Method and apparatus for tying bundles with baleband made of paper pulp fibers and water-soluble adhesive. The machine is positioned transverse to a conveyor upon which bundles are moved into position for tying. The machine includes a track for guiding the baleband around the bundle, applying water to the forward end of the baleband, clamping the forward end of the bale band, tightening the baleband around the bundle, pressing the forward end against an overlapped portion of the baleband while heating the end of the baleband to seal the ends together, pressing the ends together and cutting the overlapped portion of the baleband and releasing the bundle for unloading from the conveyor. |
