Nipper STRONGHOOD Stretch Hood System
The Nipper STRONGHOOD is a fully motorised stretch hooding system engineered to provide exceptional pallet stability, weather protection and packaging efficiency for a wide range of palletised products.
Designed for demanding manufacturing environments, the STRONGHOOD combines intelligent motorised film control with advanced stretch hood technology to deliver consistent horizontal and vertical load stabilisation whilst reducing film consumption. Suitable for both standalone installations and fully automated end-of-line packaging lines, the system can accommodate varying pallet sizes, heights and product formats without compromising packaging quality.
Previously supplied as the Dino Flex Stretch Hooder, the latest Nipper STRONGHOOD incorporates enhanced motorised control, improved operational efficiency and support for recyclable PE stretch films containing up to 30% recycled material.
Product Flexibility
The Nipper STRONGHOOD has been designed to accommodate changing production requirements without the need for multiple packaging systems.
Suitable for manufacturers handling different pallet dimensions, product formats and load heights, the machine automatically adapts to varying product sizes whilst maintaining consistent film application and excellent load stability.
Available in multiple machine configurations, the STRONGHOOD can accommodate pallet heights up to 3000mm and is suitable for integration into both new and existing automated packaging lines.
This flexibility makes the system particularly well suited to manufacturers operating multiple production lines or introducing new products over time.
