Abstract
A labeling machine includes a conveyor of containers to be labeled along an advancement path and at least one labeling station. The labeling station includes an unreeling assembly for a label ribbon, and a cutting drum. At least one cutting device is provided and has a respective suction chamber, which accommodates internally a blade. The suction chamber is connectable with an air suction device, in order to attract the label ribbon toward the inside of the suction chamber and against the blade, in order to cut the label ribbon. The cutting device includes a respective blade supporting element which is coupled to the cutting drum and supports the blade. This blade supporting element is elastically deformable in order to allow the coupling/uncoupling of the blade to/from the blade supporting element.
