  • a web-like material wider that the obj ect being wrapped, is used .
  • the wrapping material extends beyond the end surfaces of the obj ect and the protruding parts of the wrapping material are folded as flaps against the end surfaces .
  • a binder agent is introduced to some of the flaps to form a bond between the flaps .
  • using the method in question does not put the wrapping tightly around the pulp bale . Should a seam glued wi th a water-soluble glue become wet , the gluing of the wrapping material will also often open in transport .
  • Application FI 973253 discloses the mechanical closing of the seams from the sides of the bales .
  • bales When handling the bales with a fork-lift truck, they are pressed from the sides , in which there are closure areas made by gluing or mechanically . During truck handling, forces weakening the attachment act upon the closure areas , so that the wrapping bands of the pulp bales may open during handling .

  • Grand bales 10 ( Figure 2 ) of pulp sheets consist of pulp-sheet bales 12 of this kind .
  • the pulp-sheet bale 12 is wrapped in a web-like wrapping band 16, in such a way that the wrapping band 16 has a start 18 lying against the pulp-sheet bale 12 and an end 20 remaining on the surface of the wrapping band 16.
  • the width w of the wrapping band is essentially of the same order of magnitude as the breadth b of the pulp-sheet bale, the width of the wrapping band being 70 - 100 % , preferably 85 - 100 % of the breath b of the pulp-sheet bale being wrapped .
  • FIG. 2 shows a grand bale 10 of pulp sheets according to the invention, which includes two or more , generally 2 - 10 and preferably 3 - 5 pulp-sheet bales 12.
  • the pulp- sheet bales are shown as if they were separate in order to clarify the figure , even though the bond according to the invention arises when the upper pulp-sheet bales press on the wrapping bands between the bales .
  • Around each pulp-sheet bale 12 are wrapped 1 , 5 or more rounds , generally 1 , 5 - 5 rounds , and preferably 2 - 4 rounds of wrapping band 16.
  • the wrapping band 16 cannot break loose nor can the pulp-sheet bales 12 break open .
  • the layers of wrapping band 16 are thus locked between the pulp-sheet bales 12 , by exploiting gravity .
  • the end 20 of the lowest pulp- sheet bale 12 is on the upper surface of the bale 12 or on the upper part of the side of the bale 12 , the j oint at the end of the wrapping band cannot become wet . This is very important when using water-soluble adhesives .
  • the end 20 of the wrapping band 16 remains between the two uppermost pulp- sheet bales 12 in the grand bale 10 of pulp shee ts , in which case the wrapping band 16 will not flap loosely .
  • a small amount of looseness will not, however, cause problems when handling the bales , so that the very end can protrude from be tween the bales , as long as the rounds of the wrapping band 16 are locked .
  • Placing the end of the wrapping band 16 between the pulp-sheet bales 12 helps the binder agent to hold the end of the wrapping band 16 attached in the pulp-sheet bale , so that the end of the wrapping band will not flap loosely .
  • wrapping bands of slightly different length are drawn around the pulp-sheet bales in slightly different arrangements , when pulp-sheet bales are bound they are preferably bound essentially uniformly with each other .
  • the wrapping band is arranged around a tight pulp-sheet bale, in order to compress the pulp-sheet bale and thus to keep it tight .
  • the wrapping band of wood fibre can be pulped along with the pulp-sheet bale, so that the wrapping band need not be removed at the paper mill and one maj or work stage is avoided .
  • the pulpability of the wrapping band gains considerable advantages in both economy and work safety .
  • the wrapping band is of the same material as the pulp-sheet bale itself, so that it can be sold as pulp to the mill .
  • the wrapping band is of wood fibre or preferably of the same material as the pulp-sheet bale its amount can be increased, without increasing the waste of material . There will be no waste of material , because only dirtied wrapping band need be removed .
  • FIG. 3 shows a pulp-sheet bale 12 according to the invention, around which a second wrapping band 46 is wrapped on bop of the wrapping band 16.
  • the start 18 of wrapping band 16 lies against the pulp-sheet bale while its end 20 is under wrapping band 46.
  • the start 48 of wrapping band 46 lies against the outermost layer of wrapping band 16 while its end 50 is on the surface of the wrapping band 46.
  • the end 50 of wrapping band 46 is preferably located between the pulp-sheet bales 12 set on top of each other . What is essential is that the layers of the outermost wrapping band 46 are locked by gravity, even though the end 50 of the wrapping band 46 may not be between the pulp- sheet bales set on top of each other .
  • the end 20 of wrapping band 16 can be preferably located in a grand bale of pulp sheets between the same pulp-sheet bales 12 as the end 50.
  • the pulp-sheet bale can be bound very many times using wrapping band 16, which is closer to the pulp-sheet bale and, for example, two times with the outer wrapping band 46. In that case, strength will be obtained from the multi-layer wrapping band 16 while the outer wrapping band 46 will protect the pulp-sheet bale 12 and part of the wrapping band 16. Should dirtying occur, only the outer layer need be removed and the material loss will be very small . If the wrapping bands 16, 46 around the pulp-sheet bale 12 become badly dirtied, they can both be removed, in which case the actual pulp-sheet bale 12 will not be dirtied . When using two wrapping bands , the pulp-sheet bale will be very well protected and it will be simple to remove only the necessary amount of possibly dirtied wrapping band . The use of two wrapping bands thus assists in reducing loss of material .
  • Figure 4 shows a pulp-sheet bale 12 according to the invention, the edges 36 of the wrapping band 16 around which are turned two (or more ) times .
  • the width of the turned edges is typically 2 - 6 % , preferably 3 - 5 % of the width of the wrapping band .
  • the width of the turned edges is typically 2 - 6 cm, preferably 3 - 5 cm.
  • the folding of the wrapping band 16 thus increases the breaking strength of the edges 36 of the wrapping band 16.
  • edge tatters at the sides of the wrapping band 16, as edge tatters are of no consequence in an actual pulp sheet .
  • the turning of the edges 36 creates a situation, in which the edge tatters are also of no consequence in the wrapping band 16.
  • the removal of possible edge tatters by turning them at the edges 36 of the wrapping band 16 creates a situation, in which it is practical to use as the wrapping band 16 the same material as that of the pulp sheets in the pulp-sheet bales 12.
