Blow labeler

A blow labeler for applying labels to packages, comprising a blower head having a base platform, which has an air connection device that comprises a plurality of ports having a compressed air port and at least one suction air port, and a holding platform having a label contact surface that is passed through by a plurality of blow-off openings in fluid communication with the compressed air port and by a plurality of suction openings in fluid communication with the at least one suction air port, wherein the holding platform is rotatably supported at the base platform, wherein the base platform has a drive comprising an electric motor, and wherein the drive is adapted to rotatably drive the holding platform in order to rotate a label held at the label contact surface, wherein the label contact surface comprises a first contact region and a second contact region that is linearly displaceable with respect to the first contact region in a plane of the label contact surface, with the suction openings at least being formed in the second contact region, and with the base platform having a further electric motor that is part of a further drive that is adapted to drive the second contact region in a linearly displaceable manner in order to linearly move a label held at the second contact region.

A price labeling system for automatically weighing and labeling packages comprising a blow labeler for applying labels to packages and a transport apparatus including a weighing belt to weigh the packages and to guide them past the blow labeler,

• the blow labeler comprising a blower head having a base platform, which has an air connection device that comprises a plurality of ports having a compressed air port and at least one suction air port, and a holding platform having a label contact surface that is passed through by a plurality of blow-off openings in fluid communication with the compressed air port and by a plurality of suction openings in fluid communication with the at least one suction air port, wherein the holding platform is rotatably supported at the base platform, wherein the base platform has a drive comprising an electric motor, and wherein the drive is adapted to rotatably drive the holding platform in order to rotate a label held at the label contact surface, wherein the air connection device has a multi-passage rotary union to realize a sealed transition for the compressed air and the suction air between the base platform and the holding platform that is rotatable relative to the base platform.
