Definitions

  • the object of the present invention is a labelling machine, integrated into a products labelling line, provided with a long-distance label thrower by air jets and a fine regulation, that throws the label and guides it from the head of the thrower to the package on the conveyor belt.
  • the blow-out system incorporated to the label uncoiling system in the head of the labelling machine, is provided with a pneumatic conduction connected to a nozzle-holder, as well as several nozzles prepared for the pass of the air jets, joined to a plate situated in front of the label tape, producing short blows on certain points of the label, in a programmed and timed way.
  • the device also has an extractor that equilibrates the pressure of the system, and when the label tape passes in front of the plate, it absorbs it and holds it there so that they can be thrown by the air jets from the nozzles, sticking them to the packages.
  • the object of the present invention is to improve the prior art machines in order to obtain a reliable labelling of packages presenting various sizes and shapes.
  • the solution proposed consists of a labelling machine for different packages in continuous line, provided with mechanical means to drive and uncoil the label tape.
  • This tape is driven into a box with an extraction ventilator that creates a vacuum next to the tape, acting as an aspirator of one of the labels on the tape.
  • the label adheres on its non adherent side to a plate with a series of holes with a diameter and arrangement appropriate for the object of the present invention, covering the surface of these holes according to the size of the usual labels of the user.
  • venturi effect created inside the box because of the suction of the interior air originated by the proximity of the nozzle to the internal side of the plate is compensated by the pressure of the extractor impulsion air, regulating the internal pressure of the box and preventing negative secondary effects in the impulsion of air, which must be perfectly controlled, so that the label can be guided in its way from the blowing device to the package.
  • the present invention consists of a mass-labelling machine, provided with driving and uncoiling means for the label tape, that incorporated a blowing and extracting system, consisting first of an extractor (1) that generates a vacuum inside the extraction box (2), next to the label tape (3), extracting one of the labels (4), a plate (5) with a series of holes (6) that holds the label, and on the other side of these holes a series of blowing nozzles (7) arranged in a nozzle holder (11) for air jets of short duration but great intensity, fed by the delivery conduit (8) connected with a body (12) having an internal chamber (13), programmed and timed according to the labelling rate and the characteristics of the packages.
  • a blowing and extracting system consisting first of an extractor (1) that generates a vacuum inside the extraction box (2), next to the label tape (3), extracting one of the labels (4), a plate (5) with a series of holes (6) that holds the label, and on the other side of these holes a series of blowing
  • the impulsion is done so that the label (4) describes a curve-convex figure with respect to the plate (5), for an initial contact of the central part (9) with the package (10), adhering then progressively towards the periphery until it sticks completely to the package.
