Transverse stretch hooding process

Automatic transverse stretch hooder

Möllers automatic transverse stretch hooders use the security potential of the stretch film in the most effective way: The tubular film hood is radially stretched to the drawn width, with the resultant retractive force the film is tightened around the pallet load during positioning. Through the development of the patented High-Expander and Ultrastretch technologies Möllers was able to significantly improve the transverse stretch hood process.

With the highly extensible films used here considerably higher tensile strengths have been achieved, which significantly improve the load integrity and the bond between load and pallet compared to the stretch films originally used. Further advantages of the modern stretch process are the suitability of a single tubular film width for all usual pallet formats and the reduced film consumption of up to 30 %.
