For the purpose of erecting and filling a folding box which has closure flaps on two opposite sides, the folding box is removed from a store and erected such that the closure flaps are arranged on its upper side and its underside. The lower closure flaps are folded over and the underside of the folding box is thus closed, whereupon products are introduced into the folding box. Then, the upper closure flaps are folded over, as a result of which the upper side of the folding box is closed. Thereafter, both the upper closure flaps and the lower closure flaps are fixed in their closed position in a downstream fixing apparatus.

A bale bagging apparatus and method are provided. The bale bagging apparatus includes a bale feeding station, a bale chute, a bale bagging station, and a transportation system that transports a bale to be bagged from the bale feeding station through the bale chute and into the bale bagging station. The bale bagging station includes a bag receptacle, a first opening, and a bag retrieval assembly. The bag receptacle is positioned on a side opposite of the first opening from the side of the first opening on which the bale to be bagged is to be transported. The bag retrieval assembly retrieves a bag from the bag receptacle through the first opening. The bag retrieval assembly positions a first end of said bag around at least a portion of the bale chute before the bale to be bagged is transported through the bale chute by the transportation system.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a random case sealer. The case sealer includes a top-head-actuating assembly configured to vary the speed of the top-head assembly when ascending (to make room for the case beneath the top-head assembly) and when descending onto the case (to engage the top surface of the case during sealing). This maximizes the speed of the top-head assembly while limiting overshoot (when ascending) and preventing damage to the case (when descending). In certain embodiments the case sealer includes a tape cartridge configured to limit the forces imparted onto the leading and top surfaces of the case during sealing. These features result in increased throughput as compared to prior art random case sealers without requiring stronger cases or more protective dunnage.

There is provided a filling packaging machine which does not cause poor sealing between a sealing tape and the inner surface of a tubular packaging material in a laterally sealed portion as formed by ultrasonic sealing. A filling packaging machine includes a tape attachment device, a vertical sealing device and a lateral sealing device. The tape attachment device attaches a predetermined-width portion of a sealing tape to one end of one surface of a web-like packaging material in such a manner that a first edge of both edges of the sealing tape, which is to be located on an overlapping portion side of a tubular packaging material when viewed from an inner step of an overlapping portion, will be disposed at a position displaced from an outer step of the overlapping portion when viewed in the thickness direction of the tubular packaging material.

A forward and reverse roller type wafer sealing system includes a wafer seal tape, a wafer seal transfer member, an inflow conveyor belt, a first pressure roller member, a second pressure roller member and an outflow conveyor belt. The wafer seal tape has a shape wound in a roll type, and has a plurality of wafer seals attached in series to one surface. The wafer seal transfer member includes a supply holding member on which the wafer seal tape is mounted, a removing pulley for removing the wafer seal as the wafer seal tape is transferred, and a recovery holding member for winding a base member from which the wafer seal is removed using the removing pulley as a separation point. The inflow conveyor belt rotates in a forward rotation direction to transfer the packaging object in order to attach the wafer seal for preventing unfolding to a plurality of accumulated packaging objects. The first pressure roller member is disposed at a rear end of the inlet conveyor belt. As a part of a removed wafer seal is attached to the edge of one surface of the packaging object and transferred, the first pressure roller member bends the rest of the wafer seal in a U-shape to pressurize the edge of the other surface of the object to be packaged. The second pressure roller member is disposed at a rear end of the conveying roller member. The second pressure roller member transfers the packaging object having the wafer seal attached to the edge of one side and the edge of the other side. The outflow conveyor belt is disposed at a rear end of the second pressure roller. The outflow conveyor belt rotates in the forward rotation direction to transport the packaging object with the wafer seal attached.

For the defects that manual adhesive tape pasting is low in efficiency and high in cost, and it is difficult to automatically paste adhesive tapes at specified positions of inner and outer surfaces of an item according to a certain length through a handheld box sealer and an adhesive tape seal pasting mechanism, a cantilever type plane automatic adhesive tape pasting device is invented. A liftable two-stage telescopic cantilever adhesive tape pasting head structure, a roller type automatic adhesive tape feeding structure, an adjustable fixed-length cutting structure and a roller type pasting structure are adopted for the device to achieve the automatic adhesive tape pasting on inner and outer side planes of an item. After the item needing adhesive tape pasting is positioned, the pasting process is completely automatically conducted without manual participation, the labor intensity is reduced, the labor efficiency is improved.
