M-55 GS
Semi Automatic Rotary Tower
Gantry Stand

Orion's M Series wrappers are ideal for loads that are fragile, very heavy, light or unstable. Gantry style stand can be loaded from both sides by fork lift, pallet jack or electric walkie. Can be placed over existing conveyor. Both sides of wrapping area protected by fence-mounted photo eye/reflector which stops rotation if beam broken. An ultra-reliable chain and sprocket drives a 20" precision ring bearing which supports the 18 RPM rotating arm. . Gantry stand can be optionally expanded for very large loads.

Tower support & drive

The rotating arm is supported and driven by a rugged, reliable 20" diameter precision ring bearing connected by ANSI roller chain to a non-proprietary motor/gear reducer. This system of drive/support has been field proven to be highly rugged and reliable in a wide variety of industrial environments. Components are easily accessed for service and maintenance. Orion uses locally available, non-proprietary parts whenever possible.

Insta-Thread™ film delivery system

Orion's Insta-Thread is a powered prestretch film delivery system which elongates stretch film between two closely spaced, specially textured powered rollers prior. The standard prestretch rate is 260%, however higher or lower rates (up to 350%) are available for specific applications. Pre-stretching film not only reduces your film cost per load, it substantially increases the strength and holding power of the stretch film. Film loading on the Insta-Thread is fast, safe and easy: simply open the hinged roller frame, pull the film across then close and latch the frame.

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 control box is CSA approved and NEMA 12 rated. The M-55 uses the Allen Bradley / Series MicroLogix controller for maximum flexibility and reliability.
