Abstract: A method and apparatus for wrapping bales of pulp are disclosed, the method comprising transporting the bales between upper and lower conveyors, applying a first wrapping sheet to the lower surface of the bale, applying a second wrapping sheet to the upper surface of the bale, measuring the height of the bale prior to transporting it between the upper and lower conveyors, and adjusting the distance between the upper and lower conveyors based upon the measured height of the bale such that both of the wrapping sheets are uniformly disposed on the upper and lower surfaces of the bale. The apparatus includes an upper conveyor, a lower conveyor juxtaposed with the upper conveyor, such that the bales may be transported between the upper and lower conveyors, a transmitter for measuring the height of the bales upstream of the upper and lower conveyors, and a positioner for adjusting the distance between the upper and lower conveyors based on the measured height of the bales.
