A packing wheel (1) for conveying products (2) for packing and sheets (S) of packing material along an endless packing path (P) extending about a central axis (9); the packing wheel (1) has a main shaft (12) coaxial with the central axis (9) and rotating continuously about the central axis (9); a number of sectors (19), each of which is connected idly to the main shaft (12), is mounted to rotate about the central axis (9), and has a number of packing pockets (23) movable along the packing path (P) and for receiving respective products (2); and a number of angular connecting devices (24), each of which connects a respective sector (19) angularly to the main shaft (12) to derive motion from the main shaft (12) and rotate the sector (19) about the central axis (9) with a variable law of motion, so that the sectors (19) may have different angular speeds at the same time.
