FA-66
Turntable Automatic Stretch Wrapper

The FA-66 may be Orion's lowest priced turntable automatic, but that doesn't mean it's short of features or value. For lower production applications where a turntable speed of 12 RPM is adequate, there is no better value on the market today than the FA-66.

Controller

Orion uses rugged, locally available switches, buttons and pots on control panels. Controls are logical and easy to understand. A large mushroom style E-stop button shuts the machine down immediately. This free-standing controller is CSA approved and NEMA 12 rated. The FA-33 uses the Allen Bradley / Series PLC controller for maximum flexibility and reliability. Low maintenance, long lasting AC motors are used throughout the FA-33 thanks to advanced Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) controllers. One look inside the FA-33 controller shows the pride of craftsmanship that goes in to each and every Orion stretch wrapping system.

Insta-Thread™ film delivery system

The Orion Insta-Thread film delivery system faces the side for easier film roll loading and threading. The system uses specially designed rollers to accurately elongate film at a standard rate of 260%.

This highly reliable prestretch systems features the fastest, easiest and safest film loading on the market, and an advanced "non-contact" film tension sensor for years of trouble-free wrapping.

A sophisticated photo eye senses even difficult colored and reflective loads, and Orion's unique Insta-Sense system pauses the wrap cycle if the stretch film breaks or runs out.

Heavy duty conveyors

Unlike some manufacturers, Orion builds all of their own conveyors in house for the ultimate in quality control and durability. An "open" mechanical design assures that motors, gearboxes, etc. are easily accessed for service or replacement. Each conveyor roller is supported by a full length solid steel axle and welded on (not pressed on) caps. These axles are then supported with individual cast housing bearings for the ultimate in strength and durability.

Film tail cut & wipe down

Simple, yet highly effective aptly describes the unique film tail treatment on the FA-66. At the end of the wrapping cycle, Orion's innovative asymmetrical film clamp grips the film while the impulsed hot wire cuts the film. The load seeking pneumatically actuated brush smoothes and secures the film tail to the side of the load as it is conveyed to the exit conveyor. The result is an attractive, secure film tail that stays in place using a minimal amount of film.
