Automatic peripheral wrapping machine for rolls of material in strips such as cloth.

摘要

A packaging machine (10) for peripheral winding of a tape (19) around a roll (13) of strip material comprises rollers (11,12) for controlled rotation of the roll. An arm (17) moves around a pivot to position a packaging unit (28) near the periphery of the roll (13). Said packaging unit delivers the tape (19) on the end section (25) of the strip being rolled up, said end being thus taken at least partly from the last turn of material. Rotation of the roll continues to complete winding of the material and simultaneously wrap the tape peripherally on the roll until it overlaps itself. The packaging unit (28) comprises a head (21) which fixes together the overlapping parts of the tape and cuts it upstream from the fixing zone to supply the packaged roll. <IMAGE>
