Description

90753

This invention relates to a transport package comprising a transport pallet, goods on a transport pallet, such as rolls and / or sheets of paper, and a tight wrapper that protects and secures the goods.

Packing, protecting and securing cargo so that the goods to be transported arrive intact, especially in a multimodal transport chain such as a car-train ship, has proved to be particularly problematic and expensive and no satisfactory solution has been found.

15

Binding cargo to a car platform, a railway wagon or to various transport platforms used in maritime transport, such as ferry wagons and containers and their various modifications, is difficult and technically complex. In sea-20 jets, this has proved to be particularly problematic and Roll on-Roll off vessels have even capsized due to cargo displacement when the cargo mooring fails during heavy seagoing traffic, and even if such dramatic accidents do not occur, cargo is still severely damaged during sea transport.

Current methods have not been able to mechanize the attachment of cargo to its transport platform. Securing the cargo is technically difficult and requires a lot of human labor, 30 which becomes expensive. In roll-on roll-off vessels, a satisfactory result is difficult to achieve due to the high loads necessary for the transport economy of these vessels, which are very high, especially in relation to the width of the transport base, and thus difficult to attach to the transport-35 base satisfactorily.

Goods to be transported on small pallets, for example pallets, have in some cases been wrapped in plastic films, the wrapping being carried out substantially horizontally up to the edges of the pallet. The aim is primarily to protect the goods on the transport platform from dirt and moisture. In addition, if it is desired to prevent the package from moving due to the high acceleration forces generated during transport, the package is generally tied to its transport base with a rim after wrapping.

Repeated handling of individual packages often causes 10 severe damage to both the package and the packaged goods. For example, forest industry products such as paper rolls and sheets are processed 6-10 times in a typical today’s export chain between a production facility and the final customer’s point of use. As a result, the packaging of a single product 15, such as a roll of paper, must be resistant to multiple handling and other hazards during transport, such as moisture, crushing, bumps, etc. The packaging of a single product thus becomes expensive and handling the packaging material at the recipient 20 becomes expensive and environmentally harmful. Weatherproof packaging is often cardboard-plastic laminates that cannot be recycled or disposed of by incineration. The only solution is a landfill.

The object of the present invention is to provide a transport package of the type mentioned in the introduction, in which the above-mentioned difficulties have been eliminated. The main features of the invention appear from the appended claims.

30 Instead of the individual goods on the pallet being individually packaged to protect them from damage during transport and not only being securely fastened to the pallet to prevent the transfer of cargo, the pallet in the transport package of the present invention is also wrapped in said wrapper. into a single transport package. Such a transport package is not only well protected but also

90753 3 can be easily secured during transport by anchoring the transport base in a manner known per se, whereby the goods on the transport base also remain in place.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a wrapper is formed around a stretched plastic film web wrapped transversely around the transport base and the goods thereon, which can be re-directed for use as a raw material in the plastics industry.

10

The transport package according to the invention is conveniently formed by already existing circumferential wrapping machines, which are currently used, for example, for wrapping paper rolls in a plastic film web.

15

The transport package according to the present invention is particularly well suited for use in large cargo units according to FI publication 83067, in which the cargo space is divided according to the height of the cargo into 20 freely selectable sub-spaces. In large cargo units according to this publication, the cargo to be collected on intermediate pallets does not have to be as high as it should otherwise be in order to ensure transport economy. Since the size of the cargo on such intermediate pallets is smaller than usual, the cargo can be tied in place by means of plastic film webs, i.e. using the transport packages according to the present invention.

The invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawing, which shows a perspective view of a wrapping machine suitable for wrapping a transport package according to the present invention and a transport package according to the invention to be wrapped therein.

35 In the drawing, the transport package to be wrapped is generally indicated by reference number 1. The transport part of the transport package 1 is indicated by reference number 2 and the goods on it, in this case rolls of paper, by reference number 3. The tight wrap protecting and securing the goods is indicated by reference number 4. , the transport tray 2 is also wrapped in said wrapper 4 together with the goods 3 on it in a ninth to 5 unitary transport packaging 1.

The wrapping machine consists of platforms 6 and a reciprocating carriage 8 between them, on which there is a perimeter 7, along the inside of which moves the storage space 5 of the plastic film web.

The transport pallet 2 and the goods 3 on it rest on the ends of the transport pallet 2 on the platforms 6 of the wrapping machine inside the perimeter 7, whereby the transport pallet 2 and the goods 3 on it are wrapped in a plastic film web. and the periphery 7 on it move along the transport package 1 from its end to end. The plastic film web is stretched while being wrapped to form a very tight wrap 4 around the transport package 1. The side edges of the transport base 2 have recesses 9, by means of which the transport package 1 can be anchored in place during transport.

The transport package according to the invention thus achieves e.g. the following advantages: - the pallet and the products on the pallet are wrapped together in a plastic film to achieve a flexible and dynamic bonding that prevents the load from moving on the pallet, - the binding force of the package (between the goods and the pallet) can be adjusted to plastic films or by increasing or decreasing the number of films and the pre-stretching of the film 35, - the packaging ensures that the load is secured to the pallet throughout the transport chain and at the same time protects the goods carried, fully automatic, 5 - the package can be transported in its entirety in cars, railways and ships, so that even in a transport chain involving several different modes of transport, packaging that goes unloaded from the manufacturer to the customer and does not touch individual products throughout the transport chain.
