Abstract
Apparatus for supplying plastic wrapping film from a supply roll in which the film is folded to have a closed side edge and plies of the film open along an opposite side. The wrapping film is conveyed simultaneously with a stream of predetermined size product through a hot wheel to seal the open plies and form a tube enclosing the product, after which the tube and enclosed product is fed into a film sealing apparatus which cross seals and cuts the plastic tube transversely of its line of movement in a moving cycle in which the plastic tube is cut and sealed with the products individually wrapped and discharged. The film sealing apparatus is adjustable to be able to accommodate changes in the dimensions of products to be wrapped.
