automatically. The individual working steps are shown in the diagram.

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.
