Abstract
A machine for labeling containers, especially bottles or the like, with a stationary machine rack on which a rotary table for conveying containers is supported, and at least one labeling module, arranged to be interchangeable at or on a machine rack, for labeling the containers being guided past the labeling module by the rotary table wherein its own motor is assigned respectively to the rotary table and at least one labeling module. In order to simplify a change or replacement of a labeling module, the motor is located on the machine rack and remains there.
Claims13
A machine for labeling containers, especially bottles, comprising:
- a stationary machine rack on which a rotary table for conveying containers is supported, wherein a first motor is assigned to the rotary table, and
- a labeling set comprising:
- at least one labeling module, arranged to be interchangeable at or on the machine rack, for labeling the containers being guided past the at least one labeling module by the rotary table, wherein the at least one labeling module comprises a label holder with a stock of labels, a rotor, a glue cylinder and a gripper cylinder;
- and
- at least one second motor, separate from the at least one labeling module, is assigned to each of the at least one labeling modules, wherein the at least one second motor is used for driving the at least one labeling module;
- wherein the at least one second motor and the at least one labeling module are so designed that the at least one second motor remains one of at or on the machine rack with one of an exchange and replacement of the at least one labeling module, wherein exchanging or replacing the at least one labeling module comprises exchanging or replacing all parts of the at least one labeling module.
A machine for labeling containers, especially bottles, comprising:
- a stationary machine rack on which a rotary table for conveying containers is supported, wherein a first motor is assigned to the rotary table, and
- a labeling set comprising:
- at least one labeling module, arranged to be interchangeable at or on the machine rack, for labeling the containers being guided past the at least one labeling module by the rotary table, wherein the at least one labeling module comprises a dispensing label module;
- and
- at least one second motor, separate from the at least one labeling module, is assigned to each of the at least one labeling modules and used for driving the at least one labeling module;
- wherein the at least one second motor and the at least one labeling module are so designed that the at least one second motor remains one of at or on the machine rack with one of an exchange and replacement of the at least one labeling module, wherein exchanging or replacing the at least one labeling module comprises exchanging or replacing all parts of the at least one labeling module.
A machine for labeling containers, especially bottles, comprising:
- a stationary machine rack on which a rotary table for conveying containers is supported, wherein a first motor is assigned to the rotary table, and
- a labeling set comprising:
- at least one labeling module, arranged to be interchangeable at or on the machine rack, for labeling the containers being guided past the at least one labeling module by the rotary table, wherein the at least one labeling module comprises a roll-cut labeling device used for separating single labels from a roll of labels;
- and
- at least one second motor, separate from the at least one labeling module, is assigned to each of the at least one labeling modules and used for driving the at least one labeling module;
- wherein the at least one second motor and the at least one labeling module are so designed that the at least one second motor remains one of at or on the machine rack with one of an exchange and replacement of the at least one labeling module, wherein exchanging or replacing the at least one labeling module comprises exchanging or replacing all parts of the at least one labeling module.
