Benefits of technology

The solution reduces film adherence, minimizes film consumption by up to 30%, and improves product appearance by preventing creases and tears, enhancing overall machine productivity.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the risk of the film adhering to the corresponding counter-jaw due to the sealing processes, which can result in the wrapping tearing when the wrapped product has to leave the machine, is reduced.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]A first aspect relates to a product wrapping machine 100 such as that shown by way of example in FIG. 1. The machine 100 comprises a plurality of transverse counter-jaws 1 that are homogenously distributed in a forward movement direction X of the products P to be wrapped and are separated from one another by a specific separation distance D suitable for housing a product P between every two counter-jaws 1, and at least one support 2 supporting a product P between every two counter-jaws 1. As shown in FIGS. 2a-2e, the support 2 can be formed by two transverse rods arranged between every two counter-jaws 1, but it may also be a conveyor belt, a mesh or an equivalent device arranged under the counter-jaws 1, for example. As a result of the support 2, the product P is arranged between two counter-jaws 1 without coming out of that position during the forward movement thereof. Hereinafter, for the sake of clarity in view of the drawings, in the description the support 2 is formed by...

Abstract

A product wrapping machine with a plurality of counter-jaws homogenously distributed in a forward movement direction (X), a plurality of jaws moving perpendicular to the forward movement direction (X) from an open position to a closed position against the counter-jaws for sealing together the films wrapping the product to one another and cutting them. The machine also includes a jaw actuator for each jaw causing the corresponding jaw to move in the closing direction. The jaws move together simultaneously in the forward movement direction (X) and move independently from one another in the closing direction. The machine further includes a tensioner suitable for collecting part of the film wrapping the product when a jaw leaves the closed position.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application relates to and claims the benefit and priority to Spanish Patent Application No. 201331069, filed Jul. 12, 2013.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to product wrapping machines.BACKGROUND[0003]Product wrapping machines are known. Some wrapping machines comprise a plurality of transverse counter-jaws that are homogenously distributed in a forward movement direction of the products to be wrapped and are separated from one another by a specific separation distance, and two parallel supports between every two counter-jaws on which a product to be wrapped is supported arranged.[0004]The machine comprises transport means for causing the counter-jaws to move in the forward movement direction, the counter-jaws and the supports being attached to said transport means. Therefore, as the transport means is moved in the forward movement direction, the counter-jaws, the supports and the products arranged on the supports ...
