The Different Types of Wrapping Machines

1 Conventionai Wrapping Machines using Paper as Packaging Material 

Conventional wrapping machines produce excellent wrapping. The only disadvantages of these traditional machines are that they require a lot of space for the multitude of unwind stations and that the mill has to store a lot of packaging paper rolls of different widths. These disadvantages are eliminated with the wrapping machines described below. 

Theses machines are similar to the above described conventional machines in so far as the packaging paper is fed to the roll to be wrapped in a straightforward way. The main difference is that two or more packaging paper webs are combined into one broad sheet (Fig. 8.11). Thus, rolls whose width exceeds the width of the available packaging rolls can be wrapped effectively with a reduced number of unwind stations.
