StretchPacker – the New Collation System!
Traditional End Of Line Shrink Collation films and Cartons are now being challenged by a new highly cost
effective method of Collating items – The StretchPacker from B&B MAF.
The StretchPacker replaces traditional shrink collation and cartoning systems with a well proven process,
which uses the most modern drive systems, well-proven impulse heated joint sealing and cutting systems
guaranteeing strong seals for the highest of stretch forces. A wide variety of packaging solutions for single
and multipacks can be realised with corresponding handling systems for multi format collation.
Wherever there is an End Of Line ShrinkWrapper or Collation Cartoning system then the StretchPacker
offers a real potential to reduce operating costs considerably and provide a more sustainable packaging
solution.
The advantages of a StretchPacker are:
For Shrink Collation Film replacement:
-

no need for a shrink tunnel
considerably less film consumption compared to shrink wrapping machines
no influence of heat on sensitive products – e.g. frozen/chilled products
printed film can be used
no dimpling effect

For Carton Collation replacement
- considerable raw material cost savings achieved
- massive reduction in back of store waste
- faster production speeds
- leaner operating and simpler processing
B&B MAF are experts in the integration of processes into existing End Of Line packaging systems with full
design and layout capability.
Trials on sample products can be undertaken in the B&B-MAF plant Hopsten Germany where we have a
demonstration machine continually available at anytime.
