Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1686059A1] An apparatus for packaging products (1) comprises: a first conveyor (4) and a second conveyor (5) for transporting products (1) along a feed line (A); the first conveyor (4) is adjustable in length so that it can move towards and away from the second conveyor (5); a portal frame (6) positioned at the first conveyor (4) for mounting a plurality of pairs of rolls (7, 8); actuating means (9) for moving the rolls (7, 8) of a selected pair away from each other in a vertical direction for positioning a section of film (2) transversely to the feed line (A); means (10) for guiding the selected film (2) and forming a broken-line configuration intercepted by the products (1); each roll (7, 8) is placed inside a respective bin (13, 14); each pair of bins (13, 14) containing a respective pair of rolls (7, 8) and being mobile, thanks to suitable means (17), between a working position in which the rolls (7, 8) are positioned under the first conveyor (4) and an idle position in which the pair of bins (13, 14) has moved in a direction (P) perpendicular to the feed line (A) to a position outside the space defined by the first conveyor (4) and the portal frame 6.
