Abstract

The invention relates to a device for the removal of labels 7 and film coverings 8 adhering to containers 4 at different heights. The containers are clamped axially between a rotating plate 2 and a clamping head 3 on the circumference of a turntable 1. High pressure nozzles 5, 6 are assigned to each clamping location on the inside of the containers 4, the jets from which are directed approximately at a tangent to the surface of each container 4 so that they detach the label 7 and the film covering 8 in one peeling process and deliver these radially outwards to a collecting device 11 which is equipped with a sorting gate 12 for separation of the labels 7 and film coverings 8 occurring at differing heights. The peeling process is simplified if a separating layer is provided between the layer of adhesive and the label in the case of labels stuck on with adhesive. <IMAGE>

Description

Bei mit Etiketten beklebten Mehrwegbehältern, insbesondere Mehrwegflaschen, ist es vor deren Neubefüllung notwendig, sie innen und außen zu reinigen, wobei in einem Waschprozeß die aufgeklebten Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte von der Behälteroberfläche entfernt werden. Damit das Ablösen der Etiketten und insbesondere der Folienzuschnitte gelingt, sind der Waschflüssigkeit Lösemittel zugesetzt. Diese zum Teil aggressiven Lösungsmittel, aber auch die durch dieses Lösungsmittel aufgelösten Teile der Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte machen es aus Gründen einer möglichst geringen Umweltbelastung notwendig, daß aufwendige Aufbereitungsverfahren der Waschflüssigkeit angewandt werden. In Kenntnis dieser Problematik hat man seit langem versucht, alternative Wege beim Einsatz von mit Etiketten und Folienzuschnitten zu versehenden Mehrwegbehältern zu gehen.In the case of reusable containers stuck with labels, in particular reusable bottles, it is necessary to clean them inside and out before refilling them, the glued-on labels and film blanks being removed from the surface of the container in a washing process. Solvents are added to the washing liquid so that the labels and in particular the film blanks can be removed. These partly aggressive solvents, but also the parts of the labels and film cuts which are dissolved by this solvent, make it necessary, for reasons of the lowest possible environmental impact, that elaborate preparation processes of the washing liquid are used. In the knowledge of this problem, attempts have long been made to take alternative paths when using reusable containers to be provided with labels and film cuts.

Während bisher Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte nach rückseitiger Beleimung an den Behältern angeklebt wurden, werden neuerdings Etiketten eingesetzt, die auf ihrer Rückseite mit einer mittels verschiedener Medien aktivierbaren Substanz versehen sind (DE 35 08 150 A1). Wegen der aktivierbaren Substanz lassen sich die an dem Behälter haftenden Etiketten nach erneuter Aktivierung der Substanz durch Strahlen, beispielsweise Druckluft oder Wasser, oder Bürsten entfernen. Dabei bleiben die Etiketten oder Folien in ihrer Substanz erhalten. Für die Praxis taugliche Erfolge hat man mit dieser Art des Ablösens von Etiketten und Folienzuschnitten von den Behältern allerdings nicht erzielt.While previously labels and film blanks were glued to the containers after gluing on the back, labels are now being used that are on your The back are provided with a substance that can be activated by means of various media (DE 35 08 150 A1). Because of the activatable substance, the labels adhering to the container can be removed by means of jets, for example compressed air or water, or brushes after the substance has been reactivated. The substance of the labels or foils is retained. Successful practical results have, however, not been achieved with this type of detaching labels and film blanks from the containers.

Ferner ist eine Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von auf Flaschen haftenden Etiketten und Folienzuschnitten bekannt (DE-GM 86 30 471), die nach Art eines herkömmlichen Drehtisches in einer Etikettierstation ausgebildet ist, bei der also die Flaschen zwischen einem Drehteller und einem Spannkopf axial eingespannt sind. Als mechanisch wirkende Trennelemente sind den eingespannten Flaschen auf dem Drehtisch angeordnete, auf die Etiketten einwirkende rotierende Bürsten zugeordnet. Auch diese Vorrichtung ist bis heute in der Praxis noch nicht eingesetzt worden.Furthermore, a device for removing labels and film blanks adhering to bottles is known (DE-GM 86 30 471), which is designed in the manner of a conventional turntable in a labeling station, in which the bottles are thus clamped axially between a turntable and a clamping head. Rotating brushes which act on the labels and are arranged on the turntable and act on the labels are assigned as mechanically acting separating elements. This device has also not yet been used in practice.

