1. Method of forming batches of objects and for banding these batches, in which batches of objects are made up, the objects of which these batches are constituted being drawn tightly against one another, the objects forming one batch being banded in a banding or hooping station and then being withdrawn from the said station, characterised in that the following sequence of operations are performed : - the routing of the objects, separately or partially grouped, towards a collecting and banding area where they are collected together in one layer, the objects being laterally in contact with one another, during this stage the frame of the banding apparatus being in a 'stand-by' position in which it does not interfere with the flow of the objects ; - the positioning of the frame of the banding apparatus in such a way that it completely encircles the batch formed and maintained on the said area, the banding frame in this position representing an obstacle to the flow of additional objects onto the collecting and banding area ; - the banding of the batch of objects and its removal from the collecting and banding area, and - positioning of the banding frame on 'stand-by' for a fresh sequence of operation. |
