Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a labelling machine for printing and applying self-adhesive labels, starting from adhesive tape reels and in particular usable for identification systems, to boxes, small parcels, packages, containers in general, pallets.
  • the present invention relates to labelling machines applying labels in real time and capable to operate also with packages coming from different lines, the labels having also different sizes and content.
  • the labels are formed by an adhesivized substratum (paper, plastic film, etc.) applied on an anti-adhesive support, usually siliconized, constituting the label carrier and release. In the application step the label is printed, removed from the support and applied.
  • an adhesivized substratum paper, plastic film, etc.
  • siliconized siliconized
  • USP 4, 784, 714 discloses a thermal printer and label applicator comprising a transport system 12 for moving linerless thermosensitive paper 14 from a roll 16 to a printing station 18.
  • a cutting station 20 is provided to separate the linerless thermosensitive paper into individual labels.
  • a vacuum system 28 transports the separated individual labels 30 from the cutting station 20 to an adhesive activation station 32, and thereafter to a label ejection station.
  • the transport system 12 include a guide roll 80 and a pair of drive rollers 82, 84, that pull the linerless paper 14 from the roll 16 around the guide roller 80 and thereafter into the printing station 18, formed of a printing head 90 in an operative relationship with a guide roller 92.
  • thermosensitive paper 14 ends, a conventional light emitting diode-type detector 86, placed between the driving rollers 82, 84 and the guide roller 80, stops the thermal printer and label applicator 10. The portion of the linerless thermosensitive paper between the drive rollers 82, 84 and the thermal print head 90 is then removed and replaced with additional linerless thermosensitive paper.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a machine for printing and applying labels on boxes, etc. having the following advantages in comparison with the printing and labelling machines of the prior art:
  • the object of the present invention is accomplished by a machine for printing and applying the labels on containers according to claim 1.
  • the cutting systems can have variable sizes; generally their size is preferably lower than 60 mm, measured along the tape, still more preferably 40 mm. From the working point of view of the applying machine, it is preferable to use cutting systems having the lowest possible size for example 15-40 mm.
  • the unwinding roll (8) is preferably driven by an engine.
  • the applying pad (6) is preferably driven by an electropneumatic device (7).
  • the driving roll (3a) is preferably driven by a motor cyclically inverting the roll rotation direction.
  • the cutting blade (2a) is preferably driven by a linear pneumatic cylinder (2c); the counterblade (2b) is mounted on a plate fixed or oscillating, preferably fixed; the contact between the counterblade (2b) and the blade (2a) is assured by a system (2d) acting on the counterblade (2b) or on the blade (2a); preferably the device (2d) assuring the contact between (2a) and (2b) acts on the mobile blade (2a).
  • the system (2d) can be a spring or a pneumatic cylinder or a pusher.
  • the cutting blade (2a) can have flat or slightly curved vertical section, the bend having a radius generally from 500 mm to 6,000 mm preferably from 1,500 mm to 4,000 mm. A flat blade is preferred.
  • both sides of the blade (2a) and counterblade (2b) are covered with solid anti-adhesives.
  • the anti-adhesive treatment of the blade and counterblade surfaces avoids that the adhesive tape adheres on said surfaces.
  • the anti-adhesive treatment can, for example, be carried out by using materials based on (fluoro)silicones and/or fluoropolymers to obtain anti-adhesive solid coatings.
  • coatings with the commercial name of Plasma Coating ® PC 918F, PC 936, PC 915, PC 915S, PC 934, PC 934S, PC 932, PC 918-C, PC 434, PC 432, 40601/4001F.
  • the driving roll (3a), as said, is made of anti-adherent material, i.e. the adhesive tape (5) does not adhere to the driving roll (3a).
  • the driving roll (3a) is, for example, made by silicone resins, for example silicone rubbers.
  • the engine acting on the driving roll (3a) cyclically inverts the rotation direction.
  • the progress/inversion movement of the engine can for example be programmed by modifying the printing group firmware.
  • the distance covered preferably corresponds to a space from 1 mm to L mm, wherein L is the distance, reported in Fig. 3, between the cutting blade and the printing head.
  • L depends on the cutting system volume (size); generally it is comprised between 15 and 60 mm.
  • the back movement of the tape depends on the printing requirements. For example, when the print zone starts at a distance of 2 mm from the upper edge of the label, the moving back space is L - 2. With upper edge of the label it is meant the label side coming out first from the printing head.
  • the Applicant has indeed surprisingly and unexpectedly found that, with the labelling machine of the present invention it is possible to print the adhesivized tape even near the upper edge of the label.
