Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine and to a process for printing and applying self-adhesive labels from adhesivized reels, in particular usable for identification systems to be applied to containers, in particular to boxes, parcels, packages, pallets.
  • the invention relates to machines for applying labels in real time and also working on packages from different lines, the labels being of various sizes and content.
  • Said labels are formed by an adhesivized substratum (paper, plastic film, etc.) applied on an antiadhesive support, usually siliconized, forming the label carrier and release. During the application the label is printed, removed from the support and applied.
  • an adhesivized substratum paper, plastic film, etc.
  • siliconized an antiadhesive support
  • EP 1,447,333 in the name of the Applicant and corresponding to the preamble of claim 1, describes a machine for printing and applying labels on containers comprising a reel (1) of tape adhesivized on the internal side from which the labels are formed; a reel unwinding system; a printing group (3) for the adhesivized tape comprising a printing system wherein the contact between the printing head and the adhesive tape is obtained by a driving roll cyclically inverting the rotation direction; a cutting system (2) of the printed tape forming the label and a piston for applying it located adjacent to the printing group.
  • the cutting system is formed by a blade (2a) and counterblade (2b).
  • the former moves perpendicularly to the direction of the tape to be cut and with cutting edge forming an angle comprised between 2° and 45° with the tape.
  • the cutting surfaces of the blade (2a) and counterblade (2b) are covered with antiadhesives.
  • This machine runs without jamming for about one week if it is operated at a speed of 18-20 labels (strokes)/minute and with tapes having a width of 80-120 mm.
  • the speed is increased for example up to 40 strokes/minute, this machine works satisfactorily only for about two days.
  • the machine works satisfactorily for shorter times, of about three days.
  • tapes having a width more than 120 up to 220 mm are used and contemporaneously the speed is increased, from 30 up to 70 strokes/minute, the machine works correctly for shorter times, for example of the order of two hours.
  • An object of the present invention is a machine for printing and applying labels on containers, etc., comprising:
  • the thickness of the lamina (16) can range from about 0.05 up to about 10 mm, preferably 0.1-2.5 mm, still more preferably 0.2-0.4 mm.
  • the preferred thicknesses are suitable in particular used when tape (5) must be printed on the roll surface, also in the points where the lamina is inserted. Besides, it has been unexpectedly and surprisingly found by the Applicant that the more preferred thickness reduces the friction between tape (5) and lamina (16). In this way the adhesive release of tape (5) on the lamina (16) is decreased.
  • a pipe (17) positioned longitudinally under the lamina (16) and perpendicular thereto, equipped with holes for the output of inert gases under pressure, is used. The pressure ranges from 1 bar up to 10 bar, preferably from 2 to 5 bar.
  • suitable inert gases used nitrogen, air, helium can be mentioned.
  • Lamina (16) preferably has one end not in contact with the upper edge of counterblade (2b) and the opposite end inserted into roll (3a) through grooves made in roll (3a).
  • Lamina (16) preferably is shaped so that its upper side is tangential with respect to roll (3a). This embodiment is shown in Fig. 1 by the end part of lamina (16) in contact with roll (3a).
  • the upper side of lamina (16) can also form a 0° or a negative angle with respect to a line perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of roll (3a). The negative angle can be for example up to about -10°.
  • the perpendicular line can be represented also by (5) or by an horizontal line passing through the axis of roll (3a).
  • the preferred position is the tangential one corresponding to an angle of 35° for a diameter of roll (3a) of about 14 mm.
  • a lamina thickness higher than 2.5 mm can also be used.
  • the lamina (16) is in contact, or at least partly in contact, with the counterblade (2b) or with the upper edge thereof.
  • More than one lamina (16) can be used and can have one end towards roll (3a), preferably inserted in roll (3a). In another embodiment of the invention part of the laminas (16) do not have one of the ends inserted in roll (3a). In a particularly preferred embodiment at least one of the laminas has one end inserted in roll (3a).
  • the width of plane (15), measured in the direction of movement of tape (5), is generally comprised from about 30% to about 70% of the distance between roll (3a) and counterblade (2b).
  • plane (15) is treated with antiadhesive material.
  • the distance between plane (15) and counterblade (2b) must be such as to allow the passage of tape (5). Higher distances can be used, for example of about 5-10 mm.
  • belts (19) can optionally be positioned to connect roll (3a) with pulley (19a) (see Fig. 1b ).
  • one belt is used for each end.

  • a further preferred component used in the machine of the invention is at least one supporting roll (20), positioned uphill roll (3a) and having the longitudinal axis parallel to that of roll (3a).
  • the distance of supporting roll (20) from roll (3a) ranges from 30 to 300 mm, preferably from 60 to 200 mm, more preferably from 50 to 120 mm. In this way the supporting roll (20) keeps tape (5) in tension between the two rolls (20) and (3a).
  • the dimensions of supporting roll (20) can be the same or different from those of roll (3a).
  • Preferably supporting roll (20) is made of an antiadherent material.
  • horizontal driving planes optionally motorized, for example eletrically and/or pneumatically, can be used.
  • the planes are preferably coated with antiadherent material.
  • supporting rolls (20) are preferred.
  • the machine of the present invention can work also for very long times, for example one or more months, for example three months or longer times, without showing the drawbacks of the prior art machines. Besides, as said, the machine of the invention can work at higher speeds, up to 70 labels/minute, in comparison with those of the prior art.
  • the cutting systems can have various sizes. Generally their size, measured along the longitudinal direction of the tape, is preferably lower than 60 mm, more preferably lower than 40 mm. It is preferable to use cutting systems having a size as small as possible, for example 15-40 mm.