Der Gegenstand der Erfindung ist eine Vorrichtung zum Entfernen von auf Behältern, insbesondere Flaschen, in unterschiedlicher Höhe haftenden Etiketten und Folienzuschnitten, bestehend aus einem einen Einlauf und einen Auslauf für die Behälter aufweisenden Drehtisch, an dessen Umfang die Behälter zwischen einem angetriebenen Drehteller und einem Spannkopf axial einspannbar sind, und aus auf dem Drehtisch innenseitig von den Behältern angeordneten, auf die Etiketten und die Folienzuschnitte der eingespannten Behälter ablösend einwirkenden Trennelementen.The object of the invention is a device for removing labels and film cuts adhering to containers, in particular bottles, at different heights, consisting of a rotary table having an inlet and an outlet for the containers, on the circumference of which the containers are between a driven turntable and a clamping head are axially clamped, and from separating elements arranged on the inside of the containers on the turntable, which act on the labels and the film blanks of the clamped containers.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, bei einer solchen Vorrichtung sowohl das Ablösen der Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte von den Behältern zu verbessern, als auch Mittel vorzusehen, die ein getrenntes Abführen der verschiedenartigen Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte aus dem Bereich des Drehtisches sicherstellen.The invention is based, in such a device both the detachment of the labels and the task To improve film cuts from the containers, as well as to provide means that ensure separate removal of the different types of labels and film cuts from the area of the turntable.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß bei einer Vorrichtung der vorgenannten Art dadurch gelöst, daß die Trennelemente als Hochdruckdüsen ausgebildet sind, deren Strahlen mit im wesentlichen radial nach außen gerichteter Strahlrichtung zumindest annähernd tangential auf die Oberfläche des zu drehenden Behälters derart auftreffen, daß bei Drehung des Behälters dessen Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte in den Bereich der Strahlen mit den Strahlen zugekehrten freiliegenden Vorderkanten gelangen, und daß am Außenrand des Drehtisches eine stationäre Sammelvorrichtung mit Weiche für die Trennung der in unterschiedlicher Höhe anfallenden, von den Strahlen abgelösten und radial nach außen geförderten Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte angeordnet ist.This object is achieved in a device of the aforementioned type in that the separating elements are designed as high-pressure nozzles, the jets of which impinge at least approximately tangentially on the surface of the container to be rotated with a radially outwardly directed direction such that when the container rotates, the latter Labels and film blanks get into the area of the beams with the exposed front edges facing the beams, and that a stationary collecting device with a switch is arranged on the outer edge of the rotary table with a switch for separating the labels and film blanks which come from the beams at different heights and are conveyed radially outwards .

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung schälen die Strahlen die Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte von der Oberfläche des Behälters ab und sorgen gleichzeitig dafür, daß sie aus dem Bereich des Drehtisches radial nach außen der Sammelvorrichtung zugeführt werden. Für die getrennte Abfuhr der verschiedenartigen Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte wird die Tatsache ausgenutzt, daß die Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte in unterschiedlicher Höhe an den Behältern angebracht sind, so daß allein die Beförderung der Etiketten radial nach außen in Verbindung mit der Weiche die getrennte Abfuhr der Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte sicherstellt.In the device according to the invention, the jets peel the labels and film blanks from the surface of the container and at the same time ensure that they are fed radially outward from the region of the turntable to the collecting device. For the separate removal of the different types of labels and film blanks, the fact is used that the labels and film blanks are attached to the containers at different heights, so that only the transport of the labels radially outwards in connection with the switch means the separate removal of the labels and film blanks ensures.

Das Abschälen der Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte durch die Strahlen wird erleichtert, wenn die Etiketten rückseitig mit einem Trennmittel versehen sind. Auch beim Einsatz eines solchen Trennmittels können die Etiketten auf herkömmlichen Etikettiermaschinen mit Leim an den Behältern angeklebt werden. In diesem Fall wirkt wegen der geringeren Haftung das Trennmittel als Soll-Trennschicht, so daß je nach Art des Strahlenmediums mehr oder weniger Leim an der Behälteroberfläche verbleibt. Dieser an der Behälteroberfläche verbleibende Leim stellt kein Problem dar, weil die Behälter anschließend ohnehin einem Waschprozeß zugeführt werden. Entscheidend ist, daß bei diesem Waschprozeß die Waschflüssigkeit von Etiketten und Folienzuschnitten freigehalten wird. Deshalb ist dessen Regenerierung weniger aufwendig. Entsprechendes gilt für das Medium der Strahlen, beispielsweise Wasser, denn auch hier werden die Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte aus dem Prozeß entfernt.Peeling off the labels and film blanks by the jets is made easier if the labels are provided with a release agent on the back. Even when using a such a release agent, the labels can be glued to the containers on conventional labeling machines with glue. In this case, because of the lower adhesion, the release agent acts as a target release layer, so that depending on the type of radiation medium, more or less glue remains on the container surface. This glue remaining on the surface of the container is not a problem because the containers are then fed into a washing process anyway. It is crucial that the washing liquid is kept free of labels and film blanks in this washing process. Therefore, its regeneration is less expensive. The same applies to the medium of the jets, for example water, because here too the labels and film blanks are removed from the process.

