Abstract: The invention relates to a method, to an application head (1), and to a packaging device for producing strapped packages, each of which is made of at least two grouped articles that are held together by means of at least one strapping band. The method has at least the following steps: providing the at least two grouped articles, which are positioned in a movement and/or handling area of an application head (1); and inserting at least one prefabricated closed strapping band into the application head (1), in which the strapping band is fixed in a defined position. The application head (1) has a variable opening width of a cage (50) which can surround the outer surface of the grouped articles. The application head (1) equipped with the at least one strapping band is then lowered over the articles by means of a feed movement which runs approximately parallel to longitudinal central axes of the articles, wherein the cage (50) of the application head (1) contacts the grouped articles on the outer surface thereof and at least slightly compresses the grouped articles. The strapping band is then positioned at a provided position of the articles by lowering the application head (1), which is simultaneously compressing the articles, in a defined manner. The opening width of the cage (50) of the application head (1) is then increased while the at least one strapping band is simultaneously released and removed from its fixed position within the application head (1) and the application head (1) is raised over the strapped article grouping and is removed therefrom.

Abstract: A device (1) for applying packaging film to groups of articles (12) is disclosed. The device (1) comprises a horizontal conveyor (5) for transporting groups of articles (12) and a feed apparatus which is designed to introduce pieces of cut packaging film (14) into a transport path of the groups of articles (12) transported by the at least one horizontal conveyor (5). Furthermore, a plurality of wrapping rods (30) are provided, which are moved in a rotary fashion such that they take up a remaining free portion (17) of the piece of cut packaging film (14) and guide it around the group of articles (12) each time. A flow generating apparatus (40) is provided which is designed to generate at least one air volume flow, via which a remaining free portion (17) of the piece of cut packaging film (14) which has already been taken up by a wrapping rod (30) can be blown toward the group of articles (12) each time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, to an application device (40), and to a packaging device for producing packaging units (13). Each of the packaging units (13) is made of at least two grouped articles (10) which are held together by means of at least one strapping band (15) and by means of at least one packaging blank (60). The method has at least the following steps: providing the articles (10) in a movement and/or handling area of an application head (1); inserting a closed strapping band (15) and a prepared packaging blank (60) into the application head (1); feeding the application head (1) equipped with the at least one strapping band (15) and the at least one packaging blank (60) to the articles (10), said grouped articles (10) being at least slightly compressed; positioning the strapping band (15); securing the packaging blank (60) to the articles (10); opening the application head (1) while simultaneously releasing and separating the at least one strapping band (15) from the fixed position of the strapping band within the application head (1); releasing and separating the at least one packaging blank (60); and removing the application head (1) from the strapped article grouping (12) combined by a packaging blank (60).
