ABSTRACT:
A film splicer apparatus is disclosed for splicing a film used for bagging snack foods. The apparatus includes a frame and an axle which is rotatably supported by the frame for rotatably supporting a first roll of the film used for the bagging of the snack foods. A further axle is disposed spaced from the axle for rotatably supporting a replacement second roll of film for replacing the first roll of the film when spent. The first roll and the replacement second roll are rotatable about a first and second axis respectively, the first and second axes being disposed spaced and parallel relative to each other. A tail grabber is provided for grabbing a tail end of the spent first roll. Also, a tracking control is used for tracking the tail end of the spent first roll. A registration device is controlled by the tracking control for registering the tail end of the first roll with an aligned leading edge of the replacement second roll. Additionally, a splice head splices together the registered tail end and the leading edge such that the replacement roll is brought into operation without stopping the operation of bagging the snack foods.
