Orion-Lo-Pro-Chain-Conveyor-MA-ST-Stretch-Wrapper-2_2020-08-26-113830.jfif

Lo-Pro Drag Chain Conveyor

The low profile, heavy-duty, three-strand chain conveyor with a pass height of only four inches, allowing for convenient loading of multiple loads by either hand-powered pallet jacks electric “walkies”, or forklift.

The new Lo-Pro Drag Chain conveyor is ideal for beverage distribution and other facilities where multiple pallet loads are carried by one vehicle, increasing efficiency and productivity. The operator simply brings the load to the infeed zone of the conveyor then lowers it onto the chain drive. The machine’s logic control then takes over staging the loads and conveying them one at a time into the wrapping zone of the stretch wrapper.

The Lo-Pro Drag Chain is the ideal companion for the MA-DX Rotary Tower Automatic Stretch Wrapper. The two work together as the ultimate pallet wrapping system for high volume applications. The 60 feet-per-minute Lo-Pro conveyor keeps pace with the MA-DX’s 28 RPM counter-balanced rotary arm wrapper.

Cornerboard Applicator RCBA Robotic Corner Board Applicator

The new Orion Robotic Corner Board Applicator, or RCBA, is the fastest and most efficient way to apply corner boards to pallet loads. Using robotics to pick and place the boards vastly increases the precision and simplicity of the process as compared to systems that place boards by mechanical means. Corner boards are attached to loads on the infeed section while transporting in to the wrapping area. Attachment methods can be tailored to customer specifications. Current methods include hot melt glue or nitrogen charged adhesive to produce a foam type adhesive for protecting the corrugate from damage when the boards are removed.

Manual Corner Board Applicator MCBA

This option is available on the Orion FA turntable automatic system and is designed for customers who require operators to apply cornerboards to pallet loads in a safe and efficient manner.

The manual corner board applicator is designed to ensure precision and efficiency in the packaging process. This system allows for operators to manually apply cornerboards to pallet loads in a safe and effective manner. Benefits of using this machine include added safety in the production room, a slow mode for operator safety, and more.

When pallets are placed onto a turntable, the operator stands in the operator booth. Slowly, the pallet load will begin to spin so that each cornerboard can be manually placed. Once this is complete, the turntable stretch wrapper speeds up. When complete, the pallet is sent forward on the conveyor.

Rotary Tower with 3-Station Stand RT 3 Station

Orion's RT semi-automatic rotary tower wrapper, can be mounted to an optional 2-way or 3-way stand to give customers one extra or two extra wrapping areas. The option is available in both manual and motorized version.

This machine is designed to allow industries to maximize their time. By adding up to a 3-way stand, efficiency is achieved. The RT 3 Station is ideal for spaces with medium to high volume. Features on this system include high speeds, versatility, added options to maximize use, and more.

Six Sided Stretch Wrapping Machine AXIS

In certain industries, especially printing, total six-sided protection of pallet loads is desired for total product protection and to "lock" the load effectively to the pallet. Steel or poly strapping is commonly used, however many customers would like to eliminate the high cost, high maintenance and recycling issues of strapping.

That's why Orion has developed a system based on a large ring Constellation orbital wrapper combined with an FA (or MA) automatic stretch wrapping system. Customers have realized greatly increased up time while dramatically lowering total pallet packaging costs with this system.

Custom Window & Door Stretch Wrapping System

Orion door and window stretch wrapping equipment helps your products arrive to market in pristine condition. Depending on your specific size/weight/throughput requirements, Orion can customize a wrapping system to meet your goals, reduce your packaging costs, and assure that your customers receive your products in the same condition that they shipped.

Orion door and window wrapping systems have a wide variety of configurations including turntable models, conveyorized models and Orbital (horizontal) models.

Roll Wrapper RW-44

Orion's RW-44 is a heavy-duty semi-automatic wrapping system designed to stretch wrap roll product by turning the roll on steel blocking rollers while spinning the product on a 14 RPM turntable. This creates a "cocoon" wrap pattern and provides complete protection and unitization of the roll. Maximum load size is 60" Diameter x 65" Length. Maximum load weight is 6,000 pounds.

To ensure that all product sizes and shapes are accommodated in the packaging process, Orion offers the RW-44 in its stretch wrapper product line. This machine is specifically designed for product that needs to be roll wrapped.

In addition to the many features on the RW-44, Orion has created this machine to ensure safety during the packaging process. Safety features include a pneumatically operated shaft to keep the turntable in place, turntable support, structural steel framing, and more.

High-Pro Chain Conveyor

Heavy-duty high profile conveyor with smooth roller-free conveyance. Triple strand drag chain eliminates the vibration typical with roller conveyance, so fragile or unstable loads can be moved safely at a typical rate of 40 feet per minute.

Tread plate decking helps keep debris from falling below the conveyor. Available options for use with the High-Pro include Lifeline Cable E-stops, motor guards and integrated scales.

S-Carriage InstaThread Prestretch Film Carriage

The S-Carriage InstaThread Pre-Stretch Film Carriage is engineered with features that reduce material costs, save time, and minimize the potential for accidents.

The standard 260% material saving pre-stretch, not only significantly reduces film costs it’s also an important feature from a sustainability standpoint, as more and more companies look for ways to reduce their environmental impact.

The "drop in" Insta-thread film change makes changeover quicker and safer. Simply grab the film, pull it through, and close the door. Weaving the film between the rollers is not required, so hands remain clear of the internal components.

IntelleVue HMI

With the introduction of the IntelleVue HMI, Orion completely rewrote the user control interface to be completely menu driven - operating more like a smart phone than a stretch wrapping machine.

Pre-programmed menus, and three levels of security access ensure consistent peformance. And the look and structure of the IntelleVue's intuitive interface is consistent across the entire Orion product line - for operator familiarity across platforms.

Built in network capability it’s possible to monitor machine performance and troubleshooting over a network. A USB port allows for fast and easy software updating.

Orion RevoLogic™ Technology

Unlike competitive equipment, Orion’s RevoLogic uses exact tooth-counting technology and load-height sensing photo-eyes to create a unique system that precisely applies the exact number of top and bottom film wraps.

When the photo eye detects the top of the load, the microprocessor begins counting teeth so that regardless of where the turntable is, you’ll get the exact top and bottom wrap counts and ensures home position alignment - stopping the turntable in same position after each cycle. This saves time and film and maximizes load containment.

Orbital Stretch Wrapping Systems

Orion engineers its orbital stretch wrapping systems with high-quality components, state-of-the-art electronics, and plenty of heavy gauge structural steel for machines that operate at maximum efficiency year in and year out. The Constellation orbital stretch wrapper is available in a wide variety of configurations including ring sizes from 15" to 90" inches to accommodate a variety of load sizes.
