🔴 Lachenmeier Multi FleX1 Machine This is an advanced automatic system designed for packaging pallets using Stretch Hooding technology. Manufactured by Lachenmeier (part of the global Signode group), this machine is considered a leading solution in the final packaging sector for production lines. 🔴 Its mechanism and key features: 1. Main Components - Electrical Control Panel: The large white box at the front left, containing the electrical systems and the PLC that manages the entire machine's movement. - Main Machine Body (Multi FleX1): The massive structure in the center that holds the plastic rolls, feeding system, and film cutters. - Roller Conveyor: The iron track with rollers at the bottom, used to transport loaded pallets into the machine for packaging and then out. - Safety Fencing: The iron mesh surrounding the machine to protect workers and prevent entry into the moving area during automatic operation. 🔺 Mechanism of Operation (How does the machine work?) The machine relies on cold compression or Stretch Hood technology. The process is as follows: * Load Entry: The pallet loaded with goods (cartons, cement bags, building materials, etc.) is transported via the conveyor belt to the center of the machine. * Dimension Measurement: The machine automatically scans the dimensions and size of the load. * Hood Preparation: Plastic film is pulled from the upper roll, cut, and sealed at the top to form a "bag or hood." * Stretching and Application: Four machine arms (Grippers) open the plastic bag and stretch it from the four corners. The machine then lowers to cover the entire load from top to bottom. * Shrinkage and Stability: Once the plastic is released, it naturally shrinks tightly around the goods, securing them without the need for heat. 🔴 Key Features of the Multi FleX1 Machine * High Flexibility: The machine can handle various pallet sizes on the same production line (from 400x400 mm to 1400x1400 mm). * High and Fast Productivity: Its production capacity reaches 200 to 250 pallets per hour. * 5-Sided Protection: The plastic hood provides complete protection for products from dust, rain, humidity, and UV rays, making it ideal for outdoor storage. * Material and Energy Savings: It consumes less plastic and energy compared to heat-shrink wrapping systems or manual stretch wrapping. * Corner Protection Patent: The machine features a system that maintains 30% more plastic thickness at the pallet corners than other machines to prevent cover tearing. * Easy Maintenance: The upper part of the machine can be lowered to ground level for safe and easy maintenance and plastic roll changes. 🔴 The machine is in very good condition.
