Wrapping machine

A wrapping machine comprising an unwinding apparatus and a system for removing from said unwinding apparatus a core of film reel, said unwinding apparatus comprising a reel holder shaft suitable to support a film reel and having a lower end provided with at least one abutment arm movable between an open configuration to support said core inserted in said reel holder shaft and a closed configuration to allow removing or inserting said core from/into said reel holder shaft, said system comprising a removing apparatus which includes a supporting element provided with a side wall forming an internal cavity having an upper opening and an upper peripheral edge which bounds the upper opening and forms a flat supporting surface adapted for abutting and supporting said core when said lower end of said reel holder shaft is inserted into said internal cavity in a removing configuration with said abutment arm that is disengaged and spaced from said core, said wrapping machine being characterized in that said side wall of said supporting element comprises a plurality of elastic elements arranged angularly spaced about and parallel to a second longitudinal axis of said supporting element so as to form by means of respective central portions said internal cavity having a first diameter wider than a first transverse dimension of said lower end with said abutment arm arranged in said open configuration, said elastic elements comprising respective upper portions shaped so as to form said upper peripheral edge and said upper opening that has a second diameter substantially equal to an internal diameter of said core, said elastic elements being configured to elastically bend and open wide when abutted by said abutment arm in said open configuration in order to enable said lower end to enter said internal cavity.
