Packaging Food & Beverages with BEUMER Stretch Hood®

January 2020

The combination of vertical and horizontal film contracting forces ensures maximum load stability. The process and the flexible film are coordinated to ensure that even products with sharp edges can be packed on pallets for safe transport, every time. This enables the palletized goods to be well protected for warehousing, as well as being safely loaded and transported, in summer and winter alike, and in all weather conditions.

Easy Handling of Food & Beverage Packaging

Innovative technology – easy to install, operate and maintain. Our innovative system automatically recognizes pallet sizes and selects the right film format to give a perfect match. The intuitive touch panel makes the system uncomplicated to operate. Video explanations demonstrate technical movements to optimize the processes in a day-to-day working environment.

Smooth, tightly stretched film surfaces ensure a good display effect and barcode readability – a far cry from creased, overlapping films. Our stretch hood series complements the outward appearance of the customer’s products by ensuring that palletized goods are ideally packaged with high-quality film using a careful process. To make a lasting impression, the tear- and impact- resistant wrinkle-free film packaging can also be individually printed with the customer’s brand.

Product safety during transport is a core aspect of all packaging systems. The BEUMER stretch hood® series ensures that packed goods are ideally prepared for transport from the producer to the end customer. This is taken care of by the perfect film fit, robust packaging material and stabilizing biaxial stretching, as stable results guarantee that there will be no complications during transport.

Protection from interference

Packaging for transport with additional benefits – whether at the point of sale or during warehousing, the proven standard process using closed hoods always keeps high-quality products safe from undesired removal. The firm outer packaging ensures that the palletized goods are protected from third-party interference along the entire distribution chain.

Sustainability

All of our systems are configured to ensure a positive eco-balance – in other words, to keep energy and material consumption to a minimum. This means that the BEUMER stretch hooding uses no heat energy for the preparation and follow-up processing of the film. The film is applied in a single layer, and only in the precise amount and strength actually required – even when recyclable materials are used. The use of innovative technology keeps emission levels very low.
