Horizontal Coil Stretch Wrapper
What Is a Horizontal Coil Stretch Wrapper?
A horizontal coil stretch wrapper is an industrial packaging machine designed to wrap coils, tires, and cylindrical products horizontally using stretch film. It secures the load with consistent tension, providing load stability, protection from dust and moisture, and safe handling during transport and storage.
Unlike manual wrapping, horizontal coil wrappers automate the process, reducing labor, improving consistency, and minimizing the risk of product damage.
How It Works: Step-by-Step Operational Process
Loading the Coil or Tire
The product is positioned horizontally on the machine’s turntable or conveyor. For heavy coils, forklift or crane loading may be required.Film Attachment
The operator attaches the stretch film to the product or the turntable begins automatic attachment.Tensioning and Pre-Stretch
The motorized system applies controlled tension while pre-stretching the film to minimize material use and ensure tight wrapping without damaging the product.Rotation and Wrapping
The turntable or rotating mechanism spins the coil, allowing the stretch film to wrap evenly around the circumference.Sealing and Cutting (If Applicable)
Some models include automatic sealing or cutting, while others rely on the pre-cut film roll.Completion and Discharge
Once wrapped, the machine stops automatically, and the product is ready for storage or shipping.
Importance in Modern Industrial Operations
Horizontal coil stretch wrappers are critical for modern factories because they:
Reduce labor dependency and operator fatigue
Ensure uniform wrapping, minimizing product damage
Increase throughput for high-volume production
Enhance packaging safety during transport
Enable integration with automated production lines
Compared to manual wrapping, these machines offer higher speed, consistency, and efficiency, while reducing material waste and labor costs.

How to Choose the Right Horizontal Coil Stretch Wrapper
Consider:
Load size and weight – heavier or larger coils require stronger turntables
Production volume – high-volume plants benefit from automatic or inline systems
Film type and availability – ensure compatibility with PP, PET, or PVC films
Level of automation – balance between budget and operational efficiency
Budget and ROI – factor in reduced labor and increased throughput
Common Operational Problems and Solutions
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Uneven wrapping | Adjust turntable speed and film tension |
| Film tearing | Use correct film thickness and pre-stretch settings |
| Coil shifting during rotation | Secure coil with chucks or stabilizing fixtures |
| Operator fatigue | Upgrade to semi-automatic or automatic system |
| Excessive film usage | Calibrate pre-stretch system and tension controls |
