A machine for wrapping a package in a stretchable and then cold- and/or hot-contractible film comprises two identical successive stations located along a line for feeding the packages and comprising each a rotatable support member positioned about the feeding line, on which there is rotatably mounted at least a coil of film which unwinds and envelops the advancing packages, and comprising also a cutting device, positioned downstream the support member to cut the film between two adjacent packages; also provided between the two stations and means for rotating the packages through 90.degree. so that the packages which come out from the machine will have two sheets of film wound about each package and both of them on two opposite faces thereof, but positioned orthogonally to one another, and a single sheet of film wound on the remaining sides of the package.
A machine for wrapping a package in a stretchable and then contractible film, comprising two successive identical wrapping stations and conveyor means for conveying package to be wrapped first through one said station and then through the other said station, each said station including a support member surrounding said conveyor means, means for supporting a roll of said film on said support member and for advancing said roll of film about the conveyor means to wrap film that unwinds from said roll in a sprial wrapping about packages moving on the conveyor means, a cutting device between said stations to cut the film between two adjacent packages, and means between said cutting means and the stations through which the packages last pass, for rotating the packages through 90.degree., whereby said film is spiral wound on the packages first in one direction and then spiral wound on the packages at 90.degree. to said first direction.
