Orbital stretch wrappers have a weak point that rarely comes up during procurement: the drive belt that turns the ring. It wears, it eventually fails, and on many machines replacing it means removing guards and stopping the line for hours. With the new generation of its Spinner series, launched in October 2026, Bursa-based Edda Packaging Machines has redesigned its orbital wrapper around that problem, along with several others that quietly push up the cost of ownership.
Production of the previous Spinner series ended on 20 October 2026. The new family debuts with the Spinner 1000S BN, a machine that applies bubble film and stretch film in a single pass. Below we look at what has changed, why it matters on the factory floor, and which questions are worth asking any orbital wrapper supplier.
Why the drive system matters more than the spec sheet
Most comparisons between orbital wrappers focus on ring speed, product size range and conveyor speed. Those numbers matter, but over a machine’s working life the larger costs come from wear parts and downtime. According to Edda, the ring belt on a belt-driven orbital wrapper typically needs replacing about every three years, and access for that job is often difficult.
The new Spinner replaces the belt with a belt-free direct-drive ring, which the manufacturer says is built to run for at least ten years without a belt change. The same approach is applied to the conveyors: infeed and outfeed conveyors are now driven directly by gear motors, with no chains or belts. That removes shaft shearing problems and makes the machine noticeably quieter.
A smaller machine that installs faster
Floor space is a constant constraint in profile, door and panel plants. On the new Spinner, the infeed and outfeed conveyors are fixed to the machine frame, so the alignment and assembly work that used to be needed at start-up is gone and the machine arrives ready to plug in and run. Each conveyor has also been shortened from 2 m to 1 m, which makes the total machine about 40% shorter. A more compact machine also costs less to ship.
Modular connection zones on both conveyors keep the layout flexible: roller tables, transfers or longer conveyors can be added to match an existing production line.
A re-engineered bubble wrap unit
The “BN” in Edda model names refers to the air bubble film unit, which wraps the product in bubble film before the stretch film layer goes on. On the new series this unit has been redesigned:
- Double lamination with a clean centre cut. The unit can seal and cut a much wider range of materials, including low-grade recycled bubble film, PE foam sheets, non-woven materials and plain PE film.
- Solid-state impulse sealing. Instead of keeping the sealing jaw hot all the time, the jaw heats only for a short sealing pulse. Edda puts the energy saving on sealing at up to 90%, and operators no longer work next to a permanently hot surface.
- Improved film unwinding for smoother, more consistent material feed.
The recycled film point deserves attention. As regulations push manufacturers toward recycled packaging content, a sealing unit that copes with lower-grade recycled bubble film gives buyers more freedom when sourcing consumables.
Buy a stretch wrapper now, add bubble wrap later
A Spinner S machine bought as a stretch wrapper only can now be upgraded later with a plug-and-play BN unit placed behind it. A manufacturer can start with orbital stretch wrapping today and add bubble film protection when products or customers demand it, without replacing the machine.
The stretch film carriage also gains a 20% mechanical pre-stretch device. Products lower than the centre of the ring are wrapped without slack or loose film, and every package uses roughly 20% less stretch film.
Designed with maintenance teams in mind
- Linear-guided top pressing that is far more rigid than before, with modular rollers that can be adapted to different products.
- Tool-free, open construction that meets CE safety requirements and gives direct access to every component for periodic and predictive maintenance.
- Pneumatics separated from the electrical cabinet, keeping the cabinet away from moisture and making pneumatic diagnostics easier.
- Ethernet-connected inverters that can be replaced without setting parameters again.
- A new, simpler HMI with built-in label design software and a plug-and-play label printer option.
Spinner 1000S BN at a glance

Typical applications include membrane, acrylic and lacquered cabinet fronts, doors and door frames, mouldings, laminate flooring, and aluminium, steel, wood and PVC profiles and pipes. Full technical data is on the Spinner 1000S BN product page. For products that do not need a bubble layer, the stretch-only Spinner 1000S covers the same size range.
Questions to ask before buying any orbital wrapper
- How is the ring driven, and how often does the drive need service?
- How long does replacing a drive or wear part take, and what has to be dismantled?
- Are the conveyors part of the machine, or do they need alignment on site?
- Can the bubble wrap or foam unit work with recycled film?
- Can a bubble wrap unit be added to a stretch-only machine later?
- Does the film carriage pre-stretch the film, and by how much?
- If an inverter fails, can it be swapped without reprogramming?
The new Spinner series answers most of these questions by design, which makes it worth a look for profile, door, panel and flooring manufacturers planning a packaging line upgrade in 2027.
