MACHINE FOR AUTOMATICALLY REMOVING PLASTIC WRAPPING FROM PALLETIZED LOADS

摘要

The invention concerns a machine capable of automatically cutting and removing normal plastic wrapping from palletized loads. The machine comprises a supporting structure (1, 2) for a vertically movable frame (3) provided with means (4) for horizontally and/or vertically cutting the plastic wrapping (9) of palletized loads (5). The horizontal cutting means (4) consist of a set of hot wire cutting members (4a) angularly reciprocating on respective carriages (18) which move on said frame (3), to the side of the wrapping (9). Two lateral cutting members (4b) subsequently make vertical cuts on the wrapping, whilst gripping members (34) remove the cut portions of the wrapping (9) and let them drop into collection boxes (7).
