3 BEUMER. Always one step ahead. With more than 20 years of experience and a large variety of projects realised worldwide, BEUMER continuous to successfully demonstrate its competence within the field of transport packaging technology. Ongoing technical development is the main focus for further success. The development of the stretch hood process enables BEUMER to offer its customers both an ecological and economically sustainable end-of-line transport packaging solution. We provide great stability for your pallets. No matter the weather. The packaging films used in the BEUMER stretch hood process have many good properties. The required elongation and the biaxial tension forces can be optimally adapted by the film manufacturer to each single product and to the respective operating conditions. In this regard, the close cooperation between BEUMER and the film manufacturers has a particularly positive effect on the development. The connection between the water-proof film and the pallet, the so-called understretch, ensures the stability of the load, the safe transport from the producer to the final customer and the outdoor storage capabilities. We keep cool. Packaging without any heat energy. The innovative technology of the BEUMER stretch hood process omits heat energy during the packaging of products, eliminating the risk of fire. This increases the operational reliability in your company and reduces the possible insurance rate. This is an important requirement for engineering, especially in the area of the packaging industry. The new generation: BEUMER stretch hood i. 1. Spreading of the film hood and transfer to the crimping device 2. Regular crimping of the hood; welding and lengthening to a particular size which has been determined by previous sensing of the stack height 3. Stretching of the hood; the degree of stretch is defined by the stack dimensions, film elasticity and film gusset measurements 4. Lowering of the crimping and stretching unit and simultaneous stretching of the film in vertical direction: biaxial stretch 5. Understretch formation Our target: only the best for you. Together with noteworthy customers, suppliers, film manufacturers and associations we have created a new, innovative system generation: BEUMER stretch hood i. On the basis of already proven elements, BEUMER developed a system which features more efficiency, flexibility, productivity, and simplicity of design, operation and maintenance for securing palletised load units in the most efficient and effective way possible

7 We control the film and the costs. Especially in times of constantly increasing competition optimal product packaging with simultaneous cost reduction is an essential aspect of your competitiveness. BEUMER stretch hood i reduction for positive results. Not only is the time required for film replacement reduced to 2 minutes with the BEUMER stretch hood i, thus increasing productivity, film consumption is also reduced thanks to the increased spectrum of film thickness. The flexibility of the BEUMER stretch hood i permits the use of films with a strength ranging from 40 µm to 120 µm. The reduced compressed-air consumption and the reduction of the useful area of the container of up to 50% are as impressive as the reduction in the number of small drive units, which together result in a reduced energy consumption of approxi mately 15%. This way you reduce costs, improve the CO ² balance and increase sustainability. Engineering and visual characteristics that speak for themselves. With safety. The modified crimping device, BEUMER OptiStretch, which prevents possible film tears and improves the uncoiling behaviour, is part of the large variety of innovations. The improved positioning accuracy of the BEUMER stretch hood i implies: the lowering of crimping bows closer to the stacked product a smaller load for the film by the elimination of interference zones a more precise dispensing of film to the package This means increased system availability as well as a considerable improvement of the visual packaging results. The u-shaped frame design avoids the interruption of the conveying technology. This way, the pallet stability is secured by a quiet conveying behaviour. Your products reach their destination safely and without damage. An improved packaging appearance leads to an improvement in quality of your brands and results in business success for you. We also think of your employees. While developing the BEUMER stretch hood i, particular attention was paid to the operator s convenience. Operation, film replacement and maintenance are carried out only from one machine side, taking into account ergonomic conditions. So, for example, the feeding height/ fastening height of the film roll was reduced, eliminating need of a fork lift; a manual hoist cart is sufficient. The minimised sound pressure level of less than 74 db (A) ensures low-noise operation and comfortable working conditions. 7

8 Technology that gets the job done. Increased output capacity by several contemporaneous motion sequences Fully automatic pallet and package detection BEUMER stretch hood i Flexible, modular and functional. Automatic detection of the required film length by ultrasonic sensor BEUMER OptiStretch Reduction of assembly and commissioning time Long system life Latest, innovative drive concept 8

9 Motion Control new opportunities for function, operation and service. Easy operation, high functionality and flexibility implying low maintenance costs the Motion Control System offers impressive new possibilities: The drive network is carried out by electronic gear units having a common guide variable and ensures better functionality of the machine and easy operation. The acceleration and braking processes occur with soft transitions (S ramps). This places less stress on machine components and on the drive system. The energy compensation realised by the common DC bus of the servomotors reduces energy consumption and allows the omission of braking resistors. The decentralised technology permits the use of fewer cables which represents a further advantage for the flexible cable ducts. This technology creates no additional control cabinet heating, making air conditioning unnecessary. Take the test! We give you the opportunity to test customer-specific products in our regional test centres in Germany, USA and Thailand. With the BEUMER stretch hood process we can offer you an individual, safe and visually attractive way to package your products for transport. It s the first impression that counts. The first visual impression is often decisive for the end-consumers buying behaviour. Manufacturers of consumer goods are especially interested in having their high-quality products reaching the point of sale in the best possible condition. An essential requirement is the gentle handling of products within logistics processes. Thanks to the excellent visibility of the product through our stretch film packaging, the risk of returning the products to the manufacturer or to the point of transshipment is considerably reduced. 9
