There is provided a system for packaging objects on a conveyor using a tubular plastic film. More specifically, the invention provides a system, wherein the tubular plastic film can be wrapped around the objects in a horizontal manner.

A method and a baling system includes at least one baler (14) for producing highly compressed bales (2) made of artificial fibers. The baler (14) includes a securing device for applying a securing device (3), in particular strapping, to the compressed bales (2). A packaging device (1) applies a bale casing (4) that is closed on all sides to the secured compressed bales (2).

The packaging device (1) includes a production and application device (21) for producing a sleeve-type casing (5) and for the application thereof to the compressed bales (2), as well as a sealing device (22) for closing and sealing axial ends (6, 7) of the sleeve-type casing (5) on the uncovered sides of the bales.

The present invention relates to a method for gathering-up a tubular film portion on at least two gathering fingers of a packaging machine and to a gathering apparatus of a packaging machine for carrying out the method as claimed in the invention. The method is distinguished in that the tubular film portion is expanded at least in a part region when being gathered-up onto the gathering fingers. The gathering apparatus as claimed in the invention is distinguished in that the gathering fingers can be driven into a gathering-up position for gathering-up the tubular film portion, in which gathering-up position the tubular film portion is expanded at least in a part region.

Packaging method and device in which, with the aid of a stretch hood system 1, a tubular film portion 3 is drawn over an article 2 that is to be packaged. The tubular film portion 3 is firstly reefed with the aid of a reefing device 8 onto at least two reefing fingers 7 of a drawing-over device 6. Then, by moving the drawing-over device 6 along the article 2 that is to be packaged, the tubular film portion 3 is unreefed from the reefing fingers 7 of the drawing-over device 6 and drawn at least in sections over the article 2. During the reefing, the tubular film portion 3 is at least intermittently inflated.
