Flexible packaging - Import export

The stretch hood alternative to stretch wrap. The Multi FleX1 is capable of wrapping at a very high speed of up to 250+ loads per hour. The Multi FleX1 offers great flexibility with the possibility to run various load sizes with only one film size. At the same time the machine can be fitted with several film rolls to provide the ability to wrap multiple loads sizes with greater variations in size on the fly. The flexibility lies in the gripper system, where each of the four grippers can be adjusted individually both lengthways and widthways and thus adapt to the actual load size. The Multi FleX1 runs with our patented system, where the top of the machine can be lowered to floor level to ease service and maintenance (EP 2 069 206 B1).

The shrink wrap machine type Combi Flex, where hood application and shrinking take place in one space-saving unit, was introduced to the world market by Lachenmeier back in 1982. The film hood is fed from the top of the machine, blown up like a balloon and in this way stretched to the largest possible extent, after which it is applied over load. After application, the film hood is shrunk by mains of heat and is effectively secured for transport. Essential when shrink wrapping loads is the bottom shrinking, where load and pallet are kept tightly together as one unit. One of the most significant advantages of the Lachenmeier shrink wrapping machine is that all four burners have separate automatic speed controlled motors, ignition systems, supervision systems, etc. In case of variations in product dimensions, the heat distribution can be adjusted automatically to each single product.
