THE RING WRAPPER DESIGN

THE WRAPPING RING CONCEPT

THE TRAVELING FILM CLAMP /CUT /SEAL


Intro to Ring TechnologyIntro to Ring TechnologyDesigned for 3 shift 7 day high thru-put applications

Outperforms conventional wrappers in all aspects of performance- speed - maintenance - film economy safety - flexibility

This technology all but replaced arm and table automatics in Europe years ago.

Patents prevented that in the US….until now!



Unlike Arm or Turntable machines:

Performance aspects are not negatively linked - increasing speed is not done at the cost of

increased film (30”) and maintenance costs .



Revolutionary design based on the film carriage rotating around a stationary load using a rotating ring .

The wrapping ring is essentially a 96” dia. “bearing” created with one 96” dia. steel “race” orbiting around a second steel “race” using specially formulated guide wheels .



The result of this much faster “Low Mass Film Rotation System “ is the ability to maintain consistent , long term and safer high speed production rates without stress or strain simply because the PRRA does not have to work as hard as conventional wrappers .


Intro to Ring TechnologyIntro to Ring Technology TRAVELING FILM CLAMP /CUT /SEALTRAVELING FILM CLAMP /CUT /SEAL

The PRRA has the distinct advantage of the film clamp traveling vertically with the film carriage , which allows the PRRA to start and finish at any point on the load .

Unlike Arm and table system that require you to apply wasted film while getting to the top of the load because the clamp is fixed to the conveyor, the PRRA clamp moves with the film so no wasted film is applied.



As you do not have to return to the fixed clamp position at conveyor height as in conventional wrappers valuable time and film is saved.

By reducing the number of revolutions required to wrap a given load , the PRRA also increases the number of loads wrapped between scheduled maintenance.



In summary the traveling film clamp reduces:Wrapping timeStretch film costsMaintenance time

PRRA Features & BenefitsPRRA Features & Benefits SPEEDSPEED

Up to 40 RPM and 120+ pallets an hour without breaking a sweat Conventional Arm or turntable technology simply can’t keep up.


PRRA Features & BenefitsPRRA Features & Benefits SPEEDSPEED

Ring technology does not apply 2 wasted revolutions of film at the beginning of a cycle thus it provides higher throughput than competitive rotary arm or turntable machines .

No other wrapper provides the No other wrapper provides the wrapping flexibility as the PRRA.wrapping flexibility as the PRRA.



TOP BANDING : Ability to apply film to only the top layers of the load (click to view)



SPLIT WRAP : Allows two stacked loads to enter the PRRA to get wrapped and sealed individually thus increasing throughput. You could full wrap one and top band the other if desired.



Integral Top Sheet DispenserT.S.D LOCATED ON THE WRAPPING RING

ALLOWS FOR TOP SHEET TO BE APPLIED IN THE WRAP ZONE WHICH:

ENSURES THE SHEET DOES NOT FALL OFF OR GET MISALIGNED AS WITH INLINE T.S.D

DOES NOT TAKE UP THE VALUABLE FLOOR SPACE OF INLINE UNITS

WITH LESS MOVING PARTS MAINTENANCE IS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED

PRRA Features & Benefits PRRA Features & Benefits FILM FILM SAVINGSSAVINGS

Rotary Ring Technology provides GUARANTEED savings over conventional Rotary arm or turntable wrappers.example :

Customer has a 48”w x 48”l x 52”h load Customer wraps 65 -70 lph , 3 shifts , 6 days / week .or 524,160 loads / year


PRRA Features & BenefitsPRRA Features & Benefits

FILM SAVINGSFILM SAVINGS

Because we are not applying the 2 wasted revolutions to get to the top of the load, we are saving 32 ft of prestretched film (2 revs of 16ft).

This equals approx 10 ft of raw film per load


PRRA Features & BenefitsPRRA Features & Benefits

FILM SAVINGSFILM SAVINGS 10 ft /load x 524,160 = 1048 rolls of film at $40/roll =

$41,920 in film savings each and EVERY YEAR This is due purely to the ring technology compared to old

conventional arm or turntable technology.

NEED PROOF? Go to the customer’s existing wrapper and have it cycle

until the carriage has wrapped completely to the top. E-stop the cycle and cut the film off that has been applied. That is the amount of film Rotary Ring technology saves

each and every load! No smoke and mirrors.. Just savings!

MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE

Rotary Ring technology was specifically designed for 3 shift / 7 day applications

With conventional wrappers , most work (and maintenance) performed is to rotate and support the thousands of pounds of the rotary table or arm used to apply the few ounces of film .



MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE(cont)(cont)

The PRRA works effortlessly as it rotates only what is required to rotate ....THE FILM !

A.C. frequency drives and motors are used instead of D.C. motors and boards which are high maintenance items .



MAINTENANCEMAINTENANCE(cont)(cont)

The wrapping ring can be lowered to a comfortable working height , any maintenance on the rotation drive and electrics becomes not only safe but fast.

Working on a ladder 15 ft. in the air or underneath a turntable are a thing of the past.


Rotary Ring SummaryRotary Ring Summary The PRRA ring technology saves 2 revolutions

of film on every load wrapped compared to conventional arm or table technology

PRRA ring technology works faster and with less effort than arm or tables resulting in less maintenance and more throughput.

Wrapping faster with less issues at a fraction of the cost of other technologies….

With Ring machine prices comparable to rotary arm systems it really isn’t a fair fight.
