Abstract: An automatic banding packing machine is provided with a packing machine body having an upper-face table on which the object to be packed passes, a pair of vertical band guide arches arranged separately from each other above the upper-face table in a direction parallel with a passage direction of the object to be packed, and a horizontal band guide arch arranged above the upper-face table in the direction parallel with the passage direction of the object to be packed, and the pair of vertical band guide arches is configured to be movable between a standby position separated from the horizontal band guide arch and a communication position communicating with the horizontal band guide arch in a direction orthogonal to the passage direction of the object to be packed.

Abstract: An automatic banding packing machine and its automatic banding packing system are provided in which conveying lines of an object to be packed can be aligned in a straight direction, an installation space can be small, the entire structure can be simplified, and moreover, band supply into a band guide arch can be conducted surely so as to enable continuous packing work.

Abstract: A lower part 14L of a band way 14, which is incorporated in an arch unit 12, is separated from the other parts of the band way 14. A drive (air cylinder) 35 supports the lower part 14L, allowing the same to move between a substantially horizontal initial position and an inclined position. A band 13 is released from the band way 14 when a packing operation starts. Thereafter, the lower part 14L is moved from the initial position to the inclined position and compressed air is applied to the guide surface 14a of the lower part 14L, thereby removing foreign matter from the band way 14. This sequence of removing foreign matter is performed in, for example, each cycle of packing operation.
