Stretch Hood Packaging

Lachenmeier has its Stretch Hood machine type Power Flex in operation at Pack Expo 2006.

The machine will run with both American and European stretch hood film based on Nexxstar™ resin formulations provided by ExxonMobil Chemical. With this film and the innovations made on the Lachenmeier stretch hood machine, significant cost reduction, improved optical properties and outstanding load stability can be achieved. Lower operating costs can be achieved by down-gauging the film thickness and at the same time obtaining the optimum load stability.
