  • the glue roller 13 is provided with individual glue strips 16 which are wetted by an application head 17 with a layer of glue.
  • the entire adhesive application unit 11 is provided with an adjusting means 18 for adjusting the angle to specific rotational angle positions of the containers 6 on the rotary carrier 2.
  • the structure of the conveyor belt section 1 is explained in more detail with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5
  • the position relative to the schematically indicated rotary support 2 in a label transfer area 19 in FIG. 2 is related to a specific average container size 6A, the conveyor belt section 1 affecting the container circumference.
  • 6B and 6C are dashed lines indicating smaller or larger container diameters, on which the conveyor belt section 1 can be adjusted in a manner described later.
  • the conveyor belt section 1 is composed of a plurality of conveyor belts 21 running parallel to one another, of which more or fewer conveyor belts are used depending on the width of the labels to be processed.
  • the entire conveyor belt section 1 is fixed by an upper housing plate 22 and a lower housing plate 23, only the lower housing plate 23 being shown in FIG. 2 and the upper housing plate 22 being omitted.
  • the conveyor belts 21 are guided around a drive roller arrangement 24, a deflection roller arrangement 26 and a common deflection roller 27, the axes of rotation of which are aligned perpendicularly or parallel to the uprightly conveyed containers 6.
  • the drive roller arrangement 24 can be driven by a motor 28 which is controllable in speed via a drive belt 29 and a pulley 31 such that the conveyor belts 21 run in the label transfer area 19 in synchronism with the rotary carrier 2 and with the containers 6 in the direction of the arrow 30.
