Model IS43 Pallet Stretch Hooding Machine

The IS43 is a fully-automatic pallet stretch hooding machine which forms and applies hoods to palletised products using gusseted stretch film. Film is drawn from a roll, stretched and placed over the pallet. When the film is released it recovers naturally and tightens around the pack providing pack support, protection and a means of displaying a printed logo if required.

Key features

• Economy. The machine uses the stretch characteristics of the film. No energy is used in heating the film leading to an immediate saving over the use of shrink wrapping machines.
  
• The design of the stretching arch allows the film to be released very close to the conveyor so that it will grip the pallet base. There is no need to lift the pallet above the conveyor.
  
• The machine can be installed within an existing conveyor system.
  
• The film stretching arch can be lowered to conveyor level and all regular maintenance can be carried out from floor level.
  
• Film loading and threading can be completed from ground level.
  
• Up to three rolls of film of different dimensions can be used to apply hoods automatically to pallets of different sizes, or twin reel holders can be supplied to allow pre-loading of same-size film rolls to reduce reel change time.
  
• Whilst one hood is being applied, another is being prepared to maximise pack throughput.