  • the support film of the adhesive tape forming the labels has a thickness from about 30 micron to about 80 micron, preferably from 50 micron to 60 micron.
  • the adhesive amount spread on the support film, calculated on the dry product ranges from 10 to 30 g/m 2 , preferably from 15 to 22 g/m 2 .
  • the labels have various sizes depending on the requirements.
  • the label width depends on the tape used.
  • the tape width is up to 180 mm, usually from 10 mm to 180 mm, preferably from 30 mm to 150 mm; the length is variable, for example up to 250 mm, generally from 20 mm to 200 mm, preferably from 30 mm to 180 mm.
  • the preferred tape for the labelling system is in plastic material with the internal side adhesivized.
  • the tape is preferably formed of bioriented polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, or also laminates, or plastic coupled articles in general.
  • the used adhesive is available on the market and is selected among those allowing a permanent adhesion.
  • the adhesive is preferably a water acrylic adhesive, in aqueous emulsion form, based on a C 3 -C 5 ester of the acrylic acid, for example butyl acrylate, or a "hot melt” adhesive formed of thermoplastic rubbers and hydrocarbon resins in general.
  • the printing group (3) is carried out by a driving roll of anti-adherent material (3a) on which the adhesive tape to be printed (5) arrives.
  • the tape (5) passes between the driving roll (3a) and the head (3b)
  • Another system to pass the tape (5) between the driving roll (3a) and the head (3b) is to advance the tape (5) towards the printing group (3) in contact with a conveyor belt (3c), see Fig. 5, said conveyor belt coming into contact with the adhesive side of the tape (5) through a roll (3e) downhill of the unwinding system of the reel (1), by passing with the tape between the driving roll (3a) and the head (3b), and being then engaged by the bar (3d), placed before the cutting group (2), around which it turns detaching itself from the tape; the conveyor belt is then engaged by the roll (3e) and brought again into contact with the tape (5) advancing towards the printing group (3).
  • the contact between the printing head (3b) with the adhesive tape to be printed (5) and the conveyor belt (3c) is carried out through a driving roll (3a).
  • the driving roll (3a) is of anti-adherent material.
  • the material of the driving roll (3a) can, for example, be selected among those commonly used for the roll manufacture.
  • the conveyor belt (3c) must be of anti-adherent material, or the conveyor belt surface, coming into contact with the tape adhesive side, is coated with anti-adherent material.
  • the driving roll (3a) drives the tape (5) in the first embodiment of Fig. 1 and Fig. 3, or drives both the tape (5) and the conveyor belt (3c) in the embodiment of Fig. 5 and Fig. 6.
  • the conveyor belt (3c), as said, is carried out in anti-adherent material; the adhesive tape (5) does not adhere to the belt (3c).
  • the belt (3c) is formed, for example, by a composite formed, for example, by an external layer of silicone resins, for example silicone rubbers, spread on a flexible material support, for example a natural or synthetic fiber cloth.
  • the conveyor belt has a width not smaller than that of the label (tape (5)), generally the width is about 180 mm.
  • the belt length is determined by the distance between the roll axes (3a) and (3e), generally the distance is in the range 30 mm-500 mm, preferably 200-300 mm.
  • the bar (3d) is preferably formed of a wear-lasting material of the conveyor belt (3c) passage.
  • the bar is of metal, special steels, for example tempered steels, etc.
  • the bar (3d) length is shorter than length L.
  • the working process of the labelling machine is the following.
  • Tape (5) see Fig. 1, is unwound from the reel (1) by the unwinding system comprising an unwinding roll (8) and a tape tensioning device (9), proceeds into the printing group (3) for the label print.
  • the tape (5) enters the cutting system (2) moving in a direction perpendicular to the cutting blade (2a) ; the blade (2a) cuts the tape maintaining an inclination, preferably constant, the contact point between the blade (2a) and counterblade (2b) during the cut moves transversally in a continuous way through the tape section (5) .
  • the printed label is immediately applied on the container by the applying pad (6) (Fig. 1).
  • the adhesive tape (5) is moved backward by the driving roll (3a), to allow to the printing head (3b) to start printing near the upper edge of the label being formed. At this point the tape (5) proceeds again into the cutting system (2), a new label is cut and the cycle starts again.
  • the backward tape movement under the printing head, after the label application, represents a remarkable advantage of the labelling machine of the present invention in comparison with the prior art as the available surface of the label is substantially completely used.
  • lubricating oils which could stain the label and the container is not required.
  • the use of lubricating oils is rather critical, especially for food packages, since they represent a critical contamination source for the rules and procedures HATCH (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points). According to these rules the oil must not come into contact, directly or indirectly, with the food or their packages. Furthermore oil traces on the adhesive part of the label reduce the adhesion on the package.
