摘要 |
The invention relates to a method for packaging palletised loads, consisting, in a first stage, in covering the palletised loads with thermoplastic covers whose upper edges are then folded over on the top of the palletised load and, in a second stage, in heating the cover in order to cause it to shrink. According to the present invention, the folding over of the covers is produced by means of a flow of air capable of sucking the ends of the cover towards the central part of the top of the palletised load, and the fastening of these ends is performed by heat-sealing, these two operations being automated. The device, which is intended to be installed above a covering chain conveyor, comprises a hood 1 equipped with a fan 2 capable of sucking in this hood and whose base 1a is equipped with electrical resistance elements 3. <IMAGE>
