There is provided a method of producing a packed body that does not fall off and collapse during transportation and does not cause damage to cartons and paper material locally and around which a packing film can be wound easily. A packed body production method includes a first step in which a layered body is formed by stacking cartons containing toilet paper rolls and in which an insertion section into which a fork unit of a forklift is inserted is formed at a predetermined position in the layered body, a second step in which a first packing film is wound spirally around at least side surfaces of the layered body, and a third step in which a second packing film is wound around the layered body so as to close an opening of the insertion section.

There is provided a method for wrapping a load comprising an upper portion defining an upper peripheral surface and a lower portion defining a lower peripheral surface. The method includes configuring a first material dispenser including a first material web in a first starting position and a second material dispenser including a second material web in a second starting position. The method includes and providing a rotation between the load and the material dispensers, such that, upon the rotation, the first material dispenser wraps the upper peripheral surface of the load with the first material web and the second material dispenser wraps the lower peripheral surface of the load with the second material web. The first material dispenser wraps the upper peripheral surface of the load simultaneously while the second material dispenser wraps the lower peripheral surface of the load during at least a portion of a wrapping cycle.

A method for wrapping a load with a film of stretchable plastic material, comprises unwinding a first film of stretchable plastic material from a first reel and at least one second film of stretchable plastic material from a respective second reel; superimposing the at least one second film to the first film so as to form a longitudinal overlapping band of the two films; stretching by a couple of pre-stretching rollers the first film and the at least one second film superimposed along the longitudinal overlapping band with a definite stretching percentage so as to obtain a single composite film formed by the first film and the at least one second film joined and sticking tightly to each other at the overlapping band due to the effect of said stretching; wrapping the load with a plurality of bands of the composite film.

A machine for stabilising palletised loads including an apparatus having a reel of covering tape, a gripping device to take a first end of the tape of the reel and make it integral with the load, a first movement apparatus to generate relative revolution of the apparatus around the load about a predetermined revolution axis, a second movement apparatus to generate relative translation motion of the apparatus with respect to the load in a direction parallel to the revolution direction, a cutting device placed in the apparatus to separate the tape from the reel, and a fixing device to fix a second end of the tape to the load. The apparatus also includes a tensioning fin configured to rotate around an articulation axis parallel to the reel axis and having a rectilinear end border, distal of and extending parallel to the articulation axis and configured to stay in contact with a longitudinal edge of the tape unwinding from the reel, and a spring acting on the fin to push the end border against the longitudinal edge of the tape.

A process and system for manual multi-layer stacking of objects having different dimensions on a load carrier in a predetermined spatial arrangement including determining the spatial arrangement of the objects to be packed according to an order listing, delivering the objects to a supply level of a workstation in a sequence based on the spatial arrangement automatically by an autonomous mobile robot and/or an automated guided vehicle, supplying objects to a working level of the workstation and there presenting the objects to the operator, manually moving the objects onto a support connected to a manual stacking station in the working level and presenting the load carrier in the manual stacking station, where the load carrier defines a work surface for the stack being formed on four sides as it is packed with objects, and manually placing each object at a position in the stack according to the predetermined spatial arrangement.

The invention is a device for welding two overlapping film sections situated on one side of a goods stack. The device includes a welding bar with a welding surface oriented in the direction of the film sections to be welded. The spacing between the welding bar and the film sections is reducible. The welding surface is elastically deformable into a concave course and/or to a convex course between its two ends. At least one displacing device adjusts the course of the welding surface to a concave and/or to a convex course. The displacing device displaces welding bar. A control unit of the welding bar individually controllable, such that the curvature of the welding bar is adjustable to the contour of the side of the goods stack in the region of the film sections to be welded with one another for the subsequent welding of the overlapping film sections.

A module includes compressible insulation products that each have a longitudinal axis, a peripheral surface, and first and second ends. The module includes a single row of insulation products positioned next to one another along a first direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the insulation products, a first film that wraps each insulation product of the single row in a compressed state by covering the peripheral surface of the insulation product, a second film that wraps the single row of insulation products by covering some of the peripheral surface of the insulation products of the row, and a third film that wraps the single row of insulation products by covering the first and second ends of each insulation product of the row.

A unit for the control or management of articles includes a plant including an operating line including an upstream section for making the articles, including a log saw for cutting rolls off elongate logs, a packaging section including a packing section where the articles or rolls are packed, and a bagging section where the packs are placed in bags and/or a palletizing section where the packs or bags are placed on pallets. A conveying section transports products between the upstream section and the packaging section and/or between one packaging section and another downstream. A process controller controls the functioning of the plant sections. The unit includes a device for detecting and/or lighting a face of the product or pack and which is adapted to produce different images of the face, to exhibit different states of reflection of the light that is incident upon the face.
