Wrapping machines - Import export

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.

Tall and large loads wrapped with the Multi FleXL stretch hood machine. Our Multi FleXL machine is designed to wrap loads from 500 x 500 mm and up to 3200 length x 1700 width mm, with a maximum height of 3000 mm. The machine is specially designed to wrap large loads like insulation batches, gypsum boards and corrugated boxes. Capacity wise the machine can wrap up to 150 loads an hour depending on product height and size. The machine is fitted with the same well-known technical feature as the Power Flex T1 and the Multi FleX1, such as our patented film unwinding during stretch patent (EP 1 184 281), which eliminates thin and fragile film on the corners of the stretch hood wrapped load. The system makes film on the corners of the load approx. 30% thicker than normal and avoids the formation of "pouches" on the corners. At the same time, this system saves up to 10% in film consumption.

As well as cost comparable to stretch wrap The Power Flex machine is primarily used for wrapping of different load heights but only one pallet size or pallets with very similar dimensions. If the size difference between the smallest and the largest pallet is too big, the Multi Flex machine should be considered. Like the Multi FleX1, the Power Flex T1 is fitted with our patented technology of lowering the top of the machine down to floor level for easy service and maintenance (EP 2 069 206 B1). The capacity of the Power Flex T1 is 120+ loads an hour.
