1 Intended use
Use
The packaging system comprising the BEUMER stretch hood® prepares stretch
hoods which are pulled over palletised load units for the purpose of securing
loads. The stretch hoods are formed from a gusseted film tube. The palletised
load units are transported by roller conveyors and/or chain conveyors. Using the
packaging system for other purposes than those mentioned above is considered
as unauthorised use.
Operate the machine/system only in technically perfect working order in accordance with its intended use. The safe operation requires awareness of possible
risks and observing the operating instructions. Eliminate immediately any functional disorders, especially those affecting safety!
As regards the electromagnetic compatibility, the machine/system has been
designed for the use in industrial environment. If the machine/system is used in
other environments, a special permit issued by the relevant authorities of the
country of use is required.
An intended use also involves observing the operating instructions. Special attention is to be paid to the inspection and maintenance instructions.

also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices and valves as
well as to welding work on load-bearing elements.
According to the level of hazards involved when operating the machine/system,
three different areas are distinguished. Only persons authorised by the owner
have access to the individual areas.
The access area, which is defined by the manufacturer, may be entered or
reached by any persons without opening guards, activating protective devices
with sensors or using additional tools.
The working area, which is defined by the manufacturer, is the area where persons work on the machine/system or operate it in normal operation (inspection,
maintenance and cleaning are excluded).
The maintenance area, which is defined by the manufacturer, may only be entered by authorised personnel for carrying out maintenance work. Since health
and safety of the personnel are at risk in this area, it may be entered only if the
machine/system is switched off and secured against unintentional re-start.

Pneumatic cylinders are provided with a basic lubrication in the workshop.
Therefore, the cylinders can be used with either oiled compressed air (0.5 to 5
drops of oil / 1000 litres of air) or oil-free compressed air.
Once used with oiled compressed air, the cylinders should always be used with
oiled compressed air (oil content > 10 mg/m³, about 5 drops of oil / 1000 litres o
air). Oiled compressed air eliminates the basic lubrication.

1. The stretch hood is opened and transferred to the crimping device.
2. The stretch hood is evenly crimped, sealed and cut to the length required.
3. The film hood is stretched.The degree of stretch depends on stack dimen-
sions, film elasticity and film dimensions.
4. The film is stretched in vertical direction while the crimping bows are lowered.
5. The stack is lifted and the understretch is formed.

6 Gripper arms
7 Film grippers
The hood applicator head prepares the gusseted film tube for the stretch hood
formation. The subassemblies for the individual working sequences are integrated into the frame of the hood applicator head.
The film tensioners stretch the gusseted film tube. For this, the four side fold
clamps take the gusseted film tube at its edges, and the film tensioners move
apart. The film grippers of the four gripper arms grip the gusseted film tube. The
gripper arms swivel downwards, thus opening the gusseted film tube. The side
fold guiding plates help to open the gussets. The side fold pins hold the gussets
while the gusseted film tube is stretched and sealed.
The two sealing rails and the knife are mounted on the sealing bar. The sealing
rails seal the open gusseted film tube into a film hood closed at the top. Then the
knife cuts the film hood off the gusseted film tube.
After the film has been cut, the film retriever pulls the gusseted film tube back
into a defined position. The film brake prevents the cut gusseted film tube from

slipping out of the hood applicator head. The film length measuring device determines the released length of the gusseted film tube.
The individual components are driven pneumatically or by an electric motor.
When a new gusseted film tube is to be inserted in the hood applicator head, the
film brake on the hood applicator head can be activated manually.
Hoist with stretch frame

1 Hoist
2 Stretch frame
3 Crimping and stretching unit
The hoist is part of the supporting structure for the hood applicator head and the
platform. A drive motor with countershaft and chain drive for lifting and lowering
the stretch frame is fastened to the hoist. The hoist is equipped with a pneumatic
hoist safety device. This safety device secures the hoist during maintenance
work.
The stretch frame is fastened to the hoist chains. The stretch frame is moved
vertically in the hoist. The four crimping and stretching units are fastened to the
stretch frame.
For crimping the film hood, the crimping motors approach the crimping bows and
then the film is pulled over the bows. The length of the film to be crimped is determined by the film length measuring device in the hood applicator head.
Technical description
BA-6090103-EN
19.08.09
After the film hood has been prepared, its upper part is crimped as well. Then
the crimping bow supports are moved to the stretch position. In this position the
film hood is pulled over the load.
A diffuse scan on each crimping bow support detects whether the film has torn
apart during stretching or pulling over the film hood. Besides, there must not be
any film on one of the crimping bows any more when the stretch frame is raised.
If the film tears apart or if it is still on one of the crimping bows during raising, the
malfunction "film tear" is indicated. The system is automatically switched off and
the corresponding fault message is displayed on the control terminal.
The four touch-down switches under the crimping bows are used as safety
switches. They prevent the crimping bows from landing on an obstacle during
the lowering process.

The maintenance platform is positioned above the hoist. The hood applicator
head is mounted on the platform. The hood applicator head is reached by stairs.
A safety photocell monitors the access. The film releasing trestle is mounted on
the side where the hoist is located.
The film roll is supported in the film releasing trestle. Film is released from the
film roll as long as the film monitoring switch remains activated or until the
maximum operating time of the drive has run out. The film roll drive is switched
on and off by the film monitoring switch. As soon as the end of the film is
reached, the film monitoring switch transmits a signal to the control.
