– Its aim is also to prevent risks, to reduce the social costs resulting from accidents
and damage to the health of people, property and to the environment.
– In some cases, accidents may be due to the Operator using the machine
carelessly.
– Caution is always necessary. Safety is also the responsibility of all the per-
sons interacting with the machine throughout its operating life.
– Remember that it is too late to think about safety issues when the accident
has already occurred.
– It is important to dedicate enough time to read the “Instruction Manual” in
order to minimise the risks and to avoid any unpleasant accidents.
– The content of this manual was originally edited by the Manufacturer in the moth-
er tongue (ITALIAN), in compliance with the professional writing standards and
the regulations in force.
– Any translation of the manuals shall be carried out directly and without alterations
from the texts of the ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS.

is in charge of delivering the equipment in the specic linguistic area.
– The Manufacturer reserves the right to update the documentation, should this
prove necessary.
– All information supplied by the recipients represents an important contribution to
the improvement of the after-sales service that the manufacturer will offer to his/
her customers.
– All supplied information is organised into an index and a table of contents, so as
to easily track specic topics of interest.
– The SAFETY WARNINGS and the INSTALLATION MANUAL are supplied as
hard-copy publications.
– The USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL, operation diagrams and all other
post-sale documents can be downloaded from the INTERNET.
– Keep the manual and the attached documents in a place known and easily trace-
able, so that you may refer to them whenever necessary.
Glossary of the terms
The glossary includes some terms used when processing information, with

general description of the machine
The semi-automatic wrapper series “ProWrap” is designed to secure products
loaded on pallets using stretch lm.
– To wrap loads, commercially available reels of stretch lm are used.
– The products to be wrapped must be contained in packages (cases, containers
for liquids, etc.) having a regular shape or in any case, such as to allow for stable
palletising.
– The containers of liquids or uids should be hermetically sealed and with suitable
characteristics to avoid spilling any content.
– The products to be wrapped have ALWAYS to be positioned in the middle and
must NOT protrude from the rotating platform in order to avoid the risk of collision.
– The wrapping surface shall be uniform and smooth (without projections or re-
cesses) in order to prevent the risk of lm breaking.
– The products are loaded and unloaded using forklift trucks of suitable capacity.
– Loading should ONLY be carried out from the orthogonal sides of the support
base (see gure).
– The machine has been designed, built and equipped by applying integrated safe-
ty principles.
– The machine is for professional use only and must be installed in industrial-type
settings - factories or workshops.

– Tie the trailing end of the lm to the base of the product to be wrapped.
Stage Ë
– Start the wrapping cycle that will be performed based on the previously set pa-
rameters.
– Manual wrapping: start the platform and keep the special control pressed to
start the wrapping process.
– Release control when wrapping has reached the desired height.
– Automatic wrapping: set up the desired parameters and press the special con-
trol to start the cycle.
– The machine carries out wrapping and at the end of the set-up cycle it stops au-
tomatically.
Stage Ì
– Manually cut the lm and cause it to adhere to the wrapped product.
– Remove the wrapped product to be able to load the next one to wrap.
– The machine is ready for a new wrapping cycle.

Types of wrapping
The wrapping can be made in manual or automatic mode.
– With the manual mode, platform rotates at a reduced speed, while reel holding
carriage is activated by a non-release control.
This mode allows for the wrapping to be made on an occasional basis, according
to the specications of the load to be wrapped (See “Control system.”).
– With the manual mode the wrapping can be programmed according to the spec-
ications of the load batch to be wrapped.
– The gures show the types of wrapping that can be programmed with the auto-
matic mode operation.
– Single wrapping: it starts at the base of the load to be wrapped
(with stabilisation wraps) and ends at the top of the load, after
completing the closing wrapping.
– Move the reel carriage to fully lowered position from the control
panel to start a new wrapping.
The operator can decide whether to cut the lm when the car-
riage is in the high position or in the low position.
– Double wrapping: it starts at the base of the load to be
wrapped (with stabilisation wraps) and ends at the top of the
load.
– After completing the reinforcement at the top of the load, the
wrapping continues downwards and stops after the closing
wrapping.
– Single wrapping with sheet feeder: it starts at the base of the
load to be wrapped (with stabilisation wraps) and stops tempo-
rarily at the top of the load.
– After inserting the covering sheet the operator must enable the
control to restart the wrapping.
– After completing the upper reinforcement, the wrapping stops.
– Move the reel carriage to fully lowered position from the control
panel to start a new wrapping.
The operator can decide whether to cut the lm when the car-
riage is in the high position or in the low position.
– Double wrapping with sheet feeder: it starts at the base of
the load to be wrapped (with stabilisation wraps) and stops
temporarily at the top of the load.
– After inserting the covering sheet the operator must enable the
control to restart the wrapping.
– After completing the reinforcement at the top of the load, the
wrapping continues downwards and stops after the closing
wrapping.
