ABSTRACT:
A banding apparatus for automatically forming bands from flattened tubular banding material and applying them to large sized containers. A set of inner crease rollers disposed on a floating wedge inside the tubing interact with outer crease rollers to press out sidewall creases during formation of cylindrically shaped bands. The wedge comprises a pair of parabolic or variable width separation plates joined at right angles along a common axis and using a mounting block to support the inner crease rollers. A feed assembly in the form of a reciprocating slide assembly releasably engages the banding material using a contact lever and advances predetermined lengths of the banding material to a cut-off assembly above the containers where they are cut into separate bands. A support head positioned adjacent to the cut-off assembly engages and holds a portion of each band in a fixed vertical position above the containers which suspends them in an open configuration for engagement by individual containers. A retention element is mounted on an opposite side of the banding material from the support head and holds the banding material in a collapsed state against the head until the banding material is cut into a band. The retention element is retracted above the bands, once formed, thereby allowing them to open next to an upper portion of a container for engaging the container. A transport mechanism includes a secondary heat source and deflection elements for contracting portions of the bands prior to main heat treatment.
