Tentoma offers various options for its RoRo StretchPack® packaging machine, allowing the complete packaging solution to be tailored to the specific product and production line. These options ensure high-quality packaging at high capacity, with the centring unit being a prime example.

The centring unit is designed to align products on the infeed conveyor, ensuring they are perfectly centred before entering the RoRo StretchPack® packaging machine. This precise alignment guarantees a seamless packaging process, which is essential for optimising packaging capacity.

This video showcases different centring units designed for various types of conveyors, including:

• Roller conveyor
• Flat conveyor belt
• Modular belt conveyor
• Dual belt conveyor

New brochure about
roll packaging

We have now updated our brochure about roll packaging with RoRo StretchPack® by adding more photos and providing further details.

RoRo StretchPack® is highly suitable for the automated packaging of roll materials. The brochure illustrates how you can benefit from this cutting-edge technology for packaging rolls such as:

• Nonwovens
• Geotextiles
• Artificial grass
• Carpets
• Technical textiles
• Other similar roll materials

Using a RoRo StretchPack® packaging solution, you will get a packaging solution that perfectly fits insulation packaging. First of all, it utilizes a stretch hood film to create a 6-sided package that is 100% sealed and waterproof. But there are more reasons. 

In this small flyer, we have listed “5 ways to improve insulation packaging with RoRo StretchPack®.” Click below to read the full flyer.

The film stand for the RoRo StretchPack® packaging machines can
optionally be equipped with an air shaft to hold the film roll. An air shaft is a convenient solution that allows for quick and easy film roll changes.

The integrated measuring tape makes it easy to centre the film roll on
the air shaft. Fixing the roll quickly and efficiently using compressed air, while releasing the film roll is as simple as pressing the air valve.

When using two air shafts to switch between, film rolls can be prepared in advance while production is ongoing. This minimises downtime for changing film rolls and increases overall uptime.

Advantages of using air shaft

• Quick fixation and release of film roll
• Ease of centrering the film roll
• Prepare film roll change in advance
• Reduce time for changing film roll

Important!
Before using an air shaft to hold a film roll, it is necessary to perform a calculation to ensure the air shaft can support the film roll’s weight. This depends on the type of film, along with the roll’s diameter and width.

In this video, you will discover the advanced capabilities of the RoRo StretchPack® packaging machine for single-panel packaging, which is 100% waterproof.

This packaging machine is enhanced with an optional centring unit on the infeed conveyor. This video demonstrates a test packaging with a single panel, showcasing how the centring unit ensures an optimal packaging process by aligning and centring products before the packaging begins.

The centring unit lifts the product from the dual belt conveyor, straightening and centring it on the conveyor. Following this, the packaging process starts. The panel moves horizontally into the opening of the tubular stretch hood film. During the packaging, the stretch hood film is sealed at both ends, creating 100% waterproof packaging. This means that packaging and sealing are done in the same process.

Packaging products on skids or pallets with cross stringers using stretch hood film requires a movable bridge conveyor to ensure an uninterrupted process. Without it, the gap between the infeed and outfeed conveyors in the packaging machine can cause stringers to fall, leading to disruptions and compromised packaging quality.

The bridge conveyor eliminates this issue by providing a stable, continuous path for the product. Integrated with the RoRo StretchPack® system, it ensures precise alignment as the product moves into the stretch hood film, delivering secure and high-quality packaging.

This fully automated process includes loading, applying, and sealing the stretch hood film. Excess film is cut and collected for recycling, offering an efficient and sustainable packaging solution. The result is a waterproof six-sided packaging that protects the product and enhances its appearance.

Watch the video to see how the bridge conveyor enables seamless six-sided packaging of skids using the RoRo StretchPack® machine.

Simplifying the strapping workflow

You can unlock additional operational efficiencies by incorporating a bridge conveyor into your packaging line. A movable bridge conveyor allows for the integration of securing spacers and bearers beneath your products within the packaging workflow.

A RoRo StretchPack® solution with a movable bridge conveyor can include spacers and bearers within the stretch hood film. The film’s tension ensures that the spacers remain firmly in place, providing stable, smooth packaging without the need for strapping. This eliminates the need for dedicated strapping machinery for certain products, simplifying your packaging line and reducing operational complexity.

With RoRo StretchPack®, you can eliminate the strapping process to secure spacer and bearers below products such as insulation materials, plasterboards and similar.
