Record 1 2017-01-06

English

Subject field(s)
  • Packaging Machinery and Equipment
  • Packaging in Plastic
  • Packaging Techniques
DEF

A process in which a package is wrapped in a thermoplastic film which is pulled tightly around the package. The film may be formulated to stick to itself on contact.

OBS

In the packaging industry, pallet stretch wrappers are very often named under more elliptical expressions like "stretch wrapper", "stretch wrapping machine" or "stretch packaging machine", which cannot be given as true synonyms, because this also applies to smaller packages.

OBS

The definition of stretchwrapping has been extracted from the European Union Standard; Packaging machines safety - Terminology and classification of packaging machines and associated equipment; prEn-415.

Domaine(s)
  • Machines et équipement d'emballage
  • Emballages en matières plastiques
  • Techniques d'emballage
OBS

En exploitant les propriétés d'élasticité à froid de certains plastiques (PEbd, PEbdl, PVC, EVA), on parvient à mettre sous film étirable des palettes, des fardeaux ou des lots unitaires. Deux principes essentiels sont mis en œuvre : le banderolage, avec ou sans rotation de la palette, et le drapage d'un colis par rideau. Dans ce domaine, les machines se font de plus en plus nombreuses [...]

OBS

Dans la langue des emballagistes, le terme «palette» comprend généralement la palette et son chargement.

DEF

Machine d'emballage employée pour la mise sous film étirable de charges palettisées, de lots (exemple : les multipacks) ou de fardeaux.

OBS

En exploitant les propriétés d'élasticité à froid de certains plastiques (PEbd, PEbdl, PVC, EVA), on parvient à mettre sous film étirable des palettes, des fardeaux ou des lots unitaires.

OBS

Nous avons délibérément écarté les notions de «banderoleuse» ou «fardeleuse sous film étirable», car la première se rapporte surtout à la palettisation tandis que la seconde s'effectue sur bande transporteuse.
