In a method for pre-stretching a stretch film (1), the film (1) is caused to run on two means (3, 4), of which the front means (4) as seen in the direction of feed of the film (1) is a draw means and the rear means (3) as seen in the direction of feed of the film (1) is a brake means (3). A parameter, which is dependent on the tensile force (P) generated by the two means (3, 4) in the portion (11, 12) of the stretch film (1) that is located between said means (3, 4), is measured, and the measured value thus obtained is used to control the action of the front and rear means (3, 4) on the film (1) in such manner that said tensile force (P) is kept within a predetermined range (I). A device for pre-stretching a stretch film comprises, in addition to a draw means (4) and a brake means (3) of the type mentioned above, a measuring device (7) for measuring the above parameter as well as control means (20) for controlling the action of the draw means (4) and the brake means (3) on the film (1). <IMAGE> |
