  • the present invention relates to a machine for bundling and palletizing groups of objects, particularly groups of containers, and to a method for bundling and palletizing groups of objects.
  • bundling machines are used to which the containers to be bundled are fed by means of a feeder.
  • the most commonly used bundling machines use an optionally preprinted shrink-wrap film, which is wrapped around a group of objects. This group of objects, wrapped by a portion of shrink-wrap film, is then sent to a shrink-wrap oven and then, once it has exited from the shrink-wrap oven, by using grip devices of various types, is arranged or stacked on pallets so that the bundles arranged on the same plane, also known as layer, have a predefined mutual orientation.
  • a first type of cold bundling machines provides for the film to be wrapped around the group of objects, which are kept in a fixed position by a retention device, while a second type provides for the retention device of the group of containers to be adapted to rotate the group of objects so as to drag the extensible film around it, unwinding it from the spool.
  • the groups of objects around which the extensible film has been wrapped are sent, usually by means of a conveyor belt, to a loading station, at which there are robots adapted to pick up groups of bundles to arrange them and/or stack them in an orderly manner on a respective pallet.
  • the obvious advantage of cold bundling machines is to avoid the use of the shrink-wrap oven and of reducing the quantity of film required for bundling.
  • apparatuses for secondary packaging that use both hot bundling machines and cold bundling machines have a considerable length in addition to a certain complexity in management, since they must provide, in output from the bundling machine, a conveyor, a device for gathering groups of bundles, creating the layer, and a robot for picking up the groups of bundles and for the ordered positioning thereof on the pallet.
  • conveyance means typically belts with feet on the ground
  • bundling operations and the subsequent orientation movements to form the layer of bundles do not provide for the lifting of the bundles from the belt but for example provide for the rotation and movement of the bundles, making them slide on said belt.
  • the aim of the present invention is to solve the problems and obviate the drawbacks described above, providing a machine for bundling and palletizing groups of objects, particularly groups of containers, and a method for bundling and palletizing groups of objects, which are capable of reducing drastically the time required to perform these operations, integrating into a single flexible, economic and compact machine the three independent machines described above.
  • an object of the invention is to provide a machine for bundling and palletizing groups of objects, particularly groups of containers, and a method for bundling and palletizing that allows to reduce the length of the lines and to simplify the devices required to perform these operations.
