Abstract
Method and apparatus for tying bundles with straps made of paper pulp fibers. The machine is positioned transverse to a conveyor upon which bundles are moved into position for tying. The machine includes a track for guiding the strap around the bundle, applying an adhesive to the forward end of the strap, clamping the forward end of the strap, tightening the strap around the bundle, pressing the forward end against an overlapped portion of the strap until the adhesive cures, cutting the rear end of the strap, and releasing the bundle to be conveyed to a position for unloading from the conveyor.
