Method and machine for wrapping the side face and one end face of a load

摘要

A machine for wrapping the sides and one end face of a palletized load is provided with a rotatable load support means and a pivoting axis reel of film which is capable of vertical movement in a plane parallel to the vertical sides of the load as well as rotation about a second axis perpendicular to the side face of the load. The load is wrapped by attaching a terminal end of the plastic film near the bottom edge of the load and rotating the load while the film reel moves vertically and pivots about an axis perpendicular to the vertical side faces of the load until the sides and top face of the load are wrapped.
