(57) An automated plant for the formation, pressing, binding and handling of coiled packings
(bumps) of ribbon (or rove) of combed fibres, or the like, delivered by the coiler
of a special machine (1), comprises in combination: at least a pair of containers
(9,20) made up only of cylindrical walls (9) with a bottom plane of platform (20)
capable of being raised and lowered, equal to each other; at the position in which
a container is filled with coiled material, means (29,30) for the lifting and lowering
of the container bottom platform (20) and for causing it to rotate in concomitance
with the lowering; means (17) for simultaneously operating the change-over of a filled
container (9,20) from the filling position (R) to the pressing position (P), and of
the other already empty container (9,20) from the pressing position (P) to the filling
position (R); a press (3) comprising means (41,45) for lifting said bottom (20) to
determine the pressing against and in collaboration with an upper plate or dish (49)
of the press (3) and for the successive lifting of the material from the cylindrical
wall (9) of the container; on the press, means (47) for the vertical displacements
of the upper dish (49) as well as means (50,53) for the binding of the material
maintened in pressing condition and means (43,45,46) for the rotation thereof for
successive bindings; and, furthe more, means (33) for withdrawing the bound material
from the press and puttin it below a gripping, lifting and transfer equipment (65)
which places it into a multiseat carriage container (70).
