Stretch hooding has the ability to package the pallet for high-bay storage systems, with under-stretch or different base reinforcements. High transparency means the goods are clearly visible. And the barcodes on the bags can be scanned quickly. Logos and text can also be printed on the film for promotional purposes. A flat film placed on the pallet offers additional
protection against external influences on all six sides of the stacked pellets. This ensures the filled bags are protected against the likes of sunlight, dirt, and humidity during shipment and outside storage. “This was very important to the responsible persons
since they have to transport the goods safely and in perfect condition to the customers,” said Valle Santafosta. In addition, the stretch film keeps the bags tightly on the pallet, preventing them from slipping.
BEUMER STRETCH HOOD: THE RIGHT MACHINE The stretch hood A is very energy efficient and gentle on the material. On its way to the crimping and stretching unit, the sealing seam on the film hood cools so that it can be crimped quickly which means the pallets can be packaged at a high bag sequencing. In order to facilitate the work for the maintenance personnel and ensure high system availability, the new packaging system was designed without a platform. Maintenance work is handled at the floor level.
Additional benefits include the compact design and the resulting low height and small footprint. “We have equipped this line with the BEUMER Human Machine Interface, which makes it easy and simple to operate,” says Valle Santafosta. “The operators are provided with an easily understandable and intuitive interaction concept, enabling them to define the same efficient working sequences for all machines.” Displays help visualise how and where to make the necessary settings. The user can call up video sequences showing the changing of the film roll and the film knife.
RAPID PROJECT PHASES “In winter, we supplied the first two BEUMER stretch hood packaging systems to the Spanish plant, a few weeks later two additional ones,” recalls Valle Santafosta. BEUMER Group also delivered two packaging systems to the other Spanish plant in the winter and two more in August. When asked to describe the largest challenge of this project, Valle Santafosta cited a short delivery period - only six months - and a fixed commissioning period. Furthermore, the machines have to be integrated in the existing packaging lines. This involves combining the latest safety standards of the BEUMER stretch hood with the safety levels of the existing systems. “We have a lot of experience in this,” he emphasised. “We solve this with separate safety circuits.”
