Packaging technology

Unpacking can also be optimized

With the Beumer stretch hood A, the Beumer Group has a stretch film packaging system in its portfolio that is used in a wide range of industries. The system supplier can now equip the machine with the newly developed easy-opening hood: this world first allows employees in retail outlets or logistics centers to remove the film quickly and easily when unpacking or repacking the goods - without any cutting tools.

Until now, there was no pallet packaging system on the market that did not require the operator to open the film with a cutting tool. With this conventional opening method, however, employees can injure themselves or colleagues - or even damage products. This can be expensive for companies and, of course, increases the risk of accidents. With the easy-opening hood, however, employees in logistics centers have a much easier time and save a considerable amount of time. To achieve this, Beumer, together with a well-known film supplier, has developed a technology that specifically weakens films along a central tear line without impairing the securing function of the stretch hood. The employee can tear it open easily and very quickly without the need for tools. This increases unpacking productivity enormously. The idea for this film preparation system came from Beumer. The machine and system supplier has been working very closely with the film supplier for decades. In the chemical industry, the building materials sector and food production, the efficient packaging of palletized goods is a competitive factor for many companies.

Higher throughput in a smaller area

With the easy-opening hood, the film is specifically weakened along a central tear line. This allows the film to be torn open easily and very quickly without the need for tools.

It is about transport security, theft protection, the display effect of the packaged goods or protection from the weather during outdoor storage. However, process efficiency and reduced costs - i.e. energy and material consumption - are also crucial, as is output: the number of pallets that companies can pack within a certain time. With the Beumer stretch hood A, the Beumer Group offers an efficient solution for all industries. This stretch hood packaging machine is particularly easy and safe to operate. The Beumer Group equips this machine with a Human Machine Interface. This operating device provides the employee with an easy-to-understand and intuitive interaction concept with which work processes can be designed efficiently. The Beumer stretch hood A has a higher throughput capacity and requires over 40 percent less space than previous models in this machine series.
