A wrapping material indicator arrangement for a wrapping machine, in particular a rotobaler. The indicator is supported on the circumference of a wrapping material roll, from which wrapping material is withdrawn during a wrapping operation. A rotating counter roll, pressed against the wrapping material roll, drives a rotating wheel mounted on an arm that allows the wheel to translate through an arc. The translation of the wheel and arm indicates the amount of wrapping material left on the wrapping material roll and its rotation allows an operator to monitor the operation of the rotobaler for malfunctions during the wrapping operation.
A wrapping material indicator arrangement of a wrapping machine comprising a device supported on the circumference of a wrapping material roll from which wrapping material is withdrawn during a wrapping operation wherein the wrapping material roll rotates during the wrapping operation, the device including an indictor being moveable in position with respect to the machine as a diameter of the wrapping material roll decreases.
