EvoFilm Stretch

Today, plastic film continues to be an ideal material for secondary packaging due to its best-in-class lightness and density ratio per selling unit. Film-to-film recyclability and reduced greenhouse gas impacts are major benefits when completing the full film life cycle analysis.

While shrink-wrapping is the most common solution, stretch wrapping technology offers now revolutionary results. Performed at ambient temperature, so no shrink tunnel is required, this new wrapping process offers huge plastic and energy savings that will boost your bottom line and sustainability goals.

Stretch characteristics

Film:

Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)

High pre-stretch neutral film

Film thickness: from 10 to 23 microns (0.39 to 0.96 mils)

Packs:

Pack auto-sealing by self-adhesive film property

Various film revolutions possibilities (2 to 4) to suit pack requirements

Ideal solution for transportation/logistic needs

Top 3 benefits:

50% reduction in plastic film quantity needed for an equivalent batch of product

90% reduction in energy consumption as no shrink tunnel is required

Significant machine footprint reduction as no shrink tunnel and discharge conveyors are needed anymore

Features

Modular platform: from 1 to 4 modules

Different speed and application requirements available: from 20 to 80 packs/minute
Working principle:
- Infeed via belt conveyors: mass flow or lanes with an upstream divider
- Product collation and transfer, inside the clamps, done by servo-driven top pusher
- Clamps holding the full batch
- Film applied around the product batch thanks to the clamp rotation
Extractable sliding film table on rollers for easy access

All Containers: round or shaped bottles (PET, HDPE, Glass), Cans, Cartons, Clusters, “Topclip” cardboards, from 0.1 to 8 liters
Technology compatible with products in bulk, in multipacks or in trays
Possibility to have packs closed on 2 or 4 sides
Multiple infeed and outfeed configurations for easy insertion on existing lines
User-friendly film splicing with a 60-second module stop, but without stopping the other modules
User-friendly tool-free manual format changeover in 12 minutes/module

Greater film and pack adhesion
- Highly stable pallets for more efficient warehouse and transport handling
- Removal of pallet interlayers in certain cases
Complies with the Eumos (European Safe Logistics Association) standards
Potential removal of the corrugated support (tray or pad) for transit/logistic packs or multipacks, thanks to the increased stretch film resistance