Im Fall von Rundumetiketten und Folienzuschnitten überlappen die seitlichen Enden der Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte einander, so daß es nur eine freie Kante gibt. Damit auch diese freie Kante von den Strahlen vorderseitig erfaßt werden kann, ist nach einer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, daß die Drehteller für Rechts- und Linkslauf eingerichtet sind und dem Einspannplatz eines jeden Behälters zwei Sätze Hochdruckdüsen zugeordnet sind, von denen der eine Satz bei Rechtslauf und der andere Satz bei Linkslauf wirksam sind.In the case of wrap-around labels and film cuts, the lateral ends of the labels and film cuts overlap one another so that there is only one free edge. So that this free edge can be detected by the rays from the front, it is provided according to one embodiment of the invention that the turntables are set up for clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation and two sets of high-pressure nozzles are assigned to the clamping position of each container, one set of which for clockwise rotation and the other set are effective for counterclockwise rotation.

Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand einer ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellenden Zeichnung erläutert. Im einzelnen zeigen:

In the following the invention will be explained with reference to a drawing showing an embodiment. In detail show:
Figure 1
a device for removing labels and film cuts adhering to bottles in a schematic representation in side view and
Figure 2
the device of Figure 1 in an enlarged detail in supervision.

Die Vorrichtung besteht aus einem Drehtisch 1 mit einem in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellten, beispielsweise als Einlaufstern ausgebildeten Einlauf und einem, beispielsweise als Auslaufstern ausgebildeten Auslauf für Flaschen. An seinem Umfang weist der Drehtisch angetriebene Drehteller 2 und frei drehbare Spannköpfe 3 auf, zwischen denen Flaschen 4 axial eingespannt sind. Die Drehteller 2 sind von Rechts- auf Linkslauf umschaltbar. Der Drehtisch 1 weist ferner auf der Innenseite der einzuspannenden Flaschen 4 Hochdruckdüsen 5,6 auf, die jedem Einspannplatz zugeordnet sind. Die Hochdruckdüsen 5,6 sind in unterschiedlicher Höhe entsprechend einem am Flaschenrumpf angebrachten Etikett 7 und einem am Flaschenhals angebrachten Folienzuschnitt 8 angeordnet. Wie durch die Pfeile angedeutet, lassen sie sich in der Höhe, aber auch radial auf die abzulösenden Etiketten und Folienzuschnitte ausrichten.The device consists of a turntable 1 with an inlet, not shown in the drawing, for example in the form of an inlet star, and an outlet, for example in the form of an outlet star, for bottles. On its circumference, the turntable has driven turntables 2 and freely rotatable clamping heads 3, between which bottles 4 are clamped axially. The turntable 2 can be switched from clockwise to counterclockwise rotation. The turntable 1 also has 4 high-pressure nozzles 5, 6 on the inside of the bottles to be clamped, which are assigned to each clamping station. The high-pressure nozzles 5, 6 are arranged at different heights in accordance with a label 7 attached to the bottle body and a film blank 8 attached to the bottle neck. As indicated by the arrows, they can be aligned in height, but also radially on the labels and film cuts to be removed.

Wie aus Figur 2 zu entnehmen ist, sind die Strahlen 10 der Hochdruckdüsen 5 tangential auf die Oberfläche der Flaschen 5 derart gerichtet, daß die Strahlen 10 bei Drehung der Flasche 4 die freiliegende Vorderkante des Etiketts 7 dem Strahl 10 zukehren, so daß dieser in der Lage ist, das Etikett 7 abzuschälen, wie in Figur 2 für verschiedene Phasen dargestellt ist.As can be seen from FIG. 2, the jets 10 of the high-pressure nozzles 5 are directed tangentially onto the surface of the bottles 5 such that the jets 10, when the bottle 4 rotates, turn the exposed front edge of the label 7 towards the jet 10, so that it is in the Is able to peel off the label 7, as shown in Figure 2 for different phases.

