  • such vacuum drums u.a. for applying the labels with a label end (label edge or page) leading or advancing in the direction of rotation or circulation of the vacuum drum to the respective container moving past the labeling unit, to which the label is then subsequently attached e.g. is completely applied by turning the container about its vertical axis and removed from the vacuum drum.
  • the labels are each held at their leading label end and at their rear or trailing label end to a vacuum holder or vacuum pad.
  • the distance that the associated vacuum holder for the leading label end and the lagging or tracking label end on the generally circular cylindrical peripheral surface of the vacuum drum thus substantially corresponds to the length of the processed labels.
  • a plurality of vacuum holders for the front label end, each with an associated vacuum holder for the rear label end are provided on the circumference of a vacuum drum, so that in each case a plurality of labels can be transferred to a plurality of containers in a full revolution of the vacuum drum.
  • the object of the invention is to show a vacuum drum which avoids these disadvantages and allows a smooth format change.
  • a vacuum drum according to the patent claim 1 is formed.
  • a labeling machine is the subject of claim 14.
  • the vacuum drum according to the invention allows a format change solely by exchanging one or more segments. These can be ring-shaped or partially ring-shaped with a significantly reduced weight in comparison to a complete vacuum drum, whereby u.a. a significantly improved handling during format change, but also results in a maintenance.
  • the vacuum drum is designed as a hollow drum with a wall forming the peripheral surface of the drum.
  • the at least one segment is then part of this wall.
  • the peripheral surface of the drum is formed by a plurality of interchangeable segments, so that by using or equipping the vacuum drum with a different number of segments each selected and / or with different sized segments an adjustment of the distance between the vacuum holders for the leading label end and the lagging end of the label, ie an adjustment of the distance to the respective label format is easily possible.
  • peripheral surface of the vacuum drum as optimally as possible for receiving as many labels on the circumference as possible, for example for a specific labeling performance of a labeling machine with the lowest possible peripheral speed for the revolving driven vacuum drum or at a certain peripheral speed Vacuum drum to achieve the highest possible labeling performance.
  • the segments used are each placed on a support (segment carrier), centered there, for example, over a contour and fixed in a suitable manner.
  • a support for example, over a contour and fixed in a suitable manner.
  • About at least one formed in the carrier flow channel are the existing Vacuum holder (vacuum pads) with negative pressure and ggs. controlled for the transfer of the respective label to the container supplied with compressed air.
  • the invention includes i.a. two basic embodiments.
  • the at least one replaceable segment u.a. as a spacer between the two associated vacuum holders i.
  • an existing segment is exchanged for a, the changed distance corresponding segment.
  • at least one of the two vacuum holders is repositioned correspondingly to the changed distance on the vacuum drum or on the carrier of this vacuum drum.
  • At least one vacuum retainer is provided on the segment, i. attached to the segment or part of the segment, and is changed to change the distance between the vacuum holders together with the segment.
  • 1 is designed as a rotating machine labeling machine for Rundumetikettierung of bottles 2, that is, for applying wrap-around labels 3 on bottles 2.
  • the labeling 1 consists for this purpose in a known manner from one to a vertical machine axis in the direction of arrow A circulating driven rotor 4 with a plurality of measures provided for on the circumference of the rotor and turntables 5 standing surfaces for each bottle 2.
  • the bottles to be labeled 2 are the rotor 4 via a conveyor 6 at a bottle inlet supplied so that in each case a bottle 2 on a turntable 5 upright, that is oriented with its bottle axis FA oriented in the vertical direction.
  • bottles 2 With the rotor 4, the bottles 2 are moved past a labeling unit 7, on each of which a glued on its back and held on the circumference of a vacuum drum 8 label 3 passed with a leading label end 3.1 to the moving bottle 2 and then by winding under rotation of Bottle 2 and peeling off the vacuum drum 8 is applied to the bottle 2 there, for example, as a wrap-around label.
  • the labeled bottles 2 are transferred to a container or bottle outlet back to the feed dog 6 for removal.
