(54) | Wrapping apparatus for wrapping a palletised load with thin coating band |
(57) The wrapping apparatus is used to wrap a palletised load (20) with a thin coating
band (12) and comprises at least one wrapping terminal (11) for carrying out the wrapping
through the coating band (12) wound with tension on the side walls of the load, and
a rotating support base (30), motorised by a motor (32), on which said palletised
load (20) is rested acting in combination with the action of the wrapping terminal
(11). The apparatus is characterised in that it comprises a presser device (40) having:
a rotating member (41) suitable for being made integral with the upper end (21) of
the palletised load (20); means for making the rotating member (41) integral with
the upper end (21) of the load (20); moving means suitable for making the rotating
member (41) rotate about a rotation axis (42) substantially coinciding with the rotation
axis (31) of the rotating support base (30), in synchrony with it. |
