is entirely recyclable with the wrapping film. The patented material was created to take the abuse that the roll ends are subjected to daily as well as maintain package integrity. Stretch film is not new in roll packaging but has received a bad reputation in some applications. The use of low cost or thin films leads to the inevitable problem of the film being torn off the bottom of the roll when palletized.

Add Heat Seal Technology to save on supplies and reduce mess

Our patented Heat Seal Technology can be added to new or existing wrapping equipment. The benefits to your operations include:

With competitive price and timely delivery, Eopac Machinery sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

  • Eliminates the need for glue to seal tail of film to package.
  • Proven technology used in multiple existing wrapper upgrades.
  • Utilizes (4) heated rollers to melt tail of film to end of wrap cycle.
  • Prevents premature unravelling as tail does not release from package (a common issue with glue after extended storage times).
  • Does not affect current wrapper cycle time.
  • Integrates into existing hold-down roller frame for ease of installation.
  • Includes a dedicated electrical panel that is pre-wired at AHI prior to shipping.
  • Existing glue system does not need to be removed and can be kept as a backup.
  • Ability to use either film attach method from within the HMI screen.
  • Critical spare parts stocked by AHI for quick delivery.
  • AHI turn-key installation and start-up available for ease of integration.

Our customers count on Automatic Handlings expertise to optimize their labeling quality with either labeling via a simple mechanical device, a robotic end of arm tooling, or inline radial wrapping labels.

Roll Handling & Wrapping System

MWES developed a process that would take a roll and stretch wrap it while on its side, and then the roll would travel down a gravity ramp to an up-ender where the roll would be up-ended 90° onto a pallet. At this point, the roll would be weighed for consistency. The pallet carrying the roll would travel down a conveyor to a stretch wrap palletizing station. From there the palletized pallet would travel further down the conveyor to a turntable where a labeler would apply a label and the pallet would be rotated 90°. At this point, the pallet and the roll would be discharged onto another conveyor where they can be retrieved with a forklift.

This system starts when the roll is placed on an S- Trundle Wrapper, from where the first application of stretch wrap is applied to the roll. The roll then moves from the trundle wrapper down a gravity ramp toward the up-ender. Once the roll reaches the up-ender, a pallet is dispensed from the pallet dispenser onto a pop-up roller transfer. The pallet is lifted, centered and clamped, and the up-ender tilts to a 90° angle to accept the roll. The roll arrives in the trough of the up-ender where it is aligned with the pallet and then tilted upright onto the pallet.

Once the upright position is verified, the pallet clamps are released and the pallet is free to travel down the conveyor at this point the pallet and roll are also weighed. The pallet then arrives at an S- Stretch Wrapper station where the roll is securely stretch-wrapped and palletized with the pallet. After the pallet has been wrapped, it is then conveyed to a turntable where a labeler applies applicable labels on each side. Lastly, the turntable rotates 90° and the pallet with the roll is discharged to a queuing conveyor where it can be retrieved with a forklift.
