Abstract: A method for conveying pre-printed in-mould labels (IML) in a roller to a casting machine that moulds items such as cups or lids, where the in-mould labels must be integrated in items by being partially punched such that they remain fixed to the roller in points or bridges, after which the roller with the semi-punched in-mould labels is placed on a device from which the roller is rolled out in stages, such that the in-mould labels pass through a tool with holes which are shaped to fit the circumference of the in-mould labels. The in-mould labels are then removed with a device such as a robot with vacuum suction that tears over the river bridges that fix the in-mould labels to the roller and transfers them to the injection casting tool. An apparatus for achieving the method includes an unwinder for attaching a roller of in-mould labels from which the rolled-up in-mould labels are fed through a tool that contains holes which are shaped to fit the circumference of the in-mould labels.

Abstract: The invention includes a method and device for conveying pre-printed polymer oblates (IML), supplied in a roller, to a casting machine such as an injection press that molds items such as cups or lids, where the oblates must be integrated in items by the oblates being partially punched such that they remain fixed to the roller in points or bridges, after which the roller with the semi-punched oblates is placed on a device (1) from which the roller with oblates is rolled out in stages, such that the oblates pass through a tool (5) with holes (9) which are shaped to fit the circumference of the oblates, after which the oblates are removed with a device such as a robot with vacuum suction that tears over the river bridges that fix the oblate to the roller and transfers the oblates to the injection casting tool.
