Introducing the Flex HPA & LPA, Orion’s latest stand-alone automatic stretch wrappers, designed to maximize your pallet wrapping operation. Both of these top-of-the-line Flex models allow operators the ability to initiate the wrapping cycle with a simple pull from a hanging lanyard, eliminating the need to manually attach the film to the load at the beginning of the cycle and detach it after wrapping.
The ergonomically designed insta-thread film carriage is easy to load and only takes a few seconds, simply open the hinged panel, drop in the film tail and close. Then place the film tail in the clamp, close the clamp, and you’re ready to wrap loads. Programming of the Flex HPA & LPA is simple. No maze of confusing buttons and switches, just a clean, easy to read LCD display.
Conveyorized Twin Station Stretch Wrapper
Operator can place unwrapped load on turntable without need to pick up load that was just wrapped. Saves time and increases efficiency. A Conveyorized Twin Station stretch wrapping machine designed to increase fork lift efficiency and reduce load handling times by providing a powered conveyor turntable and a gravity conveyor section used as a staging platform for wrapped loads waiting to be picked up.
AUTOMATIC STRETCH WRAP SYSTEMS
A full line of Orion wrapping systems is available for even the most challenging wrapping application. Below are just a few examples.
Automatic stretch wrapping systems require no operator. Pallet loads are brought to the machine via conveyor and are automatically stretch wrapped according to pre-programmed parameters. The only operator intervention required is changing of stretch film when the roll is empty.
All Orion automatic systems are built with the highest degree of structural integrity, flexibility, reliability and performance. For more standard load types and a smaller machine footprint, Orion’s FA machine fits the bill perfectly. For more difficult load types, such as fragile or easily toppled loads, Orion’s MA rotary tower automatics are ideal
These fully automatic pallet wrapping systems and the automated wrapping machine are manufactured solely with structural steel (no framed metal or plastic parts) for the longest possible machine life in the harshest possible environments.
In addition, Orion utilizes non-proprietary, locally obtainable components combined with an open mechanical design for maximum up time and easy of maintenance on your automatic stretch wrapping equipment.

SPECIALTY WRAPPING SYSTEMS
Over the years, we have been asked to apply state-of-the-art stretch packaging technology to unique (custom) applications in which standard stretch wrapping systems were not sufficient. As a result, Hub’s partnership with Orion has become known in the industry for being willing and able to provide custom stretch wrapping machines for specialty applications.
Some of these custom stretch wrapper systems have, in turn, become standard specialty models through customers that have applied them to their unique applications, thus making custom stretch wrap packaging available to industries that, otherwise, would have continued to rely on other unitizing means such as strapping, corrugated, shrink bundling, etc. With well over 100 years of collective experience in their electrical and mechanical engineering departments alone, Orion has the capabilities to design a custom stretch wrap packaging system for most any application we bring them.
Orbital Stretch Wrapping
Orbital type stretch wrapping machines are ideal for long loads that can not be stretch wrapped on a conventional turntable or rotary tower type machine. Examples of products that are well suited for orbital wrapping pipe, plastic extrusions, carpet rolls, lumber, aluminum siding, and many other long products. Ring sizes from 15 inch to 90 inch are available to accommodate virtually all orbital wrapping applications.
Six Sided Stretch Wrapping with Orbital Automatic
In certain industries such as printing, six-sided stretch wrap protection is desired.
Robotic Corner-board Applicator
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.

Standard Features on All Wexxar Machines:
- Pin & Dome: As flat case blank is injected into the two facing plates, the pins goes into the flutes and the dome pinches the corrugated tightly. The two plates then open to 90 degrees to perfectly square the case. Since no compressed air is used in this process, it greatly decreases contamination and is more durable than vacuum cups which can clog and wear.
- Safety & Ergonomic Features: Floor level tending reduces strain; every machine Wexxar builds is fully guarded from in-feed to out-feed, interlocked safety guarding throughout the machine; easily accessed control and assemblies; palm e-switches located on both sides.
- Dynamic Flap Folding: Wexxar case formers have a dynamic flap folding system. As long plow rails aren’t used, the overall length of the machine is significantly more compact.
- Compliant Drive Belt: Each of the two facing unidrive drive belts is mounted on a spring mechanism. This allows a constant pressure to be exerted on the case, despite normal variations in case width. Even heavy cases are handled carefully and with great control.
- Non-Contacting Sensors: Proximity sensors are able to have a much greater operating lifetime and don’t cause jams than contacting sensors.
- In-Line Operation: By keeping the intake and outflow of the machine in line with the rest of the line, aisles are kept free, safety is improved and space is saved.
