(54) A device for feeding and cutting film in machines for conditioning products


(57) A device for feeding and cutting a continuous film (2) to a station (5) for wrapping products (4) is applied to a conditioning machine or line (3) comprising a station (6) for positioning and feeding products (4) which are mobile, one after another and in a direction of feed (V), on a conveyor surface (7) along the machine (3) between the positioning station (6) and the wrapping station (5). The film (2) is located between the surface (7) and the base (4a) of the products (4), where they pass close to a first slot (25) in the conveyor surface (7), and the film (2) proceeds as one with the products (4) along the surface (7). The conditioning line (3) also comprises cutting means (13) for forming a piece (2a) of film (2), these means being located at the conveyor surface (7), downstream of the first slot (25) and upstream of the wrapping station (5) according to the direction of feed (V). The cutting means (13) operate at the gap between successive products (4).
