Definitions

  • Two main techniques are adopted at present for applying said film of plastic material:
  • One of said techniques consists in carrying out a true and proper wrapping with several layers of a thin film of stretch material.
  • Said film is in the form of a strap of flexible plastic material resisting to tensile stress, as low-density polyethylene having a thickness of 20/30 ⁇ m.
  • Said film is applied under tension on the palletized load and it sticks thereon by simple mutual adhesion of the single layers.
  • the drawback of such a wrapping is its scarce capability to hold together the load, the fastening action being essentially limited to the transversal direction.
  • the other technique consists in slipping over the palletized load a piece of tubular film of thermoretractible material, as polyethylene having a thickness of 80/120 ⁇ m. Said tubular film is slipped over the load in a loose state and is then tightened, through heat, up to strictly adhering to the load.
  • Machines of this type are known, for example, from EP-A1-0 076 867 or EP-A1-0 395 919.
  • the main drawback of this technique lies in the fact that, in order to cause a sufficient shrinking without risking to damage (burn) the film, it is necessary
  • the main object of the present invention is therefore to realize an apparatus allowing to apply a thermoretractible film over the load in a simple and precise manner, but making use, first of all, of a low-power heat source.
  • a further object of the present invention is to allow making use of a scarcely polluting heat source, for instance obtained by infrared rays, or by air heated with resistors.
  • the object of the present invention is reached due to the fact that said support means comprise slides horizontally movable towards and away from the vertical surface of the load, on each of said slides there being mounted at least one feeling member bearing onto the load surface, and at least one low-power heat source shortly spaced from the feeling member, this latter - preferably consisting of a roller freely rotatable about a horizontal axis parallel to the surface of the load - being apt, on one hand, to apply the thermoretractible film over the surface of the load and, on the other hand, to determine the distance between the heat source and the film surface.
  • the apparatus comprises a plurality of known-type hot air generators G, each comprising a motorfan, heating resistors, and a nozzle distributing hot air jets.
  • the generators G are mounted in sets of three, on parallel longitudinal support slides 1 and 2 positioned on the two opposite lateral sides of the load C, and in sets of two, on parallel transversal slides 3 and 4 positioned on the opposite end sides of the load C.
  • the slides 1 and 2 are slidable - in the direction of arrows F - along horizontal transversal guides (not shown); their movement is controlled by cylinder-piston units 5 which simultaneously move them towards or, respectively, away from the load C.
  • the slides 3 and 4 are in turn slidable - in the direction of arrows F' - along horizontal longitudinal guides (not shown); their movement is equally controlled by cylinder-piston units 6 which simultaneously move them towards or, respectively, away from the load C.
  • the cylinder-piston units 5 and 6 do not control directly the movements of the slides 1, 2, and 3, 4, but through elastic means - for example springs - allowing a certain possibility of horizontal displacement of said slides, for the purpose specified hereinafter. Stop means, provided with position adjustment means, are moreover associated in known manner to the units 5 and 6.
  • An alternative elastic system can be obtained with the same units 5 and 6, by using pneumatic means and regulating the feeding pressure to a sufficiently low extent to allow some oscillation of the piston into the cylinder chamber.
  • the horizontal guides (not shown) supporting the slides 1, 2, 3, 4, are in turn slidable in a vertical direction - arrows F'' in fig. 3 - along vertical guide rods (also not shown).
  • the horizontal guides and vertical guide rods are not illustrated on the drawings, as their structure is within reach of any technician skilled in the art and does not strictly form part of the present invention.
  • Each of said slides 1, 2, 3 and 4 carries - as well as a set of generators G - also a roller 1a, 2a, 3a and, respectively, 4a, mounted freely rotatable about a horizontal axis parallel to the surface of the load C. Said rollers act as feeling members and their surface is provided with a lagging, for the purpose specified hereinafter.
  • the rollers are mounted so that a vertical plane tangent to the periphery of the roller, on the side facing the load C, passes at a short distance - for instance, a distance l of about 30 to 50 mm - from the outlet nozzle G1 of the hot air generator G.
  • the rollers are moreover mounted through position adjustment means, which allow to precisely adjust the distance l according to the type of thermoretractible material and to the power of the heat source.
  • the air - heated to about 350°C in the generator G - reaches the film of thermoretractible plastic material without there being enough time for it to mix with ambient air: this helps to preserve its temperature.
  • the presence of the feeling roller helps to preserve the right temperature, since said roller is positioned just above the nozzle G1 and thus forms a sort of hood to prevent hot air from escaping towards the top.
  • the function of the roller - both as pressure or feeling member, and as hood or barrier to contain the hot air - can also be performed by a bar of semirigid or flexible material, as rubber.
  • thermoretractible film Taking into account the proximity and positioning of the hot air generators, and especially the presence of the cited barrier, it is thus possible to make use of low-power generators - also, in particular, of generators with heating resistors, or of electrically fed generators with infrared rays - being sure that the heat supplied by them will not be dispersed, but will be concentrated on the thermoretractible film, so as to allow it to reach a temperature sufficient to produce the required thermoretraction. It is possible, of course, to use also gas-fired generators, with the advantage that - according to the arrangement of the present invention - sharp-fire burners can be used.
