Orbital type stretch wrapping machines are ideal for long loads that can not be stretch wrapped on a conventional turntable or rotary tower type machine.
Examples of products that are well suited for orbital wrapping pipe, plastic extrusions, carpet rolls, lumber, aluminum siding, and many other long products.
Ring sizes from 15 inch to 90 inch are available to accommodate virtually all orbital wrapping applications.
Aluminium Profile Stretch Wrapper
The Aluminium Profile Stretch Wrapper is an industrial machine that automatically wraps aluminium profiles with stretch film or protective material. It secures, bundles, and protects profiles for storage, transport, and shipment. The machine reduces manual labor, ensures consistent packaging, and prevents damage such as scratches, dents, or corrosion.
How It Works: Step-by-Step
Loading Profiles: Operators place aluminium profiles on the machine’s conveyor or loading platform. Profiles can be single or pre-bundled sets.
Alignment: The machine automatically aligns profiles for uniform wrapping. Sensors detect misaligned items and adjust them automatically.
Stretch Wrapping: The machine wraps the profiles with stretch film, applying controlled tension to prevent damage.
Sealing & Tightening: The film is secured, tightly bundling the profiles.
Optional Labeling: Some machines print labels or barcodes for tracking and inventory management.
Discharge & Stacking: Wrapped profiles move to the output area, ready for storage, shipment, or further processing.
Importance in Modern Industrial Operations
Increases productivity: Wraps multiple profiles faster than manual methods.
Ensures uniform protection: Reduces damage during handling and transport.
Reduces labor costs: Minimizes repetitive, manual work.
Supports logistics: Pre-packed profiles are easier to store and transport.
Enhances safety: Reduces operator risks when handling heavy or sharp-edged profiles.
Types and Variants
Manual Stretch Wrapper
Operator controls wrapping and feeds profiles manually.
Use: Small workshops or low-volume operations.
Benefit: Low initial cost.
Semi-Automatic Stretch Wrapper
Operator loads profiles; the machine handles wrapping, tensioning, and sealing.
Use: Medium-volume production lines.
Benefit: Balances efficiency and investment.
Fully Automatic Stretch Wrapper
Machine handles loading, alignment, wrapping, sealing, and stacking.
Benefit: Maximizes speed, consistency, and labor savings.
Optional Heat Shrink Wrapper
Applies heat for a tight, protective seal.
Use: High-protection requirements for delicate or premium aluminium profiles.
Benefit: Provides moisture resistance and superior surface protection.
Choosing the Right Model
Buyers should consider:
Capacity: Fully automatic machines suit high-volume operations.
Profile type & size: Long or heavy profiles may require strapping; delicate profiles benefit from stretch or shrink wrapping.
Automation level: Semi-automatic for medium-volume; fully automatic for large-scale operations.
Budget: Manual or semi-automatic machines are cost-effective; fully automatic machines offer labor and time savings.
Integration: Ensure compatibility with production line or warehouse automation.
Comparison to Manual or Alternative Methods
Wraps profiles faster and more consistently than manual labor.
Reduces human error in alignment, tension, and protection.
Improves professional appearance of packaged profiles.
Minimizes operator fatigue and risk of injury.
Common Operational Problems Solved
Surface damage: Prevents scratches, dents, and corrosion.
Inconsistent packaging: Automatic alignment and tensioning ensure uniform bundles.
Labor-intensive tasks: Reduces manual handling of heavy profiles.
Transit damage: Secured wrapping protects profiles during storage and shipping.

The Aluminium Profile Stretch Wrapper streamlines industrial packing, protects aluminium profiles, reduces labor, and ensures consistent product quality. By selecting the right model and following installation, operation, and maintenance best practices, businesses can maximize productivity, reduce losses, and enhance safety.
Frequently Asked Questions (F&Q)
Q1. What products can an aluminium profile stretch wrapping machine wrap?
An aluminium profile stretch wrapping machine is used to wrap aluminium extrusions, profiles, channels, frames, window sections, and long metal components for surface protection.
Q2. How does an aluminium profile stretch wrapping machine work?
The machine applies stretch film around stationary or moving aluminium profiles using controlled tension, ensuring uniform wrapping that prevents scratches, dust, and moisture damage.
Q3. Which stretch film is compatible with this machine?
The machine typically uses LLDPE stretch film, which provides excellent elasticity, holding force, and surface protection for aluminium products.
Q4. Can the machine handle different profile lengths and shapes?
Yes. Adjustable conveyors, guides, and wrapping parameters allow the machine to handle various aluminium profile lengths, widths, and cross-sectional shapes.
Q5. Is this machine suitable for continuous industrial operation?
Yes. Aluminium profile stretch wrapping machines are built with heavy-duty components and are suitable for continuous industrial use with routine maintenance.
