Stretch Hood Machines

HOW IT WORKS ?

Would you like to learn step by step working principle of our Stretch Hood Machines?

01 Pallet inlet Feeding Conveyor

It allows safely external pallet feeding by using safety light sensor barriers

02 Film Measuring, Sealing and Cutting

Pallet height is measured with the help of sensors. According to the pallet height, the length of the nylon is automatically cut and sealed.

03 Stretching

Stretch film is held by the arms on the machine. According to the pallet width, the arms are opened and the nylon film is stretched.

04 Pallet Output and Stock

After the pallet stretching process is finished, the machine returns to its starting position. The stretched pallet is transported to the exit conveyor and stored and ready to be taken by forklift

How does stretching work?

Let's take a look at how we do stretching step by step.

01

Unwinding of stretch hood film roller and opening from coil

02

Cutting according to pallet size automatically and sealing for each pallet

03

Hood formed by Arms and Ready to be stretched

04

Cartesian Arms , Stretch the film and it generates plastic elasticity forces in all directions

05

Cartesian Arms Moves from up to down and it adds vertical stretch forces for great load stability

06

Stretching Process Finish, Available for different Pallet sizes

STRETCH HOODING TECHNOLOGY

Stretch hood film is a new packaging technology that can replace heat shrinkable film and wrapping film by covering the top of the pallet vertically and releasing the elasticity at the bottom of the tray to stretch the product tightly.

FEATURES

Advance Technology for Stretching...

Protects against ; Dust, Moisture, Rain, UV and all adverse external conditions

Low energy consumption

Less amount of stretch film usage

No need additional heat treatment

Eco-friendly system

With one foil size you can pack different sizes of pallets!

It provides better mechanical properties than both “stretch wrapping film” and “shrink film”.

Stretch hood does not stick to the goods piled on pallet even if the goods are plastic. With shrink hood there is the possibility of melted plastic sticking to your goods.

It is 100% waterproof and eco-friendly packaging solution.

It is much more cost effective since stretch foil consumption is lower than comparing stretch wrapping and shrinking methods .

The circumference of the stretch hood film used to cover the pallet is up to 30-40% less than the circumference of the shrink hood film used to cover the same pallet.

Stretch hoods don’t need any heating process with fire or an oven to be warmed. This results in lower energy consumption and also lower insurance fees due to eliminating a fire risk.

Load Capacity	Up to 120 pallets per hour
Machine Height*	4500 mm
Pallet Size (min)	L 800 mm x W 600 mm
Pallet Size (max)	L 1200 mm x W 1200 mm

You can use also different Pallet sizes

Should I make adjustment For Different Pallet High ?

No; Machine measure the high of the Pallet automatically and arrange film length accordingly

If forklift operator would not take the full pallets from the machine , What Happens?

According the your storage conveyor quantity , it will store on the roller conveyors, When all the storage roller conveyors full , it will finish stretching process on the center conveyor and it will wait till operator takes stretched Pallets

Is it Possible to acces remote and support the technicians?

Yes , if requested with your permissions, we can Access to machine , we can check the programming and diagnose the troubleshoot.

We can also revise the program of the stretch hooder remotely , such as a new conveyor integrations, shuttle conveyor integrations etc...

If the Stretch Hooder connected to Auto palletizer , is it available to feed External Pallet to stretch hooder while palletizer in Running mode?

Yes , we install Side feding conveyor with safety Light barriers.

Once Forklift entered to put External Full pallet to "stretch hooder" inlet roller conveyor , light safety barrier will Pause the previous conveyor and Palletizer consecutively When operator leave the Conveyor , he push the button where is next to conveyor , and system continue automatically.

Stretch Hood is a new technology for pallet covering.

Hood film produced in accordance with the size of the pallet, is cut in the pallet wrapping machine according to the height of the pallet and is wrapped around it. This provides a complete isolation of the pallet. The product in the pallet is protected from contamination, dust and rain. It is generally used in the ceramic industry, white goods industry, beverage industry, raw material industry and paper industry, where pallet sizes rarely vary. High mechanical strength

High burst and tear resistances

Excellent grip and wrapping properties

Low haze

Adjustable UV light barrier

Applications: Brick, cement, ceramic, white goods etc.
