Abstract:
A method of wrapping a plurality of bales of pulp having various heights comprising transporting each bale between an upper conveyor and a lower conveyor in a conveying direction, applying a first wrapping sheet to the lower surface of said bale as it is transported along said lower conveyor, applying a second wrapping sheet to the upper surface of said bale as it is transported along said upper conveyor, measuring the height of said bale prior to transporting said bale between said upper and lower conveyors, and positioning said upper conveyor based upon said measured height of said bale to adjust the distance between said upper and lower conveyors so that the position of said upper and lower conveyors in relation to each said bale is the same whereby said first and second wrapping sheets are uniformly disposed on said upper and lower surfaces of said bale and the position of the upper sheet in relation to the lower sheet on any given bale is substantially the same.
