Abstract: An unwinding apparatus has first and second pre-stretching rollers and a motion transmission system for transmitting a rotation motion from the first pre-stretching roller to the second pre-stretching roller. The motion transmission system has two toothed driving wheels rotated by the first pre-stretching roller, two toothed driven wheels selectively couplable to the second pre-stretching roller, and a selector device operable to couple a toothed driven wheel to the second pre-stretching roller. The selector device has a driven shaft provided with a longitudinal internal cavity having first and second lateral through openings suitable for housing respective locking elements. A selector pin provided with first and second transverse protrusions is movable inside the internal cavity between a first operative position, in which a first toothed driven wheel is coupled to the driven shaft, and a second operative position, in which a second toothed driven wheel is coupled to the driven shaft.

Abstract: A bagmaking and packaging apparatus includes a film conveyance mechanism, a former mechanism, a transverse sealing mechanism, and a first partition member. The film conveyance mechanism conveys a film. The former mechanism includes a product feed chute and a former. The product feed chute has a product fed to it. The former forms in a tubular shape the film conveyed by the film conveyance mechanism. The transverse sealing mechanism is disposed under the former mechanism. The transverse sealing mechanism transversely seals the tubular film to make bags containing the product fed from the product feed chute. The first partition member partitions a space around the former mechanism into a first space and a second space. The first space is on the product feed chute side. The second space is on the transverse sealing mechanism side.

Abstract: System for heat shrink sealing open-topped containers wherein the system includes a housing or enclosure wherein a majority of a bulk roll of film material is accessible when the cover is open. The system preferably includes two opposing rollers that are configured to engage the film and cause it to move to a dispensing position. In a preferred aspect, the system includes a movable sealing unit that accommodates use of the lidding system with open ended containers having various sizes and shapes. In a more preferred aspect, the system includes an indicia generating device operable to label sealed containers and a knife that generates a perforation in the film during sealing operations.
