Abstract (en)

A system for identifying packaging material on a machine (1) for packaging pourable food products and supplied with a packaging material web (6) wound into a reel (25); the system including a transponder (28) fixed to the reel, and an aerial (30) fixed to the machine (2), and which together form a radiofrequency communication system (28, 30). When the reel (25) is loaded onto the machine (1), the data identifying the packaging material used is read automatically in the memory of the transponder and supplied to a control unit, which sets the various machine members; and updated data relative to the packaging material and packaging operations may also be transmitted from the control unit (16) to the transponder (28) and stored for centralized use. <IMAGE>
