Abstract
The invention relates to an apparatus and a method for applying glue to banderoles, more particularly banderoles for cigarette packs, comprising a glue supply, a nozzle device (7, 9, 12), a guide for the banderoles to be glued and a means for controlling glue delivery, whereby the nozzle device (7, 9, 12) comprises a glue distributor (7) which applies the glue in two streaks to the banderole by a continual contact process.
Claims7
A glue application apparatus for use with banderoles on cigarette packs, comprising:
- a nozzle device for application of glue, said nozzle device waving a nozzle header, said header having a first and second nozzle plate, each of said first and second nozzle plates having an inlet passage and an outlet passage, each of said outlet passages in close proximity to said banderoles;
- a transport guide in frictional contact with said banderoles;
- wherein said transport guide is comprised of a transport roller, said transport roller positioned between said first and second nozzle plate of said nozzle header.
An apparatus for applying glue to banderoles, comprising:
- a glue supply;
- a nozzle device in fluid communication with said glue supply;
- a guide for the banderoles to be glued;
- wherein said nozzle device comprises a nozzle header, said nozzle header is comprised of two legs which extend in a manner so as to provide said nozzle header with a U-shape, wherein each said leg has a discharge tip such that said nozzle header discharges two or more streaks of the glue onto the banderoles by a continual contact processes.
An apparatus for applying glue to banderoles, comprising:
- a glue supply;
- a nozzle device having a first and a second nozzle plate said nozzle device in fluid communication with said glue supply;
- a guide for the banderoles to be glued;
- wherein said nozzle device comprises a glue distributor which discharges two or more streaks of the glue onto the banderoles by a continual contact process;
- wherein, for transporting banderoles, a transport roller is arranged between said nozzle plates, the outer circumference of said transport roller protruding slightly beyond front ends of said nozzle plates.
