Abstract:
1. A film wrapping infeed system comprising: a support assembly feeding a supply of film having first and second plies each with a free edge, the first and second plies being joined together along a longitudinal fold line to define confronting faces of the plies; first and second, spaced-apart film inverter rods situated relative to the support assembly so as to receive and invert the first and second film plies, the spacing of the film inverter rods being selectively variable; a film support assembly adjustment mechanism to selectively adjust a position of the film on the support assembly as a function of the spacing between the first and second film inverter rods; and the support assembly and film inverter rods being positionally adjustable relative to each other so as to align the free edges of the plies as they pass off of the inverter rods.
