Wrapping machine and method for wrapping a wrapping film around an object

摘要

A wrapping machine has a film dispensing unit ( 1 ), which includes first supporting elements ( 2 ) and first deflecting elements ( 5 ¹ . . . 5 ¹⁰) for a first wrapping film ( 4 ) and second supporting elements ( 6 ) and a second deflecting element ( 9 ) for a second wrapping film ( 8 ). The second deflecting element ( 9 ) is movable between a first position (I) and a second position (II) by an actuator ( 10 ). In the first position (I), the end of the second wrapping film ( 8 ) is in contact with the first wrapping film ( 4 ) to cause the wrapping films to adhere to each other during the wrapping process. In the second position (II), the second deflecting element ( 9 ) is at a distance from the first wrapping film ( 4 ) so that the second wrapping film ( 9 ) is clear of contact with and adhesion to the first wrapping film ( 4 ).
