This relates to an encapsulating method and a cylindrical sleeve device for storing a hollow roller cover particularly when the material of the cover is covered with material in an unset condition. This encapsulating method comprises using the hollow interior cylindrical portion of a hollow roller cover, an oversized plastic bag, inserting the excess plastic bag into one end of the hollow roller cover, then inserting the inner reduced diameter cylindrical sleeve devise which encloses the hollow roller cover by wedging the excess of plastic of the oversized plastic bag between the inner hollow roller cover and the outer sides of the cylindrical sleeve devise, hermetically sealing the hollow roller cover creating an air tight enclosure to form an unconventional cylindrical container allowing for temporarily storing and re-use of the roller cover.

A robot system and a method for packaging coils of sheet metal is provided. The method and robot system for coil packaging, having two industrial robots, each robot being provided with a robot arm provides for a solution where the direction of travel along the envelope surface of the coil is inclined relative the rotational axis of the coil, positioning of the roll of wrapping material in three-dimensional along the circumferential edge may be adjusted for each pass and/or where the positioning of the longitudinal axis of the roll or wrapping material is in an inclined angular direction relative the direction of rotation.

An automatic bagging machine contains: a delivery mechanism, a film transporting mechanism, an ultrasonic cutting mechanism, an electric eye mechanism, a limiting assembly, a clamping mechanism, an air tube assembly, and a pushing mechanism. The delivery mechanism includes a conveying belt and plural fixing mounts on which plural spinning bobbins are fitted. The film transporting mechanism includes two carrying sets, each having a holder on which a film material is fitted. The ultrasonic cutting mechanism includes two cutting sets, two slide rails, two first power motors, and two film cutting sets. The electric eye mechanism includes two support posts, the limiting assembly includes a circular ring and an affix mount, the clamping mechanism includes a clamp portion, a crank shaft, and a second power motor. The air tube assembly includes a first air tube and a second air tube. The pushing mechanism includes a rolling assembly and a transmission assembly.

Packaging for a wheel 10 is provided that has a cylindrical rim 11 and first and second cylindrical flanges 12, 13 extending from opposite axial ends of the rim 11. The packaging comprising first and second sleeves 22, 44 in which the first sleeve 22 extends about the rim 11 and bears against a facing surface of the first flange 12 and the second sleeve 44 extends about the rim 11 and extends through the first sleeve 22, extending past the first flange 12 to form a support surface 66 spaced from the first flange 12. A method of packaging a wheel and a bulk package for shipping is also provided.
