Abstract

A method of wrapping an object features using a first conveyor belt to move the object toward a first partial conveyor section which is located at a downstream end of the first conveyor belt and which is moveable vertically and horizontally with respect to a fixing device; transferring the object from the first conveyor belt to the first partial conveyor section and lifting the object to the fixing device; holding and rotating the object using the fixing device; wrapping the object with wrapping material using a wrapping device configured to rotate about an essentially horizontal axis to wrap the object while the object is being rotated by the fixing device about an essentially vertical axis; transferring the object from the fixing device to a second partial conveyor section which is located at an upstream end of a second conveyor and which is moveable vertically and horizontally with respect to the fixing device; and transferring the object from the second partial conveyor section to the second conveyor belt.
