Abstract:
The apparatus for a machine for wrapping usually palletized loads with an extendable pre-stretched film, provided with any electric-motor drive means which are able to ensure relative rotation, at the correct speed, of the load to be wrapped (Z) and the reel (B) of wrapping film and are able to ensure a correct speed of rotation of the p re-stretching rollers (C) so as to supply a quantity of pre-stretched film depending on the said relative speed of rotation, is such that these machines may dispense with the usual jockey wheel with proportional sensor (P) located downstream of the said pre-stretching rollers (C) for effecting variations in the quantity of film supplied by the said pre-stretching rollers depending on the variations in the geometrical form and/or off-centre arrangement of the load to be wrapped (Z), since this function may be performed by a central electronic processing unit (3) equipped with an extension and software (103) which take into account the information supplied by the said encoder (2) and which are connected to means such that they from time to time may be configured with the variables relating to the three- dimensional parameters and the at least plan-view form of the load to be wrapped and the deformability and lateral thrust resistance and/or compression characteristics of the said load and therefore the tension with which the film may wrap the said load. During wrapping the said drive means may be actuated in synchronism via synchronized connection of the associated electric motors which are designed for this type of operation.
Abstract:
The apparatus for wrapping products with a film made of extensible material comprisesa supply unit (11) having a first spool (12) of extensible material film, a rotation device (3) suitable to produce a relative rotation of said supply unit (11) with respect to the products to wrap, and a shifting device (9) suitableto shift said supply unit (11)with respect to the said products to wrap. The apparatus comprises an auxiliary supply unit (21), associated with said supply unit (11), which has a second spool (22) of extensible material film, axially movable with respect to said supply unit (11) in order to increase, during the wrapping phase, the wideness of the band of extensible material unrolled around the said products.
Abstract:
Method and apparatus for fixing the tail end of the film for wrapping palletized loads, supplied by a reel (B), envisages the following working steps: a) Positioning along the side of the load and parallel thereto a straight member (1) and transversely extending over it a section of a penultimate turn (S) of the wrapping film so as to form a vertically open pocket (Z) between this turn and the wrapped load; b) Moving an edge of the film portion of the said penultimate turn which touches the said straight member towards the other edge of the said turn so as to free space on the said straight member (1); c) Extending over the free space of said straight member (1) a section of a last turn (Sl) of the wrapping film,- d) The part of the said last turn (Sl) situated on the said straight member is moved away from the said penultimate turn (S), is made to pass over the said straight member (1) and is inserted and pulled into the said pocket (Z), remaining temporarily connected to the said distributor with the reel (B); e) The part of the said penultimate turn situated on the said straight member (1) is made to pass over this member, coming out from the same end from where the tail end came out, so as to close the said pocket.
Abstract:
Vertical or horizontal axis ring machine, for wrapping usually palletized loads with extendable film, of the type in which the rotating ring (5) carries, mounted thereon, the reel (23) of wrapping film and at least one pair of rubber-lined and motor-driven 5 rollers (13, 113) for pre-stretching the film unwound from the reel and to be fed to the load to be wrapped, characterized in that the said pre-stretching rollers are actuated by a kinematic chain which is supported rotatably by the said ring (5), which projects from the side of the ring opposite to that from where the said pre-stretching rollers and the reel project and which is designed to be actuated by a motor unit which is 10 situated statically on the frame (2) which rotatably supports the said ring (5) and which acts in phase synchronism with the motor (9) actuating this ring.
Abstract:
The apparatus for winding products with a film of winding material, for example with a tape or extendable material, comprises a base (2) supported by wheels (3, 4), a guide column (5) fixed to the base (1 ), a carriage (6) configured to hold a reel (7) for feeding the winding material, sliding along the column (5), a push handle (8) for pushing the base (1 ) so as to cause its winding with the winding material fed by the reel (7). The apparatus also comprises a transmission unit (10) connected to at least one (3) of the wheels (3, 4) and configured to change its motion around a respective axis of rotation into a sliding motion of the carriage (6) along the column (5).
