Piece good combination with spirally mounted carrier element and method for production thereof

Abstract

A method for packaging piece good batches is provided. A transport device transports a plurality of piece goods in particular in the form of a piece good flow in a specified transport direction, and a first wrapping device wraps a film element around the piece goods, the film element having a specified first width. The first wrapping device has a dispensing assembly which circulates around the piece goods, and the piece goods are supplied to the first wrapping device in order to be wrapped with the film element. The piece goods are wrapped with a strip-like element by means of a strip application device, the strip-like element having a smaller width than the film element.

1 . A method for packaging a piece good combination, wherein a transport device transports a plurality of piece goods in a predetermined transport direction, and wherein a first wrapping device wraps the piece goods with a first film element, wherein the first film element has a predetermined first width, and wherein the first wrapping device has a dispensing unit revolving around the piece goods, and wherein the piece goods are delivered to the first wrapping device in order to be wrapped by the first film element, wherein the piece goods are wrapped with a strip-like element by means of a strip application device, the strip-like element having a smaller width than the first film element, wherein the strip-like element is applied in the form of a spiral wrapping to the piece goods. 
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein adjacent windings of the spiral wrapping do not touch. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein adjacent turns of the first film element applied spirally to the piece goods overlap. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein both the first film element and also the strip-like element are severed by means of a separating device arranged in the transport direction after the first wrapping device and the strip application device. 
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein by means of a second wrapping device a second film element is applied to the piece goods, wherein this second wrapping device has a dispensing unit revolving around the piece goods, and wherein the piece goods are delivered to the second wrapping device in order to be wrapped by the second film element. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the strip-like element is arranged on the piece goods in such a way that it can be used as a gripping element for carrying the piece good combination. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the strip-like element has at least one of a uniform orientation and a uniform gradient angle. 
     
     
         8 . A machine for packaging a piece good combination comprising a transport device which transports a plurality of piece goods in a predetermined transport direction, a first wrapping device which is suitable and intended for wrapping the piece goods with a first film element, wherein the first film element has a first predetermined width, and wherein the first wrapping device has a dispensing unit revolving around the piece goods, wherein the piece goods can be delivered to the first wrapping device in order be wrapped by the first film element, and a strip application device which wraps the piece goods with a strip-like element, the strip-like element having a smaller width than the first film element, wherein the strip-like element is applied in the form of a spiral wrapping to the piece goods. 
     
     
         9 . The machine according to  claim 8 , further comprising a second wrapping device which is arranged after the first wrapping device in the transport direction of the piece goods and which is suitable and intended to wrap the piece goods with a second film element. 
     
     
         10 . The machine according to  claim 9 , wherein the strip application device is arranged after the second wrapping device or between the first wrapping device and the second wrapping device in the transport direction of the piece goods. 
     
     
         11 . A piece good combination comprising a plurality of piece goods wrapped by means of a first film element and with a strip-like carrying element arranged on the first film element for carrying the piece good combination, wherein the strip-like carrying element is wound spirally around the piece good combination. 
     
     
         12 . The piece good combination according to  claim 11 , wherein the strip-like element has a smaller width than the first film element.
