METHOD OF AND APPARATUS FOR REMOVING TYING BAND

摘要

A portion of an endless tying band (B) around a package (A) is displaced from the package (A) thus defining a space between the portion of the tying band (B) and the package (A). Then, a guide plate (24) is inserted into the space, and the tying band (B) is pressed by a guide roll (21) against the guide plate (24) to grip the tying band (B) between the guide plate (24) and the guide roll (21). The tying band (B) which is gripped between the guide plate (24) and the guide roll (21) is then severed by a cutter blade (28). The guide roll (21) is rotated to deliver an end of the severed tying band (B) for thereby removing the severed tying band (B) from the package.
