Building Materials Packaging Line Solutions
End-of-line packaging built for long, wide and heavy boards, panels and profiles. SunAura’s integrated stacking, dunnage feeding, strapping and six-sided horizontal wrapping system turns freshly cut building materials into dust-proof, moisture-barrier, forklift-ready packs — straight from the production line to the warehouse.

Boards or profiles leave the cutting or press line and enter a fully automated end-of-line sequence. Stacking, dunnage placement, strapping and wrapping happen without manual intervention — operators only monitor the touchscreen and move finished packs by forklift.
Board / Panel Infeed
Freshly cut boards enter by roller conveyor
Automatic Stacking
Sheets counted and stacked to set height
Dunnage Auto Feeding
Timber / block supports inserted top and bottom
Strapping Machine
PET or steel bands lock the stack together
Six-Sided Wrapping
Horizontal wrapper seals all six faces
Forklift to Warehouse
Packed stacks ready for dispatch
Core Equipment on the Line
Each machine is manufactured in-house and matched to the next by the same engineering team, so mechanical interfaces, electrical signals and line speed are tuned as one system rather than pieced together from third-party vendors.
Automatic Stacker
Counts incoming boards by photocell, accumulates them layer by layer, and releases a complete stack at the programmed height — suction-cup or pitch-over discharge depending on board weight and surface finish.
View Stacking Equipment →Dunnage / Block Feeding System
Automatically places timber slats or plastic support blocks under and on top of each stack. Prevents board-to-board friction during transport and gives the forklift forks a clean entry point.
View Conveying Equipment →Strapping Machine
Applies horizontal PET or steel straps at adjustable spacing to lock the stack before wrapping. Tension and seal time are set on the HMI and recalled by recipe.
View Strapping Machines →Horizontal Wrapping Machine (Six-Sided)
A rotating ring travels around the long stack and spirals stretch film over all six faces — sealing out dust, moisture and rain during outdoor storage and sea freight. No film tail left on the product.
View Stretch Wrapping Machines →Conveyor System
Roller, chain and belt conveyors sized for 6 m boards. Up-down and cross-transfer sections move stacks between machines without lifting equipment.

Typical configuration for a 6 m building-materials line. Every parameter is adjusted during engineering design to match your product dimensions, shift pattern and floor space.
| Building Materials Packaging Line — Typical Range | |
|---|---|
| Panel length | Up to 6,000 mm |
| Panel width | Up to 1,250 mm |
| Stack height | Up to 1,200 mm |
| Line capacity | 5–15 stacks / hour |
| Equipment count | 5–7 units (stacker, dunnage feeder, strapper, horizontal wrapper, conveyors) |
| Footprint | Approx. 18 × 6 m |
| Power supply | 380V / 50 Hz three-phase, approx. 30 kW |

Specifications are indicative. Final dimensions and capacity are confirmed after review of your product drawings, throughput target and factory layout.
Why This Line Fits Building Materials
Six-Sided Moisture & Dust Protection
The horizontal ring wrapper films the top, bottom and four sides of every stack. MDF, gypsum and insulation boards leave the plant sealed against rain, humidity and warehouse dust — a real problem once product sits in port or on a job site.
Automatic Dunnage Insertion
No worker kneeling on the floor sliding timber blocks under stacks. The feeder places support blocks to position every cycle, reducing injury risk and keeping pack height consistent for stable truck loading.
Long-Format Handling Built In
Conveyors, stacker and wrapper are engineered around 6 m boards from day one — not a standard pallet wrapper stretched to accept long product. Guide rails and photoeyes track the full length without side drift.
Less Packaging Material Waste
Film pre-stretch and programmable wrap count cut stretch-film consumption versus hand wrapping. Strapping tension is recipe-controlled, so operators don’t over-band or under-band by feel.
Products This Line Handles
MDF / HDF Boards
Medium- and high-density fiberboard panels — sensitive to edge chipping and moisture, so the six-sided film wrap and corner dunnage pay off immediately.
Plywood Panels
CDX, commercial and film-faced plywood stacks that move by sea freight. Strapping locks the veneer layers; film seals out humidity during transit.
Gypsum Boards
Plasterboard and drywall panels that crush easily and absorb water. The line handles them flat, inserts support slats and wraps before they leave the plant.
Aluminum Profiles
Long extrusions stacked into bundles. Strapping holds the bundle tight; horizontal film wrap prevents scratches and oxidation during storage.
Insulation Panels
PU, PIR and mineral-wool sandwich panels. Lightweight but bulky — the line stacks them to a stable height and films them against dust and handling damage.
Built to International Standards
CE Marking
Machinery meets EU health & safety directives for export customers.
ISO 9001
Manufactured under a certified quality management system.
SGS Inspection
Third-party factory and product inspection available on request.
12-Month Warranty
Parts and labor covered from commissioning date.
Lifetime Support
Remote diagnostics and spare parts for the machine’s full service life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can the line handle boards longer than 6 meters?
Yes. The standard design covers up to 6,000 mm, but we routinely extend conveyors, stacker beds and the horizontal wrapper arch for 8 m and 10 m boards. Long extrusions and structural profiles fall into the same design envelope. Send us your longest board dimension and we’ll quote the extended configuration.
What happens if we switch between MDF and gypsum board?
The PLC stores a recipe per product: stack height, strap count, wrap count, film tension and dunnage block pattern all change at the touch of a button. Mechanical changeover — guide rails and stacker stops — typically takes 10–15 minutes with two operators.
Does the horizontal wrapper really seal all six sides?
Correct. A rotating ring travels along the length of the stack while dispensing stretch film, spiraling over the top, bottom and both long sides. Combined with the end film tails and top/bottom sheets, the pack is sealed on all six faces against dust and water. Corner boards can be added for heavy ocean freight.
How many operators does the line need?
Typically one operator monitoring the HMI and replenishing film and strapping coils, plus one forklift driver moving finished stacks. The line runs automatically between stack release and forklift pickup — manual labor is limited to material replenishment.
Can you integrate with our existing saw or press line?
Yes. We design the infeed conveyor to mate with your current outfeed, and the PLC handshake (photocell signals, run/stop) is wired to your upstream control system. We work with standard Profinet, Modbus TCP and hardwired I/O interfaces.
