Signode Industrial Group, the manufacturer of consumables, tools, software and equipment to optimise end-of-line packaging operations and protect product in transit, delivers greater pallet load stability and product protection for corrugated box plants with its line of Octopus stretch wrappers and Lachenmeier stretch hood equipment.
Newly adopted in the corrugated industry, the Octopus Line of stretch wrappers featuring ring technology offers significant advantages over traditional rotary arm and conventional stretch wrapping methods. They offer proper pallet load containment for a variety of applications and load sizes.
Equipped with the company’s patented Easy S Film Carriage, they ensure simple film loading, maximises pre-stretch performance and minimises wear. The positive contact of the “S” wrap pattern improves pre-stretch levels, can better handle a variety of films and significantly lowers the overall cost of ownership.
Octopus Ring Wrapper
Lachenmeier’s Multi FleXL stretch hood machine provides the necessary protection and force to stabilise even the most challenging loads. Flexible enough to handle varying load sizes automatically, the machine can be configured with up to four different sizes to ensure a perfect fit. Wrapping up to 180 loads an hour, depending on the size and height of the product, Multi FleXL further provides fast and accurate results. When coupled with Xeros™ stretch hood film, loads are not only quickly and effectively secured but also free of contaminates and moisture. Stretch hood film inherently offers waterproof protection – ensuring loads are kept dry from the elements. However, condensation can also build from the inside due to high humidity or drastic fluctuations in atmosphere temperature. The patented multi-layer film technology used to manufacture Xeros™ prevents that.

“The Lachenmeier stretch hood systems and the Octopus Line of rotary ring wrappers are both ideal for manufacturers looking to effectively secure pallet loads during transport,” Wolschlag adds. “Coupled with the fact these solutions minimise waste and maximise box plant efficiencies, customers can achieve ideal load containment while simultaneously improving their bottom line.”