Am Außenumfang des Flaschenträgers 1 ist eine stationäre Sammelvorrichtung 11 für die von den Strahlen 10 abgelösten und radial nach außen transportierten Etiketten 7' und Folienzuschnitte angeordnet. Diese Sammelvorrichtung weist eine Weiche 12 auf, die die in unterschiedlicher Höhe anfallenden Etiketten 7 und Folienzuschnitte 8 trennt und als ringförmige Rinnen ausgebildeten Sammelbehältern 14,15 zufördert. Der Boden dieser Sammelbehälter 14,15 wird von Sieben 16,17 gebildet, so daß das anfallende Wasser der Strahlen einem Feinstfilter 18 und einer Pumpe 19 zugeleitet und von hier den Hochdruckstrahldüsen wieder zugeführt werden kann. Die nach ihrer Art getrennten Etiketten 7 und Folienzuschnitte 8 werden von Hand oder über nicht dargestellte mechanische Förderer aus den rinnenförmigen Behältern 14,15 entfernt und gepreßt und stehen gegebenenfalls für Recycling zur Verfügung.Arranged on the outer circumference of the bottle carrier 1 is a stationary collecting device 11 for the labels 7 'and film blanks which have been detached from the jets 10 and are transported radially outwards. This collecting device has a switch 12 which separates the labels 7 and film blanks 8 which are produced at different heights and conveyed as annular troughs collecting containers 14,15. The bottom of this collecting container 14, 15 is formed by sieves 16, 17, so that the water of the jets is fed to a fine filter 18 and a pump 19 and can be fed back from here to the high-pressure jet nozzles. The labels 7 and film blanks 8, which are separated according to their type, are removed from the trough-shaped containers 14, 15 and pressed by hand or via mechanical conveyors (not shown) and are optionally available for recycling.

Solange nur Etiketten von Flaschen mit beidseitig freiliegenden oder zu einer bestimmten Seite freiliegenden Kanten von den Behältern gelöst werden sollen, kommt man mit einer Hochdruckstrahldüse aus, weil bei Drehung des Behälters die freiliegende Kante in jedem Fall in den Wirkungsbereich des Strahls gebracht werden kann. Bei einander überlappenden Etiketten und Folienzuschnitten ist es dagegen erforderlich, jeder eingespannten Flasche 4 auf beiden Seiten eine Strahldüse zuzuordnen, damit im Zusammenwirken mit der wechselnden Drehrichtung der Flaschen 4 die freiliegende Kante dem einen oder anderen Strahl zugekehrt wird.As long as only labels from bottles with edges exposed on both sides or exposed to a certain side are to be detached from the containers, a high-pressure jet nozzle is sufficient because when the container is rotated, the exposed edge can in any case be brought into the effective range of the jet. In the case of overlapping labels and film blanks, on the other hand, it is necessary to assign each clamped bottle 4 a jet nozzle on both sides, so that in cooperation with the changing direction of rotation of the bottles 4 the exposed edge is turned towards one or the other jet.

Es versteht sich, daß die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung auch für Behälter eingesetzt werden kann, die nur mit einem einzigen Etikett, also ohne Folienzuschnitt, etikettiert sind. In diesem Fall ist die obere Hochdruckdüse 6 unwirksam. Das bedeutet, daß in diesem Fall auch auf den zweiten Behälter 14 verzichtet werden kann. Auf die Weiche kann verzichtet werden, wenn eine Trennung von Etiketten und Folienzuschnitten nicht erforderlich ist. In jedem Fall bleibt das Prinzip erhalten, daß durch den Strahl das Etikett und gegebenenfalls die Folienzuschnitte nicht nur abgelöst, sondern auch radial nach außen einem Sammelbehälter zugefördert werden.It goes without saying that the device according to the invention can also be used for containers which are only labeled with a single label, that is to say without a film cut. In this case, the upper high pressure nozzle 6 is ineffective. This means that the second container 14 can also be dispensed with in this case. The switch can be omitted if it is not necessary to separate labels and film cuts. In any case, the principle remains that the jet not only detaches the label and possibly the film cuts, but also conveys it radially outward to a collecting container.
