General Introduction: Stretch Hooder efficiently secures pallet loads, wrapping them from top to bottom in one stroke, optimizing uptime efficiency. The tight-fitting hood ensures load stability even when opened. It provides optimal outdoor protection against water, humidity, UV, and diverse weather conditions. The plastic film can be transparent or pre-printed with your logo, enhancing brand visibility at your customers' sites. Capable of securing various loads, including mixed, uneven, short, tall, heavy, and light, the pallet hooder requires minimal maintenance and is easy to operate.
Working Process: The Stretch Hooder creates a cover from tubular film and stretches it over the pallet to secure the load on the pallet. When the pallet enters the machine the length of the required cover is determined by measuring the length, width and height of the load and pallet. After opening and sealing the film it is rolled-up on the film gripper arms. Each of the arms can move in two directions to adapt on the pallet load. The film gripper arms stretch the rolled-up cover and guide it downwards over the pallet. During the hooding the shape of the load is controlled. Once the hood is complete over the pallet the arms move upwards again. The machine releases the hooded pallet and is then ready for the next pallet. Product Feature:
The max production capacity is about 60 pallets per hour(according to the pallet's height, the capacity may have slightly differences);
The film which is sealed on the top becomes the bag and it is effectively waterproof;
The products which are packaged together by the film in the pallets are very suitable for transportation. And it can effectively prevent product shedding;
The products on the pallets which will take away only by cut the stretch hood film, so it can reduce the risk of theft;
For 0.08-0.18mm thickness PE stretch hood film;
Cold stretch hood film doesn't need heat energy. So it is very eco-friendly and keep your products away from fire and explosion;
The machine contains the protection feature from the shrink wrap film and the economical shrink wrap machine;
The machine can be designed according to your requirements;
Double heats design makes the machine can choose the optimum film according to the sizes of the pallets automatically;
It is a circulation operation process of stretching and hooding in the cold stretch hood machine;
The modular design is very stable and solid and suitable for continuous working;
The stretch hood film can protect the products away from water and dust;
The transparency of the stretch hood film is higher than traditional PE film; you can see the bar code and trademark very clearly. So the advertisements and the exhibition value can be completely showed;
The upright packing power is strong; when the product leans, it also can keep standing;
The package material is environmental and recyclable.
Easy servicing: with the power you will have easy access to all over servicing, Which is reduced to a few quick tasks, special for the unique feature of lowering the top of the machine down to floor level for even easier, faster and safer service and maintenance. Film replacement and changing of sealing wire and film knife all take place at floor lever. No need to climb a ladder with a toolbox on your back to the top of the machine- the top will come down to you.
Energy saving: Sustainability and environment are at the forefront of the global debate today and we as packaging professionals have faced the challenge of taking practical steps to deliver more environmentally friendly packaging solutions.
Space saving: Space is often at a premium in today's production, and the small footprint in the packing area. The machine is small that is as elegant as it is functional. We are talking about a machine. Small in sizes but huge in effect, specially designed for operating efficiency and reliability with energy-saving features
Film saving: The top stretch film unwinding feature saves up to 10% film and ensures low film consumption, which also eliminates thin and fragile film on the corners of the load, making the film on the corners approx.30% thicker than normally.
Stretch hood technology offers significant benefits when compared to other types of pallet wrapping methods- from potential cost savings through reduced film and energy consumptions over material handling convenience to product display opportunities and improved marketability
Stretch hood equals 5 sides protection with reduced risk of product damage due to soiling and weather inferences as well as strains to which the products are exposed during transport and storage.

FAQ: 1. What is Stretch Hooder and how does it work? Stretch Hooder is a unique pallet packaging system, as it protects the pallet using a hood that adapts to the load without the need to apply heat. Stretch Hooder uses a tubular stretch film (Stretch Hood film) which stretches and applies to the load, covering it completely and protecting it on all sides. Unlike other systems, it only uses the exact amount of film needed to protect the load, resulting in a better-protected package with less film usage. 2. What kind of film does the stretch hooder use? What characteristics must the film have? Stretch Hood film is an advanced packaging film under continuous development and improvement to offer different gripping and protection results. It is a multilayer tubular film composed of Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (mLLDPE) and to a lesser extent EVA polymer, with properties for impermeability, stretchability, and elasticity. Its multilayer structure normally used contains inner layers that offer mechanical strength and stretch (usually composed with some EVA), while its outer layers contain additives that offer resistance to puncturing and friction, as well as sealing and waterproofing (which are those composed with LLDPE). When choosing a film to protect cargo, it is important to know the objectives of securing, protection, visibility, etc. to determine the necessary thickness, stretch properties, or protection additives (e.g. anti-UV filters).
3. Can the Stretch Hooder be integrated into an existing packaging line? Yes, our Stretch Hooder system can be integrated into any automatic packaging line that requires it. Maybe the other systems should be of the same brand, Stretch Hood system can be retrofitted to lines with existing strapping or stretch wrapping systems to offer the advantages of stretch hooding. In the case of such integration, our engineering team adapts both the conveyor line and the communication systems to ensure a smooth packaging process.
