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.
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.

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.

This video highlights the advanced functionality of Tentoma’s RoRo StretchPack® packaging machine, engineered for the automated, large-scale packaging of sizable rolls. In this factory acceptance test (FAT), a large geosynthetic roll is packaged to demonstrate the efficiency, reliability, and durability of this cutting-edge solution.
The machine featured is the RoRo StretchPack® XL-S1 model, equipped with a pusher device and conveyor units. In one fully automated process, it wraps each roll in a tubular stretch hood film that is welded at both ends, creating a 100% sealed package. This watertight and dust-resistant seal effectively protects the product from moisture, dirt, and other environmental contaminants, preserving product quality during storage and transport.
While this RoRo StretchPack® model will be installed as a standalone packaging solution on the customer’s site, it is also designed for easy integration into automated production lines. It can handle rolls of varying sizes without the need for manual intervention, supporting flexible and efficient packaging operations.

At JACKON Insulation by BEWI’s newly inaugurated production facility in Olen, Belgium, a RoRo StretchPack® XL packaging machine has been installed. This advanced packaging machine plays a vital role in the new production line, ensuring that XPS construction boards are delivered to construction sites in optimal condition.
JACKON Insulation by BEWI has already experienced the benefits of the RoRo StretchPack® technology with another machine, which consistently meet their high standards for performance and reliability. The success of this installation has led JACKON Insulation by BEWI to invest in a second RoRo StretchPack® machine for their new site in Belgium.
The new RoRo StretchPack® XL machine is used for packaging XPS construction boards stacked on pallets. The stacked XPS boards, including the pallet, are wrapped horizontally in a stretch hood film. The stretch hood film is welded at both ends during packaging, providing six-sided, waterproof protection. This ensures the high quality and performance of the XPS boards, keeping them dry and intact during transport and storage.
The decision to invest in RoRo StretchPack® technology aligns with JACKON Insulation by BEWI’s commitment to delivering high-quality construction boards. With the RoRo StretchPack® solution, their XPS construction boards are well protected against external contamination.
“We are thrilled that JACKON Insulation by BEWI has chosen Tentoma once again for their packaging needs,” said Troels B. Mathiesen, CEO of Tentoma A/S. “Their continued trust in our RoRo StretchPack® technology underscores the reliability and efficiency of our solutions. We are proud to support JACKON Insulation by BEWI and their commitment to delivering top-quality insulation products.”
This is a video of a test packaging of foam rubber using the RoRo StretchPack® packaging machine requested by a system integrator. Foam rubber, also known as cellular rubber or expanded rubber, contains a high percentage of air, making it lightweight and flexible. So, it makes sense to use a RoRo StretchPack® packaging machine for packaging foam rubber, as the tubular stretch hood film will adapt to the shape of the foam rubber during the packaging process.
In the packaging process, the foam rubber is packed into a tubular stretch hood film, which is welded at both ends for 100% waterproof sealing. The packaging film fits closely to the roll, allowing for branding on the packaging film to appear nicely. The RoRo StretchPack® packaging machine can be integrated into an automated production line or used as a stand-alone solution. It accommodates different product sizes, whether packed randomly or in batches, and the packaging capacity aligns with the production line.
The final packaging will be tight, smooth, and waterproof. It is possible to make the packaging even tighter and keep the foam rubber even more compressed after packaging, beyond what you see in the video of the test packaging. Achieving this requires a RoRo StretchPack® packaging solution where the infeed device is designed to hold a compressed product and film with the required specifications.
With a RoRo StretchPack® packaging machine, it is possible to automate and achieve high-quality fully sealed packaging of sandwich panels for walls and roofing.
In this video, you’ll see a RoRo StretchPack® packaging machine in action as it effortlessly packs sandwich panels into a tubular stretch film. During the packaging process, the film ends are sealed for full waterproofness. Watch as both pyramid-stacked and up-to-6-meter-long sandwich panels are packaged and sealed in just one operation.
Correct packaging is essential to maintaining the quality of insulation and sandwich panels after they arrive at the construction site. On the construction site, the panels are most often stored outdoors. The longer it takes before the panels are installed, the greater the risk of water ingress into the insulation material inside the panels. Moisture in the insulation can reduce the panel’s insulating ability and pose the risk of fungal damage in the construction. That’s why sealed and waterproof packaging is essential to maintain the quality of the sandwich panels until installation.
