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: A packaging device (1) for producing packs each comprising several articles is disclosed. The packaging device (1) comprises at least one horizontal conveying device and at least one manipulator (25, 35). Article groups are moved via the at least one horizontal conveying device into a working area (AP1, AP2) of the at least one manipulator (25, 35). The at least one manipulator (25, 35) is designed to combine respective articles of a respective article group, which are moved into its working area (AP1, AP2) via the at least one horizontal conveying device, and for this purpose can apply at least one packaging material (40) to the respective article group.
Furthermore, the packaging device (1) comprises at least one supporting beam and/or pushing beam provided for rear-side contact with a respective article group, which at least one supporting beam and/or pushing beam provided for rear-side contact with a respective article group is guided along a preferably circulating movement path, which preferably circulating movement path runs through the working area (AP1, AP2) of the at least one manipulator (25, 35).
