The invention relates to an apparatus for applying a banderole around one or a plurality of products, which banding machine is provided with a feeding mechanism for band material (1), with a conveyor belt (20) extending at least partly around a product space in which the product or products are contained, and including and cooperating with holding means for causing the band material to adhere to the conveyor belt so that , when in operation, the band material supplied is taken around the product space such as to form a loop of band material around the product space, with cutting means for cutting a portion of the band material applied around the product or the products, and with sealing means for sealing the loop of band material surrounding the product or products, wherein means are provided for generating electrostatic attraction between the band material being supplied and the conveyor unit. The conveyor unit is connected to earth potential, and an electrode connected to a high voltage is positioned in the vicinity of the trajectory to be followed by the band material. |
