Abstract: A device for checking the quality of extensible film for wrapping purposes available in reels, operatively associable to a wrapping machine. The device supports at least one reel of extensible film, including at least one storage memory of a plurality of wrapping programs of a palletized load, each characterised by different operating parameters to carry out the wrapping operation, and detects at least one parameter representative of the quality of the film on the reel and measures instant by instant, the present diameter of the reel. An electronic processor, operatively associated with the storage memory, is provided suitable for selecting and/or changing a given wrapping program according to at least the parameter representative of the quality of the film on the reel. A method to inspect the quality of the packaging stretch film available in reels.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a head for wrapping loads, particularly for palletized loads, including at least one support framework for at least one reel of extensible material, the support framework including at least one pair of plates connected to each other through a longitudinal plate extending along a longitudinal axis (x-x) of the framework, the reel being supportable by the support framework parallel to the axis (x-x) and the extensible material, in use, can be unwound from the at least one reel along a delivery plane (P), at least means for the return of the extensible materials supported by the at least one support framework along the longitudinal axis (x-x). The wrapping head includes at least one group for folding the extensible material, downstream of the return means, the folding group being predisposed, in use, to engage and fold at least one peripheral portion (p) of such extensible material on itself, hence obtaining a double layer band (F) of such extensible material.

Abstract: The apparatus for handling layers of palletized products includes a gripping head associable to a transfer machine adapted to displace the gripping head at least along a substantially vertical direction, the gripping head being provided with: a support framework associable to the transfer machine, a substantially horizontal suction plane associated to the support framework and adapted to suction a layer (S) of palletized products (P), and a fall-prevention plane associated to the support framework and mobile between a rest configuration, wherein the space underlying the suction plane is clear and the suction plane is free to be arranged at contact with the upper surface of the layer (S) of products (P), and an operating configuration wherein the fall-prevention plane is arranged below the suction plane and the layer (S) of suctioned products (P).

Abstract: A system for wrapping loads comprising a rotary platform rotating around a vertical axis, a wrapping head having a reel of film for covering a load, the wrapping head being configured to be selectively associated with a moving machine having a rotatable connection and a plate with removable connections, a support frame configured to support the wrapping head when not associated with the moving machine, the support frame being placed outside of the moving machine and configured on linear rails, the wrapping head including attachments for removable connection to the support frame, the removable connections of the moving machine being configured to support and connect the wrapping head when the wrapping head is associated to the moving machine, the rotatable connection of the moving machine being configured to rotate a plate having the removable connections and to move the wrapping head connected to and supported by the plate toward or away from the support frame so as to facilitate replacement of the wrapping h

Abstract: A system for wrapping loads includes a rotary platform and a moving machine according to a vertical direction, a wrapping head provided with at least one reel of film for covering a load associated to said moving machine, a support frame for at least two wrapping heads outside the vertical moving machine provided with a displacement device, the wrapping head includes a first removable attachment means to the support frame and a second removable attachment means to the moving machine, and a rotatable connection arranged between the wrapping head and the moving machine.

Abstract: The process for wrapping loads, in particular palletised loads, comprises the following phases: providing a rotating platform that is suitable for receiving a load to be wrapped and which has advancement means for advancing the load in an advancing direction, and a movement machine for moving a wrapping head along a substantially vertical direction for co-operating with the rotating platform to wrap the load with a covering sheet, the wrapping head having cutting means for cutting the covering sheet to form a cut end, and joining means for connecting the cut end to the load; placing the load to be wrapped on the rotating platform; wrapping the load on the rotating platform with the covering sheet to define a stabilizing wrap; turning the rotating platform so the advancing direction is towards the wrapping head; advancing the wrapped load on the rotating platform in the direction approaching the wrapping head until located in proximity to the head itself; and then cutting the covering sheet to form a cut en

Abstract: A system for wrapping loads includes a moving machine and a wrapping head equipped with a reel of film for covering a load, the wrapping head including sleeves which can be positioned on pegs of an external supporting frame for parking the head in a store, and blocks with slots in which pins of the moving machine can be vertically inserted to lift and move the wrapping head.

Abstract: A system for wrapping loads includes a moving machine of a wrapping head equipped with a reel of film for covering a load, the wrapping head including first removable coupling means to an external supporting frame for parking the head in a store and second removable coupling means to the moving machine which includes at least one vertical fastening element associated with the moving machine and at least one reference element associated with the wrapping head and which can be coupled to the fastening element along a mutual and substantially vertical direction of engagement and disengagement.
