Stretch Hooding Machine / IS43

The Stretch Hooding Machine model IS43 has been designed to package palletized products using tubular stretch film. The stretch hooding technique uses a film hood with a smaller circumference without the use of heat; the stretching and shrinkage strength of the film assure the best stability of the packaged products. The hoods are prepared in the rear part of the machine, while the hooding of the product is performed in the front zone.

The hood, duly opened, is laid down on the package by a descending frame up to the base of the product.

The mechanical clamping system moves the bag vertically on the upper part of the arch; the film is gathered on four special devices, then stretched to fit the dimensions of the product to be packaged.

The peculiarity of this packaging system is the final result: the welding ends of the hood are on the inner side, thus assuring a flat surface on the upper side and therefore excellent load stability.

The IS43 has a simple and modular structure that allows for easy maintenance operations. The machine can be installed on any type of existing conveyors without any modification.

All the zones of the machine that require maintenance can be easily reached by the operator without the use of ladders and/or platforms.

The mobile coil holder and film guide allow a very simple and fast replacement of the film coils. The machine can use up to three different film coils. This allows the automatic packaging of loads of different sizes.
