Benefits of technology

The technical effect of this patent is to provide a method that allows for complete removal of sheathing from pallet legs without compromising load stability and protection. Previous methods resulted in reduced stability and protection.

Problems solved by technology

A disadvantage is that the leg clearances are not completely free of the sheathing.
Therefore, the pallet is frequently not accepted by automated high-bay warehouses, since the obligatory system capability test of the leg clearances between the legs returns a negative result.
Although the leg clearances are completely free as a result, this results in significant impairment of the load stability.

Embodiment Construction

)

[0051]In all of the figures, corresponding reference signs are used for components that are identical or of the same type.

[0052]As illustrated in FIG. 1, the shrink machine comprises, inter alia, a shrink station conveyor, which is configured as a chain conveyor in the exemplary embodiment illustrated. The chain conveyor comprises five chain tracks 1 in the exemplary embodiment illustrated. The first and the second chain track 1 and the fourth and the fifth chain track 1 are each arranged close together at a slight distance apart. The distance between adjacent chain tracks 1 is adapted to the formats of the pallet 2 to be conveyed. By means of the chain conveyor, a pallet 2 which is positioned thereon and on the top of which a stack of items is arranged, can be moved in the conveying direction (arrows 3). Usually, the two longitudinal edges of the pallet 2 are oriented parallel to the conveying direction 3, while the two short end edges of the pallet 2 are oriented orthogonally to ...

Abstract

A method for creating at least one clearance in a sheathing consists of shrink film and secures a stack of items arranged on a pallet. The pallet has a top standing surface for the stack of items and a plurality of spaced bottom legs forming leg clearances. The sheathing engages under the legs in the region of the four outer edges of the pallet. At least one clearance is introduced into the sheathing region located between two legs. At least one clearance is intended to be created such that the sheathing region is first of all pulled away from the pallet in the still-hot state and is subsequently displaced upwards in the still-hot state, wherein the upwardly displaced sheathing region is then fixed in its upwardly displaced position by cooling. The invention also relates to a shaping apparatus for carrying out the method.
