Orion Flex CTS - Conveyorized Twin Station Stretch Wrapper

Orion Flex CTS - Conveyorized Twin Station Wrapper

The Orion Flex CTS stretch wrapping machine was designed to fill the gap between the HPA - 66 platform automatic and the fully automatic stretch wrappers, as well as the fully conveyorized FA-66 turntable stretch wrapper.  By providing a powered infeed conveyor and a powered conveyorized turntable, the Flex CTS is able to transport an unwrapped load from the infeed conveyor after a wrapped load is removed from its turntable.  This can dramatically reduce the amount of time spent handling loads.

The Flex CTS stretch wrapping machine is built with many of the same components of the larger and more sophisticated automatic systems and offers throughput speeds approaching fully automatic systems at a fraction of the cost.

Film Tail Cut & Wipe Down System

This is the same pneumatically activated film clamp, cut and press system as used on some Orion's fully automatic stretch wrapping systems.  It's fully adjustable, extremely rugged and designed to give years of reliable service.

The conveyors on the infeed section and the turntable are also the same quality as used on other Orion automatic machinery.  The Orion Flex CTS may have a low price, but the quality is  there.

Operation of the Flex CTS

• The load is brought to Flex CTS stretch wrapper and placed on the infeed conveyor, while backing away, operator pulls lanyard to start cycle.
• The operator goes to get next load to be wrapped.
• When he returns, he places unwrapped load on infeed conveyor, while backing away, operator pulls lanyard to tell Flex CTS that there is a load waiting.
• Next he picks up the wrapped load, and puts it away.

Controller

The Flex CTS controller uses an advanced Allen Bradley PLC for maximum flexibility and reliability.  The control panel uses rugged non-proprietory buttons and switches, and includes a large mushroom style E-stop button for safety.  The control box itself is CSA and UL listed and NEMA 12 rated.

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 system 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 coloured and reflective loads, and Orion's unique Insta-Sense system pauses the wrap cycle if the stretch film breaks or runs out.
