Abstract: A wrapping module and a method for providing a sleeve around a mail item are disclosed. A sheet is folded over a leading edge of each mail item so that a first part of the sheet is folded against an upper side of the mail item and the second part of the sheet is folded against a lower side of the mail item and a third part of the sheet extends in the upstream direction beyond the trailing edge of the mail item. Glue is dispensed on the third part. The mail item is turned around with a turning station having a pendulum so that the third part of the sheet is folded around the mail item so that the third part is connected to the first part by the glue to form the sleeve.

Abstract: A packaging assembly for wrapping mail items of differing sizes and each including at least one mail component or a stack of mail components, wherein the packaging assembly comprises: a mail item collecting assembly, a flow wrap station comprising a folding assembly for creating a folded web, a longitudinal sealing assembly for creating a longitudinal seal, and a cross sealing assembly. The packaging assembly is characterized in that the flow wrap station is configured to create said folded web so as to have a single side fold which is positioned on a first side of the subsequently placed mail items, wherein the side fold extends in a transport direction. The packaging assembly further comprises a measuring assembly for determining a transverse position of a second side of the mail item which is opposite the first side. The longitudinal sealing assembly has an infeed end which is positioned downstream of the cross sealing assembly.

Abstract: Apparatus for automatically unstacking a pallet on which at least two stacks of blanks are arranged. The apparatus comprises an unstacking station which is configured for receiving a pallet on which are arranged at least two stacks of blanks in collapsed condition. The unstacking station is further configured for taking off one by one individual blanks from the at least two stacks of blanks which are on a pallet received in the unstacking station. The apparatus further includes a feed track for conveying pallets. The feed track links up by a discharge end with the unstacking station for the purpose of feeding a pallet with stacks of blanks to be unstacked to the unstacking station. Further, the apparatus includes a blank main discharge assembly for discharging individual blanks to a further processing station.