  • the label printing is preferably carried out by the thermal transfer process.
  • the label text is previously programmed by the user, for example' with a software inside a PC.
  • the text written on the label contains for example the following information: identification code of the product, of the customer, supplier, producer, etc. and can be personalized as desired.
  • the management program it is possible to memorize labels having different features as regards both the format and the text (logo, firm data, production codes, expiry dates, etc.). In connection with the production requirements the labels are recalled from the memory, made and applied on the product on the packaging line.
  • the tape substitution with a tape of different sizes, bringing the new label to be printed, is not required provided that the label sizes are compatible with the tape strip, i.e. they have the same tape width.
  • the label sizes are compatible with the tape strip, i.e. they have the same tape width.
  • the printing/labelling machine of the present invention allows to obtain labels having a variable length in function of the content or the text of the labels. This represents a remarkable advantage with respect to the systems of the prior art, wherein labels having a fixed format are used. In these known systems when the label length is to be changed, it is necessary to change the label reel with the desired format. Furthermore another advantage of the present invention machine is that the siliconized support of the punched labels, the label punching step and the consequent waste are avoided.
  • the present invention machine is advantageous in comparison with the machine of the comparative Example 3 since with the latter it is not possible to apply in real time the last printed label.
  • the cut number (cycles) of the machine according to the present invention depends on the label length. For labels having a format for example of 80 x 60 mm the cut number is of the order of 10-50 strokes/minute at most. From the industrial point of view the labelling machine of the present invention assures a very high productivity.
  • the label application can be carried out with various systems. For example, in Fig. 1 it is reported a piston system (7) to apply the labels on the upper part of the container.
  • the printed label is immediately applied on the container through an applying pad (6).
  • the adhesive tape (5) with the belt (3c) is moved backward by the driving roll (3a), to allow the printing head (3b) to start printing near the upper edge of the label being formed; the tape (5) enters again the cutting system (2), a new label is cut and the cycle continues.
  • a further advantage of the present machine is that it is not necessary to have available tapes with prepunched labels having a different format (length) according to the production requirements.
  • the printing pitch determines the size of the label itself through an optical reading system (photocell (4) of Fig. 4) determining the cutting position.
  • the printing method used is the thermal transfer method.
  • the distance between the printing unit (3) and the cutting unit (2) is 240 mm.
  • the tape driving roll (3a) is represented.
  • the comparative Examples 3 and 4 wherein the comparative labelling machine of Fig. 4 is used, show a lower performance of the comparative labelling machine in comparison with the labelling machine according to the invention of Fig. 1 (see the Examples 1 and 2).
  • the machine is connected to a computer with a management program allowing to print on the formats the requested information.
  • the boxes which have been labelled had 380 X 250 X 300 mm sizes.
  • the applied labels had 120 X 80 mm sizes and have been formed by directly cutting the tape of a 50 ⁇ m polypropylene reel adhesivized with acrylic adhesive Primal ® PS 83d (Rohm & Haas), weight 20-22 g/m 2 , having a width of 120 mm and a length of 800 m.
  • the following product information was printed by a thermal transfer printer: product type, number of pieces contained in the box, lot number, bar code, progressive package number, date, exact hour of the label application.
  • the information was distributed on the whole label surface, up to a distance of 2 mm from the upper edge.
  • the last label printed by the machine was applied in a real time on the first container moving to the labelling station.
  • the line working was continuous on a daily workshift of 8 hours.
  • the line production speed was 18-20 boxes/minute.
  • no inconveniences on the machine occurred and to each package a label was applied bearing the above information.
  • the printed and applied labels resulted equal to the model prepared on the computer.
  • the labelling process with the labelling machine according to the present invention does not show any inconvenience from the industrial point of view, even though one or more packages are removed from the line uphill of the labelling machine for the most various reasons, for example due to unsuitable packaging. Even in this case it is possible to maintain the progressive number of the box packaging.
  • the labelling machine of the Example 1 is placed on a collecting conveying tape on which three packaging lines of three different products join, made up in packages having the following sizes:
  • the labels were applied in a real time on one of the two sides of the box having a lower perimeter.
  • the used reel was of the same type as that used in the Example 1.
  • the detector sends a signal to the printer which, on the basis of the collection of the label formats available in the own database residing on personal computer, prints and applies in real time on the box in transit under the labelling station a label bearing the information concerning the product identified by the origin line, along with the date and the transit time.
  • the line working was continuous on a daily workshift of 8 hours.
