3.2. DESCRIPTION OF THE
OPERATION CYCLE
Wrapping cycles performable
Product wrapping can be:
1) "Total" wrapping
The product is completely spiral wrapped
with a series of extra revolutions on head
and tail.
2) "Head - tail" wrapping
the product is only wrapped on head and
tail.
3) "Complete" wrapping and "central bands"
The product is completely wrapped in a spiral, with a series of additional loops at the head, at the tail
and with a series of reinforcement strappings spaced by a programmable time.
4) "Head-tail" and "central belts" wrapping
The product head and tail are wrapped with a series of reinforcing bands spaced by a programmable
time.
5) “Head and additional bands” winding
The head of the product is wrapped and a series of additional reinforcement strappings are made (their
number and the distance between them can be set from the relevant parameters).
6) "By-pass" cycle
the product goes through the machine without being wrapped.
English
19/95

SPIROR HP - DR
3.2.1."TOTAL" WRAPPING
With the product on the feed conveyor,
press the “Start” button on the control
panel to start the work cycle.
Phase 1
‒The conveyor starts and moves the
product towards the rotating ring.
‒The product engages photocell (B1), the
infeed pressure platen lowers and blocks
the product, the “head positioning” timer
starts.
‒After the timer count has finished, the
carrier stops, the rotating ring starts
counting the "head and tail turns"; the
head of the product is wrapped.
