With the invention of shrinkable resins in the 60`s, shrink hood systems representing the longest available film transport packaging method in the market. Thermal shrink hooding systems can be operated with electricity or gas in compact one or in high speed two station systems. BEUMER combipac® E (one station, heating source: electricity) and G (one station heating source: gas) as well as the BEUMER thermopac® E (two stations, heating source: electricity) and G (two stations heating source: gas) offering the perfect solution if shrinking is your choice of protection.
Goods of all kinds are reliably protected for storage and transport by placing a film hood over them and than shrink the material to the shape of the product. The concept is based on more than two decades of experience in the manufacture of film packaging systems. BEUMER Group offers the perfect solution for every application, ranging from simple machines to automated high performance systems. Proven and reliable heating systems are used for the shrink frame. The sophisticated and proven technology combines for up-to-date quality and performance, thus ensuring the best possible of economic efficiency.
Shrink hooding benefits at a glance compared with stretch wrapping:
- Product ventilation and printing of film possible
- Well suited for AGV or automated high-rack systems
- First class weather protection from 5 or even 6 sides
- Up to 8 times fewer film replacements increase system availability and minimize operator interaction
- Clear film improves product presentation and brand recognition at point-of-sale or in transit and positively impacts consumer buying behavior
- Good bar code readability due to no overlaying film bands
- Precise budgeting due to exact film consumption
Shrink hooding benefits at a glance compared with stretch hooding:
- Good for products which do not require contracting forces
