  • Method for hermetically bagging material, e.g. lumber pieces, in a tubular plastic tube
    Patent number: 6161365
    Abstract: The bagging apparatus comprises a frame defining an opening for receiving bundles to be sheathed, bag retaining hook members mounted to the frame and displaceable between a retracted position for receiving an expandable sheath and an extended position where the sheath is stretched for allowing bundles to be introduced into the sheath through the upstream open ended portion thereof. Advancement mechanisms are provided for displacing the bundles through the bagging apparatus. A sealing unit located on a downstream side of the frame is operational for wrapping bundles into individual hermetic bags taken from the sheath. A loading arm may also be provided for installing the sheath onto the bag retaining hook members.
