Orbital stretch wrapper

An orbital stretch wrapper is a means of applying stretchable plastic film to a load, consisting of a roll (or rolls) of stretch wrap supported on a vertical rotating ring and a means of passing a load through the ring's eye horizontally.

Several designs are available.

[1][2] The item or load can go through the ring on a conveyor or can be placed into the ring by a pallet truck.

Small loads can be suspended within the rotating ring by hand.

Stretch is achieved by creating tension between the load and film roll using a brake or gear ratio system.
