In Goldpack we also manufacture automatic stretch hood and wrapping machines. Automatic stretch wrapping machines are usually used in higher volume applications, from 20 pallets per hour to up to 120 loads per hour being wrapped. In comparison to semi-automatic stretch wrapping machines, automatic stretch wrapping machine, need no operator intervention during the cycle. Usually, loads are brought to the automatic stretch wrapping machine on a conveyor belt, where from the automatic stretch wrapper can automatically begin wrapping of the products. Stretch hood on the other hand, is the solution to handle unstable loads. Even the most prevalent types of damage to loads; such as shifting, ripped or loose packing, crushing, water damage and infestation, can be minimized by using the right unitization technology.
Semi-automatic stretch wrapping machines, which are also manufactured by Goldpack, are mostly used for handling low-volume applications with fewer than 20 loads per hour being wrapped.
