PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for binding dry laver bundles comprising reducing footprint areas occupied by a folding device and a bundling device so as to improve a produced amount of dry laver in a laver production line.SOLUTION: The method for binding dry laver bundles comprises the following process: folding a dry laver bundle (A) with a folding machine 2 simultaneously pushing out a plurality of folded dry laver bundles (AA) on a receiving rack 22 while pushing preceding folded dry laver bundles (AA) disposed on the receiving rack 22 waiting ready so as to be transferred on a carry rack 20 elevating with an elevator 4 from the receiving rack 22 perpendicularly raising the transferred folded dry laver bundles (AA) on the carry rack 20 up to the carry-in level of a bundling machine 3 disposed above the folding machine 2 pushing out the folded dry laver bundles to a folded dry laver receiver 25 of the bundling machine 3 from the raised carry rack 20 while pushing the preceding folded dry laver bundles (AA) waiting ready on the dry laver receiver 25 and transferring the bundles to the bundling part of the bundling machine 3 from the folded dry laver receiver 25 to bundle them.COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI【課題】折曲装置と結束装置とが合わせて占める設置面積を小さくすることによって、海苔製造ラインの乾海苔生産量を上げる。【解決手段】乾海苔束Aを折曲機2で折曲げ、折曲げられた複数の折曲乾海苔束AAを同時に受け台22上に押し出すとともに、押し出された折曲乾海苔束AAにより受け台22上に待機している先行の折曲乾海苔束AAを押して受け台22からエレベータ4の昇降する搬送台20上に移し換え、搬送台20上の移し換えられた折曲乾海苔束AAを折曲機2の上方に配置されている結束機3の搬入レベルまで垂直方向に上昇させ、上昇した搬送台20から結束機3の折曲乾海苔受け25へ押出すとともに、乾海苔受け25上に待機している先行の折曲乾海苔束AAを押して折曲乾海苔受け25から結束機3の結束部へ送り、結束する。【選択図】図2