  • vacuum holders 9 and 10 For holding the labels 3 on the circular-cylindrical peripheral surface of the vacuum drum 8, which rotate about a vertical axis synchronously with the rotor 4, but in the opposite sense of rotation, i. is driven in the direction of arrow B, vacuum holders 9 and 10, i. So-called vacuum pads provided, in each case a vacuum holder 9 for holding a label 3 at its leading in the direction of rotation of the vacuum drum 8 label end 3.1 and a vacuum holder 10 for holding each label at the tracked label end 3.2.
  • the vacuum holder 9 and 10 are provided in pairs, in an arc distance equal to the length of a label 3 and thus in the wrap-around labeling, in which the labels 3 are applied with their ends 3.1 and 3.2 overlapping, slightly larger than the circumference, the bottles 2 have at their area to be labeled.
  • the labels 3 are produced by a web-shaped label material 3a, which is withdrawn from a supply (supply reel), not shown, in the direction of the arrow C, by separating.
  • the label material 3a is fed to the labeling unit 7 via several rollers 11 and a motor-driven removal device 12 and reaches a cutting roller 13, at which the length forming the respective label 3 is separated from the label material 3a and transferred to the vacuum drum 8. With the vacuum holder 9 held on the vacuum drum 8, each label 3 is then moved past the application of the glue at a glue station 14.
  • the distance between the front vacuum holder 9 and the associated rear vacuum holder 10 is dependent on the length of the labels 3 and this length again depends on the diameter of the bottles 2 at their area to be provided with the wrap-around labeling ,
  • the vacuum drum 8 is the Figures 3 and 4 designed according to several parts. It consists of a lower plate-like or circular disk-like carrier 14 which is provided on the vertical axis 15 driving the vacuum drum 8, of a plurality of segments forming the peripheral or drum surface of the vacuum drum 8, which are shown in the figures with 16 and 16.1. and from a top of the vacuum drum 8 forming circular disc-shaped cover 17 which is held at the upper end of the shaft 15, for example by clamping.
  • the segment 16 is provided at both ends with a respective one slot-shaped, parallel to the axis of the shaft 15 extending nozzle 18 forming nozzle body 19, wherein the one nozzle body 19 with its nozzle slot 18, the vacuum holder 9 and the other nozzle body 19 with its nozzle slot 18, the vacuum holder 10th form.
  • an annular profiling 20 at the top of the support 14 and by a profiling 20 form-fitting cross-annular flange 21 on the segment 16 this particular is held against the radial axis of the shaft 15 acting centrifugal forces form-fitting manner on the carrier 14.
  • the carrier 14 is designed to receive two segments 16 with the two nozzle elements 19, each held by a screw fastening 25. Between these two segments 16, the peripheral surface of the vacuum drum 8 by two segments 16.1, which are held in the same manner as the segments 16 on the carrier 14 and the lid 17, supplemented or closed.
  • a plurality of openings 26 are provided on the upper side of the carrier 14 in the region of the carrier circumference, which with the segment 16 mounted a flow connection between a formed in the carrier 14 flow channel 27 for vacuum and possibly compressed air with a respective nozzle member 19 formed and communicate with the nozzle opening 18 in communication flow channel.
  • the respectively not required openings 26 are then covered by the segments 16 or 16.1 or by the respective flange portion 21 of these segments 16 or 16.1 and sealed.
  • the vacuum drum 8 Due to the described construction, it is possible to equip the vacuum drum 8 with a different number and / or size of segments 16 and 16 'depending on the diameter of the containers or bottles 2 to be labeled, and thus on the length of the labels 3 used the vacuum drum 8 so easy and fast to adapt to the particular format.
  • This adaptation is possible in particular in the form that the predetermined circumference of the vacuum drum 8 is used optimally, i. As many of each of a vacuum holder 9 and a vacuum holder 10 formed vacuum holder pairs result in the dependent of the length of the labels 3 distance, so that with each revolution of the vacuum drum 8 as many labels 3 can be passed to the past the labeling 7 bottles 2 ,
