Abstract (en)

A plant for wrapping products with plastic film comprises a line (11) for conveying the products (12) in sequence and a vertical-wrapping station (13) which is arranged along the line. The station (13) comprises a wrapping system (14) with a strip of film arranged transversely with respect to the line so as to wrap a product which passes through the station. This wrapping system (14) is served by two loading systems which convey when operated a pair of reels to the wrapping system, selecting it from a plurality of pairs. A film change-over device picks up the film from a pair of reels conveyed into the operative position and joins it transversely with respect to the conveying line so that it is applied to the products by the wrapping system. It is thus possible to wrap products with different films by selecting the appropriate pair of reels. For example, the films may differ in height, so as to allow wrapping of products of varying height.
