| 20100287882 | MULTI-ROW WRAPPING MACHINE PARTICULARLY FOR WRAPPING CONFECTIONERY PRODUCTS SUCH AS SLABS OF CHOCOLATE AND SUCHLIKE - A multi-row wrapping machine for wrapping products (P) comprising a plurality of wrapping lines or rows (F), adjacent and coplanar to each other, each wrapping row being defined between a common input station ( | 11-18-2010 |
| 20110083400 | Ice Cream Sandwich-Making Machine - An improved wrapping apparatus for an ice-cream sandwich-making machine comprises an oscillating arm and cam which drives a horizontal slider plate connected to a frame, and a pusher unit connected to an air cylinder; an improved paper feeder system, including separate paper and knife drives, air compression springs, and a paper low sensor; and a hinged exit tray. | 04-14-2011 |
| 20110146203 | WRAPPING APPARATUS AND METHOD INCLUDING METERED PRE-STRETCH FILM DELIVERY ASSEMBLY - The present disclosure provides a method and apparatus for dispensing a predetermined fixed amount of pre-stretched packaging material based upon load girth. A non-rotating ring carries a belt driven by a motor. A packaging material dispenser is mounted on a rotating ring, and the rotating ring may include a pulley that connects to the band, such that the rotating ring is driven by the drive belt. Based upon the girth of the load to be wrapped, an amount of pre-stretched packaging material to be dispensed for at least a portion of a revolution made by the rotating ring is determined. Good wrapping performance in terms of load containment (wrap force) and optimum packaging material use is obtained by dispensing a length of pre-stretched packaging material that is between approximately 90% and approximately 120% of load girth. Once the amount of packaging material to be dispensed per revolution is determined, a ratio of rotating ring drive to final pre-stretch surface speed (i.e., number of pre-stretch roller revolution/rotating ring rotation) can be set and mechanically controlled. Thus, for each revolution of the rotating ring and dispenser, an amount of packaging material is dispensed and wrapped around the load. In an alternative embodiment, the ratio is electronically controlled. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20160122049 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR WRAPPING A FOLIO REAM OF PAPER - A method and apparatus for wrapping a folio ream. The method includes pre-creasing a wrap sheet and driving the ream into the wrap sheet toward a fold position. A bubble of wrap is formed in the wrap sheet, which is cut while the ream advances, such that a lower flap of the wrap sheet extends beyond the rear edge of the ream. An upper flap fold is formed on the rear edge of the ream, and glue is applied to the lower flap as it is held flat via a vacuum. The lower flap of the wrap sheet is then folded in an upward direction, while the vacuum simultaneously applies a force to an opposite side of the lower flap to keep it flat during folding. The ream is reversed to compress the glue between the lower and upper flaps, forming a rear edge seam on the folio ream. | 05-05-2016 |

| 20090158690 | DEVICE FOR PRODUCING PACKAGES OF SHEET MATERIAL CONTAINING A PRODUCT AND HAVING AT LEAST ONE TWISTED END, CORRESPONDING PROCESS AND APPARATUS - Described herein is a shuttle device for producing wrappers of sheet material (F) containing a product (P) with at least one fantail-twisted end obtained by twisting said sheet material (F). The shuttle (10) comprises a first part ( | 06-25-2009 |
| 053234000 | Rotary turret or carrier | 2 |
| 20090193758 | Machine for packaging products in wrappers of sheet material - In a packaging machine, typically a cellophaner for overwrapping packets of cigarettes, each of the packets is enveloped by a wrapping unit in a heat shrinkable wrapper presenting at least two opposite faces disposed parallel one with another. The machine also comprises a unit by which heat is applied to the wrappers, equipped with a pair of belt conveyors that present two branches, facing one another and set in motion in such a way as to transport the packets by gripping the two opposite faces of each wrapper, and at least one heating head associated with each transport branch; the heating heads are faced with a leaf of lamellar graphite bonded to the head on one side and offered in direct contact on the other to the respective branch of the corresponding belt conveyor, so as to minimize friction between the belt and the head. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20110078980 | EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR PACKAGING MULTIPLE PACKETS OF CIGARETTES - A machine for sleeving one or more packages of smoking articles is provided. The machine can provide a blank from a roll of continuous material and fold the blank around packages. The machine includes a sleeve folding station that can orient the blank to be folded around the packages. The sleeve folding station is also configured to permit at least one fold in the blank when the package is moved against the blank and into a pocket. The machine may include a bundling unit adapted to arrange packages into a bundle. The machine can include an adhesive applicator to apply adhesive to the blank so that when folded the blank can be attached to itself to form a sleeved package. Preferably, the machine includes a transfer wheel having a pocket for receiving the blank and bundle together, where upon rotation of the wheel the blank is folded around the bundle. | 04-07-2011 |
