GI Wire Film Wrapping Machine

GI Wire Film Wrapping is an industrial packaging process that wraps galvanized iron (GI) wire coils or bundles with stretch film or protective plastic film to secure, protect, and stabilize the product during handling, storage, and transportation.
A GI Wire Film Wrapping Machine automates this process by rotating the wire coil while dispensing film under controlled tension, ensuring uniform coverage and consistent protection.

How Does a GI Wire Film Wrapping Machine Work?

1. Loading the Coil
   The operator places the GI wire coil or bundle onto the machine’s turntable or cradle using a forklift or crane.

2. Film Positioning
   The operator inserts the stretch film roll into the film carriage and sets film tension and overlap parameters.

3. Automatic Detection & Start
   Sensors detect the coil size and initiate the wrapping cycle once the start command is given.

4. Rotational Wrapping
   The machine rotates the GI wire coil while the film carriage moves horizontally, ensuring even wrapping across the coil width.

5. Layer Control
   The system applies predefined film layers at adjustable overlap ratios for moisture and dust protection.

6. Film Cutting & Sealing
   After wrapping, the machine cuts and clamps the film automatically.

7. Unloading
   The wrapped GI wire coil exits the station, ready for storage or shipment.

Why Is This Machine Important in Modern Industrial Operations?
