Abstract

Existing wrapping machines provide issues for small-scale producers and distributors because of their high cost, enormous size, and lack of portability. The goal of this project is to design and build a low-cost, portable automatic wrapping machine to address these challenges. The machine was created by gathering data from existing products, assessing essential design components, and utilizing CAD software for design optimization. The manufacturing process included cutting, welding, and assembling of lightweight yet robust components to ensure affordability and ease of movement. The resulting prototype has a compact form with a smaller footprint, improved portability with wheels, and a cheaper production cost of RM 555, making it affordable for small firms. Testing confirmed the machine's ability to efficiently wrap items, with a cycle time of 15-25 seconds. The equipment can support goods weighing up to 30 kg and operates ergonomically. This study met its aims by proposing a viable alternative to standard wrapping machines that is affordable, portable, and efficient. Future enhancements, such as the addition of a film height detector and a gearbox, could improve functionality and adaptability to a broader set of applications
