Abstract

A machine wraps packages such as bales of crumb rubber, or other containers of goods, into a protective synthetic resin film bag or cover. The machine is provided with a set of movable jaws each having a heat-sealing frame assembly having improved heat transfer characteristics. The heat-sealing frame assembly is composed of heat sealing units which have enhanced heat distribution and reduced cold spot or no-seal areas, and also reduced hot spot burn-through. Heat transfer from the heat sealing elements to the remaining portions of the baling assembly is also reduced.
