SPIROR HP - DR 3.2. DESCRIPTION OF THE OPERATION CYCLE Wrapping cycles performable Product wrapping can be: "Total" wrapping The product is completely spiral wrapped with a series of extra revolutions on head and tail. "Head - tail" wrapping the product is only wrapped on head and tail.
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.
Page 21
SPIROR HP - DR Phase 2 ‒ When the “head and tail revolution” count is completed, the conveyor restarts and product length wrapping begins. The product moves forward and engages photocell (B2), the outfeed pressure platen lowers on the product while the machine continues to wrap product.
Page 22
SPIROR HP - DR Phase 4 ‒ After the counting of the “head and tail round” the rotating ring stops while the gripper blocks the film and the arm with the blade makes the cut. ‒ The outfeed conveyor restarts.
SPIROR HP - DR 3.2.2."HEAD - TAIL" 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.
Page 24
SPIROR HP - DR Phase 2 ‒ Infeed/outfeed conveyors starts. ‒ The product moves forward and engages photocell (B2). ‒ The outfeed pressure platen lowers on the product. Phase 3 ‒ The product moves forward disengaging photocell (B1), the infeed pressure platen lifts and the ring starts rotation.
Page 25
SPIROR HP - DR Phase 4 ‒ After the counting of the “head and tail round” the rotating ring stops while the gripper blocks the film and the arm with the blade makes the cut. ‒ The outfeed conveyor restarts.
SPIROR HP - DR 3.2.3."COMPLETE" WRAPPING AND "CENTRAL BANDS" 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.
Page 27
SPIROR HP - DR Phase 2 ‒ Once the "reinforcing revolutions" count has been completed, the conveyor restarts and the product is wrapped longitudinally. ‒ The product moves forward and engages photocell (B2), the outfeed pressure platen lowers on the product while the machine continues to wrap product.
Page 28
SPIROR HP - DR Phase 4 ‒ The product moves forward disengaging photocell (B1), the infeed pressure platen lifts, the “tail positioning” timer starts. ‒ After timer count has been completed, the outlet conveyor stops and the "reinforcing revolutions" count is started.
SPIROR HP - DR 3.2.4."HEAD-TAIL" AND "CENTRAL BELTS" 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.
Page 30
SPIROR HP - DR Phase 2 ‒ Infeed/outfeed conveyors starts. ‒ The product moves forward and engages photocell (B2). ‒ The outfeed pressure platen lowers on the product. Phase 3 ‒ The "central bands" timer starts counting; at count completed, the conveyor stops, the rotating ring starts and counts the "reinforcing revolutions"...
Page 31
SPIROR HP - DR Phase 4 ‒ The product moves forward disengaging photocell (B1), the infeed pressure platen lifts and the ring starts rotation. ‒ After one revolution, conveyors turn on and the “tail positioning” timer begins counting. ‒ After the timer count has finished, the outfeed carrier stops, the “head and tail...
