Lachenmeier (lachenmeier.com), a leading manufacturer of stretch hood equipment, film and shrink wrapping machines, is exhibiting at the 2014 TAPPI/AICC Corrugated Week Show in Long Beach, CA at Booth #451. The company will showcase its patent pending Xeros® stretch hood film. Ideal for wrapping corrugated produce boxes, Xeros optimally protects products from the outdoor elements and prevents condensation from forming inside the bag. In addition, Lachenmeier will highlight its patented application system that helps manufacturers optimally protect pallet loads while simultaneously reducing film usage 10-25%.

“With the increased market demands on food safety, agricultural processing companies and growers request produce boxes are wrapped in stretch bags that eliminate the risk for condensation to form which could result in mold and other related food safety hazards,” says Thomas Petersen, global sales director, Lachenmeier. “Xeros is the first film of its kind to offer complete, 10-sided protection- keeping both the inside and outside layers of the load free from condensation, dust and other contaminates from entering.”
