Abstract (en)
Products (P) such as stacks of pallettized articles are packaged using hoods (C) of a film material, preferably of the shrinkable type. Hoods (C) formed in a forming station (3) provided in the lower portion of the machine are picked-up by means of a pick-up structure (6) which expand them by arranging the respective bottom portion (C2) abutting against the product (P) to be packaged. The hood so expanded is subsequently advanced over the product (P) thereby causing, due to the bottom portion (C2) abutting against the product (P) itself, the hood to become gradually turned inside-out hood and applied onto the product (P) itself. The machine is adapted for use also in applying hoods having an open tubular structure. <IMAGE>
