Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus for drying external (i.e. outer) surfaces of containers to be labelled, comprising:
- systems are used which provide, in succession with a continuous process, for filling, drying and labelling containers.
- the process of drying the containers is very important for an optimal completion of the labelling process.
- drying apparatuses are known, e.g. of the type comprising a drying tunnel within which the containers (constituted for example by filled and sealed glass bottles) are transported. Within the tunnel is present a plurality of nozzles that blow hot air onto the containers transported within the tunnel. In this way, at the exit of the tunnel the containers have dry and slightly warm outer surfaces, this constituting the optimal condition for the action of the labelling machine.
- the containers, at the exit from the drying tunnel are not introduced into the labelling machine immediately (especially at high speeds), but, passing on another chain, they undergo a slow-down aimed at preserving the integrity of the labelling machine itself.
- a certain time interval elapses from the instant when a container exits the drying tunnel to the instant in which it is introduced into the labelling machine.
- condensation may form on the outer surface of the containers, especially if they are filled with a cold liquid. In this case, the formation of condensation compromises the successful outcome of the labelling process, regardless of the effectiveness of the drying step.
- An object of the present invention is to eliminate the aforesaid drawbacks and to make available an apparatus for drying outer surfaces of containers to be labelled, able to maintain said surfaces dry from the instant in which they are dried to the instant in which they are labelled, even if the containers are filled with a very cold liquid.
- the reference 1 indicates an apparatus for drying outer surfaces of containers 2 to be labelled.
- the containers 2 are constituted, for example, by glass bottles, but they may also be of a different kind, e.g. made of PET.
- the apparatus 1 comprises a drying tunnel 3 having an entry 4 and an exit 5 and provided with nozzles 6 to blow air within the tunnel 3 onto the containers 2 transiting in the tunnel 3.
- the apparatus 1 further comprises means for transporting the containers 2 within the drying tunnel 3 from the entry 4 to the exit 5.
- Said transport means are constituted, in the illustrated example, by a conveyor belt 7.
- the apparatus 1 originally comprises a conduit 8 connecting the drying tunnel 3 a labelling machine 9, in which the containers 2 are made to transit by the transport means.
- the apparatus 1 also comprises, originally, air conditioning means operatively active in the conduit 8 to define therein an air conditioned environment within which the containers 2 move between the exit 5 of the drying tunnel 3 and the labelling machine 9, in such a way as to prevent condensation from forming on the outer surface of the dried containers 2.
- the air conditioning means 10 comprise a unit for drying the air within the conduit 3, to maintain the humidity of said air conditioned environment at a predetermined value.
- the air conditioning means 10 comprise a unit for heating the air within the conduit 8, to maintain the temperature of said air conditioned environment at a predetermined value.
- conduit 8 comprises inspection means 11, to allow access to the containers 2 within the conduit 8.
- the transport means comprise a slowing station, positioned within the conduit, to reduce the speed of transit of the containers fed to the labelling machine.
- the transport means comprise a conveyor belt 12 (constituting substantially an extension of the conveyor belt 7) and the slowing station comprises a supplementary conveyor belt 13 flanking the conveyor belt 12.
- the drying tunnel 3 comprises one or more manifolds 14, connected to the nozzles 6 and to one or more blowing elements 15 (constituted for example by pushing fans), able to feed the nozzles 6, through the manifold 14, with a forced circulation of air (slightly warm because it is subjected to a certain pressure, e.g. to a pressure of about 200 mbar).
- blowing elements 15 constituted for example by pushing fans
- the apparatus 1 comprises means for cooling the blowing elements, this guaranteeing, advantageously, a particularly effective and quiet drying process.
- the apparatus 1 comprising also, originally, regulating means, operatively active on the nozzles 6 within the drying tunnel to change their position according to the dimensions of the treated containers 2.
- said regulating means provide for the use of articulated arms 16 at whose ends are connected the nozzles 6.
- the apparatus 1 originally provides for the nozzles 6 within the drying tunnel 3 to define openings to blow air that are shaped according to the shape and size of the treated containers 2, in order to maximise the flow rate of blown air interacting with the outer surfaces of the containers 2.
- the air conditioning means 10 are able to define an air conditioned environment that also extends to an inner portion of the labelling machine 9.
- said inner portion of the labelling machine 9 subjected to air conditioning thanks to the effect of the air conditioning means 10 consists of the entry portion of the labelling machine 9, in which the containers 2 are handled, in a step immediately preceding the actual labelling step.
- the apparatus 1 also comprises a sound-proofing structure applied externally to the drying tunnel 3.
- the conduit 8 has a length of about 1500 mm and it is so constructed as to assure a perfect continuity between the drying apparatus and the labelling machine.
- the apparatus of the present invention assures a transfer of the containers 2 dried by the drying tunnel 3 to the labelling machine 9 in an environment that is air conditioned , i.e. controlled from the viewpoint of humidity and temperature. This advantageously assures that the outer surface of the containers 2 is dry and slightly warm at the time of labelling.
- the presence of said air conditioned environment prevents condensation from forming on the outer surface of the containers 2, even if they are filled with liquids at particularly low temperature and irrespective of the speed of transfer of the containers 2 within the process.
