Abstract: A loaded pallet is carried on a conveyor belt under a support frame carrying one or more rolls of double-layer plastic film. Motor driven drive rollers engage the end of a roll and draw it down where it is engaged by suction heads on opposite sides of the film. The suction heads carried by motor driven flexible suction ducts are moved down on opposite sides of the load to enclose the loaded pallet. A heater assembly fuses a seam in the film above the load and a cutter cuts the film above the seam. The suction ducts may have articulated duct sections. The film is folded flat on a roll and may be tubular or open at one lateral edge.
