Orion Packaging Systems, a ProMach brand and a leading manufacturer of pallet stretch wrapping solutions, has announced the launch of the Orion Flex Legion semi-automatic stretch wrapper. This fully U.S.-designed and highly engineered machine expands Orion\u2019s Flex line and reinforces the company\u2019s commitment to domestic manufacturing, supply chain reliability, and long-term customer value.<\/p>\n
The new Flex Legion system replaces Orion\u2019s imported entry-level stretch wrapper, providing manufacturers with a 100% U.S.-built solution designed to deliver greater consistency in quality, more predictable lead times, and improved control over total cost of ownership. By bringing design, engineering, sourcing, and production entirely stateside, Orion can reduce exposure to overseas supply chain disruptions and tariff volatility while maintaining tighter control over components, inventory, and pricing.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlex Legion reflects our focus on building equipment that customers can rely on\u2014not just today, but over the long term,\u201d said Pat Pownell, Director of Sales at Orion. \u201cManufacturing this system in the United States enables us to respond faster to customer needs, ensure consistent build quality, and deliver an entry-level machine that performs at a level typically associated with more advanced systems.\u201d <\/p>\n
While Flex Legion serves as Orion\u2019s entry point into semi-automatic automation, it is engineered with the same design philosophy and quality found across the Flex line. The Flex Legion comes with Allen-Bradley HMI operation that is paired with intuitive manual adjustment knobs for turntable speed, carriage travel, and film tension. The machine features a heavy-duty base frame constructed from structural tubing paired with an all-steel tower, providing increased durability and long-term stability. The robust design supports loads up to 4,000 pounds, with optional configurations available\u2014from 20 loads a day to 20 loads an hour\u2014 to accommodate larger pallet loads and future operational growth inside a manufacturing plant or distribution warehouse.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom an engineering standpoint, Flex Legion was designed to be a long-term solution,\u201d said Bryce Holm, Mechanical Engineer at Orion. \u201cIt shares architecture and components with Orion\u2019s Flex line, which improves durability, simplifies maintenance, and reduces the total number of unique spare parts customers need to keep on hand.\u201d<\/p>\n
Flex Legion is also equipped with a powered InstaThreadTM<\/sup><\/a> carriage capable of delivering uniform 200% film pre stretch, helping manufacturers achieve consistent load containment while reducing film consumption compared to friction-based or core-break systems commonly used in entry level applications.<\/p>\n The system\u2019s semi-automatic operation and intuitive controls make it well-suited for manufacturers transitioning from hand wrapping to automation. Designed for versatility, Flex Legion supports a wide range of industries, including food, beverage, and general manufacturing, and can be applied in virtually any operation that palletizes finished goods.<\/p>\n For more information on the Flex Legion semi-automatic stretch wrapping system, visit: https:\/\/www.orionpackaging.com\/products\/semi-automatic-stretch-wrapping-system-flex-legion\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
