ABSTRACT:
An apparatus (1) for banding palletized products comprises: a conveyor (2), extending in a direction of feed (A), for transporting pallets (3), each bearing a stack (4) of products; a gantry structure (5) mounted over the conveyor (2) and equipped with two pairs (6, 7) of film reels, each pair being mounted at a different height from the other on the gantry uprights (5a, 5b) in such a way as to form two bands (8, 9) of film positioned transversely relative to the uprights (5a, 5b) so as to intercept the front of the product stack (4) as it moves forward; a pair of units (10, 11) for sealing and cutting the film bands (8, 9) supported by the gantry structure (5) on the rear side of the latter relative to the direction of feed (A), and mobile between an idle position, where the units (10, 11) are close to the uprights (5a, 5b), and a working position, where the units (10, 11) are away from the uprights (5a, 5b) so that each intercepts, seals and cuts a respective portion of the film bands (8, 9) wrapped around the product stack (4); the pair of sealing and cutting units (10, 11) being supported also by a single mounting unit (12) that projects from the gantry structure (5) and that slides along the crossbeam (5c) of the latter to and from the idle and working positions.
