The process for wrapping loads, in particular palletised loads, comprises the following phases: providing a rotating platform that is suitable for receiving a load to be wrapped and which has advancement means for advancing the load in an advancing direction, and a movement machine for moving a wrapping head along a substantially vertical direction for co-operating with the rotating platform to wrap the load with a covering sheet, the wrapping head having cutting means for cutting the covering sheet to form a cut end, and joining means for connecting the cut end to the load;placing the load to be wrapped on the rotating platform;wrapping the load on the rotating platform with the covering sheet to define a stabilizing wrap;turning the rotating platform so the advancing direction is towards the wrapping head;advancing the wrapped load on the rotating platform in the direction approaching the wrapping head until located in proximity to the head itself; and thencutting the covering sheet to form a cut end;joining the cut end to the wrapped load.

1. A process for wrapping loads, in particular palletised loads, comprising the following steps: providing at least one rotating platform for receiving at least one load to be wrapped, advancement means for advancing said load in an advancing direction, and at least one movement machine for moving a wrapping head in a substantially vertical direction, for co-operating with said rotating platform to wrap said load with a covering sheet, said wrapping head having a cutter for severing of said covering sheet in order to form a cut end and joining means for connecting said cut end, to said load;placing said load to be wrapped on said rotating platform;wrapping said load on said rotating platform with said covering sheet to define a stabilising wrap;turning said rotating platform until said advancing direction is towards said wrapping head;advancing said wrapped load on said rotating platform in the direction approaching said wrapping head until in proximity of the head itself;cutting said covering sheet to form said cut end;joining said cut end to said wrapped load. 2. The process according to claim 1, wherein said load to be wrapped proceeds along an approaching line that is aligned with the advancing direction of the rotating platform. 3. The process according to claim 1, wherein said wrapping head slides along a substantially vertical post with which the wrapping head is engaged. 4. The process according to claim 3, wherein said wrapping comprises making said rotating platform turn while said wrapping head slides along said post. 5. The process according to claim 1, wherein said process includes applying a pressing element in contact with the top of said load during said wrapping. 6. The process according to claim 5, wherein said process comprises rotating said pressing element in synchronization with said rotating platform during said wrapping. 7. The process according to claim 5, wherein said process involves moving said pressing element away from the top of said wrapped load before advancing said load towards said wrapping head. 8. The process according to claim 1, wherein said cutter approaches said covering sheet to sever same. 9. The process according to claim 8, including heating the cutter prior to contact with the covering sheet. 10. The process according to claim 1, further comprises sealing said cut end to said stabilising wrap. 11. The process according to claim 10, further comprises applying at least one heated pad to said cut end of said stabilising wrap. 12. The process according to claim 1, further comprises advancing said wrapped load on said rotating platform in the moving away direction from said wrapping head. 13. The process according to claim 12, further comprises turning said rotating platform until said advancing direction is towards the discharger line for said wrapped load. 14. The process according to claim 13, further comprises advancing said wrapped load on said rotating platform until placing said wrapped load on said moving away line. 15. The process according to claim 1, further comprises advancing said load on said rotating platform by utilizing at least one conveyor mounted on said rotating platform.
