Abstract
A device (1) for applying packaging film to groups of articles (12) comprises a horizontal conveyor (5) for transporting groups of articles (12) and a feed apparatus (15) which introduces pieces of cut packaging film (14) into a transport path of the groups of articles (12. A plurality of wrapping rods (30) move in a rotary fashion such that they take up a remaining free portion (17) of the piece of cut packaging film (14) and guide it around the group of articles (12) each time. A flow generating apparatus (40) generates at least one air flow and blows a remaining free portion (17) of the piece of cut packaging film (14), which has already been taken up by a wrapping rod (30), toward the group of articles (12) each time.
