APPAREILS DE REGROUPEMENT D'ARTICLES ET PROCEDES DE REGROUPEMENT, D'EMPILAGE, D'EMBALLAGE ET DE STABILISATION D'ARTICLES

L'invention concerne les appareils de palettisation.Elle se rapporte à un appareil qui comporte un dispositif 36 de saisie d'articles 34 qui sont déplacés le long d'une flèche 40 mobile verticalement sur un mât 46. De cette manière, des couches de caisses 34 sont empilées sur une palette placée sur un plateau tournant 12 et un film de matière plastique est enroulé autour des boîtes lorsque celles-ci sont entraînées en rotation sur le plateau tournant 12.Application à la palettisation automatique de groupes d'articles. PURPOSE: To enable stable formation of a palletized articles by a method wherein after articles are received from a supply source, they are transferred to a collecting station and directly loaded on the collecting station, then the stacked articles are wrapped with wrapping films. CONSTITUTION: After a pair of boxes series 34 are stacked on a conveyor 22 and captured by a palletizer 14, the boxes are forwarded to a turntable 12. When a pair of boxes are stacked up to the height required for the first packaging cycle, said packaging cycle is started. A film 62 is held by a film clamp 72. A turntable 12 is rotated from 0 deg. to 360 deg. clockwise and the film 62 is rolled out from a rolled film 48. The film 62 is spirally rolled out for the articles on the pallet 32 as the turntable 12 is rotated and the circumference of the stacked article is firmly packaged with the film 62 by a film clamp 72.
