Shrink Wrap Cover for Machines and Round Components

No loose folds where water can collect

The problem it prevents

A loose cover on a round object is worse than no cover at all.

It traps water in the folds and holds it against the metal. Anyone who has tried tarpaulins on coils knows exactly what this looks like when the cover comes off.

What it is

A heat-shrinkable cover that is pulled down tight onto the equipment, so the film follows the shape closely instead of hanging loose. This suits large round or awkward components such as coils, reels, wheels, drums, tanks and rolled material, where a flat cover would leave folds that collect water.

The tight fit stops the film flapping in wind, keeps water from pooling in folds, and holds the load together as one unit for handling.

Key features

  • Shrinks tight to the shape of the equipment
  • No loose folds where water can collect
  • Suitable for round, cylindrical and awkward shapes
  • Holds the load together as a single unit for handling
  • UV resistant grades for outdoor storage
  • Can be combined with VCI for metal surfaces

Specification

Materials
Heat-shrinkable polyethylene film in the required thickness. UV resistant and VCI grades available.
Sizes
Made to the component profile.
Applications
Coils, reels, wheels, tanks, rolled material, large round components, and machines with irregular profiles.
Where it is used
Steel and wire coil producers, cable and reel makers, tank and vessel fabricators, and anyone storing round components outdoors.

How we build it

We work on getting the right shrink ratio and thickness for the shape, so the film pulls tight without splitting at the tight radius. Getting this wrong is the usual reason shrink covers fail in the field.

Built to your specification

Every one of these can be changed for your application, and a sample is supplied for trial fitment before bulk production.