  • both sides of blade (2a) and counterblade (2b) are covered with solid antiadhesive coatings.
  • the antiadhesive treatment of the components of the invention machine as described above allows to avoid that the adhesive tape adheres on their surfaces.
  • the antiadhesive treatment can, for example, be carried out by using materials based on (fluoro) silicones and/or fluoropolymers for obtaining antiadhesive solid coatings.
  • materials based on (fluoro) silicones and/or fluoropolymers for obtaining antiadhesive 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 roll (3a), as said, is made of antiadherent material, so that adhesivized tape (5) does not adhere to the roll (3a).
  • the material of the roll (3a) is, for example, made by silicone resins, for example silicone rubbers.
  • the engine acting on roll (3a) cyclically inverts the rotation direction.
  • this can be obtained by modifying the firmware of the printing group.
  • the backward movement of tape (5) by roll (3a), preferably is from 1 mm to L mm, wherein L is the distance between the cutting blade and the printing head.
  • L depends on the cutting system size, generally L is comprised between 15 and 60 mm. This value depends on the printing requirements. For example, this value is L-2 when the printing starts 2 mm from the upper margin of the label. With upper margin of the label it is meant the label side coming out first from the printing head.
  • Tape (5) without the adhesive, has a thickness generally from about 30 micron to about 120 micron, preferably from 50 micron to 80 micron.
  • the adhesive amount spread on the support film, calculated on the dry, 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. Generally the label has the same width of the tape and ranges from 10 mm and 300 mm, preferably from 30 mm to 230 mm, the length can vary, for example up to 500 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 preferably having the internal side, i.e. that turned towards the reel, adhesivized.
  • the tape plastic film is preferably made of bioriented polypropylene, polyester, polyethylene, polyvinylchloride, or also laminates, or plastic coupled articles in general.
  • the tape material can also be made of paper, thermosensitive paper of thermosensitive plastic material.
  • the used adhesive is available on the market and is selected among those allowing a permanent adhesion.

  • tape (5) passes between the driving roll (3a) and the printing head (3b).
  • roll (3a) drives tape (5) ( Fig. 1 ).
  • the invention also comprises a printing and labelling process as defined by claim 14.
  • the applying/labelling machine of the present invention is represented according to a preferred embodiment as reported in the Figures:
  • the working process of the machine of the present invention is the following.
  • Tape (5) is unwound from the reel (1) by the unwinding system comprising (8) and (9), proceeds into the printing group (3) for the label print and/or overprint.
  • Tape (5) proceeds on roll (3a), then on lamina (16) and after into the cutting system (2) moving in a direction perpendicular to the cutting blade (2a), which cuts the tape with an angle, preferably constant, the contact point between the blade (2a) and counterblade (2b) during cutting moves transversally in a continuous way through tape (5).
  • the printed label is immediately applied on the container (box) by the applying pad (6).
  • the adhesivized tape (5) is moved backward by roll (3a), passing on the lamina 16 and stopping on roll (3a) thus allowing the printing head (3b) to start printing near the upper edge of the forming label. Then tape (5) enters into the cutting system (2), a new label is cut and the cycle starts again.
  • lubricating oils are rather critical, especially for food packages, since they represent a critical contamination source according to the rules and procedures HACCP (Hazard Assessment Critical Control Point). 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 a direct or indirect thermal process or by using laser or ink-jet printers.
  • the label text is previously programmed by the user, for example through a software.
  • the text contains for example the following information codes for identififying the product, the customer, the supplier, the producer, etc. and can be personalized.
  • the software it is possible to store in the memory of the computer labels having different features as regards the format and the text (logo, firm data, production codes, expiry dates, etc.).
  • the appropriate labels are applied on the product on the packaging line.
  • the printing/labelling machine of the present invention allows to obtain labels having a different length depending on 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. When in these known systems the label dimensions must be changed, it is necessary to change the reel. Furthermore another advantage of the machine of the present invention is that the siliconized support (carrier) is not used, thus avoiding a disposal unit.
  • the machine of the present invention results improved in comparison with the machines of the prior art (see the examples) since with the latter it is not possible to use high speeds, higher than 18/20 strokes/minute, without jamming, using adhesivized tapes.
  • the prior art machines can be used without jamming when the tape has widths up to 120 mm. From an industrial point of view the machine of the present invention assures an improved productivity even with labels having a width higher than 120 mm, even up to 300 mm.
  • the label application system can be carried out in various ways.
  • a piston system (7) can be used.
  • a further advantage of the present invention machine is that it is not necessary to have available tapes with prepunched labels having a different format (length).
