In April 2025, the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission announced the latest batch of high-tech achievement transformation projects, and the automatic cold stretch hood packaging machine (SF-CS) independently developed by KUKO was successfully selected as a municipal key project with its energy-saving, efficient, safe and intelligent technological breakthroughs. As the core product of KUKO in the field of green packaging, this equipment marks the realization of key technology independence in the field of high-end equipment manufacturing and provides a Chinese solution for the global logistics packaging industry.

Technological Breakthrough: Energy Consumption Reduced by 70%, Theft Rate close to Zero

SF-CS Cold Stretch Hooding Machine replaces the traditional heat shrink process with cold stretch film technology and achieves three major innovations:

Zero-energy heating: The physical stretching process is adopted, which does not require a high-temperature furnace body, which reduces the energy consumption by 70% compared with the traditional heat shrinking equipment, and can save high electricity costs for a single production line every year;

Anti-damage and anti-theft: After the top of the film is sealed, it forms an integrated waterproof package. The film must be cut to take out the goods, and the logistics theft rate is close to zero;

Modular compatibility: The double-head design can automatically adapt to pallets of different heights from 1.2 meters to 2.3 meters, and supports the efficient packaging of all kinds of bulk goods such as bottled drinks, furniture, electronic components, etc.

Industry Applications: Full Coverage of Photovoltaic, Logistics, and Home Appliance Fields

At present, SF-CS has served leading enterprises such as CATL and Qilu Paper, covering four major scenarios:

PV module PACK line: Customized moisture-proof and dust-proof solution for CATL, which reduces the breakage rate of module transportation;

Cross-border logistics center: The loading density of single-container cargo is increased, and the shipping cost is reduced;

Home appliance warehousing: Improve the utilization rate of storage space and reduce the consumption of wrapping film annually;

Remote O&M platform: Integrates 5G modules to support equipment failure warning and cloud parameter tuning.

Corporate Responsibility: Annual Carbon Reduction of 20,000 tons, Green Supply Chain

Mr. Feng Haiyun, Chairman of KUKO, said: "We have always practiced the concept of 'hardcover goods', and SF-CS reduces carbon emissions by planting 1.1 million trees every year. The company has passed the EU CE certification, and exported the products to more than 160 countries, providing customized packaging solutions for multinational companies such as Johnson & Johnson and L'Oreal. In 2024, KUKO Machinery was awarded the title of New Star Enterprise for Development Contribution in Songjiang District, Shanghai.
