Abstract: A star conveyor for containers which includes at least one supporting body which can move rotatably about a rotation axis, and supports peripherally a plurality of gripping devices, which are distributed around its rotation axis and are each adapted to retain a respective container to be conveyed; each one of the gripping devices includes at least one respective pair of gripping arms; at least one gripping arm of such pair of gripping arms includes a main body and at least one adapter element which is detachably attached to the main body and is interchangeable with at least one other adapter element of a different type, in order to vary the configuration of the at least one gripping arm according to the type of container to be conveyed.

Abstract: A container labeling machine, which comprises a base structure which forms a region for the input of the containers to be labeled and at least one region for the output of the labeled containers and supports elements for the conveyance of the containers from the input region to the output region, at least one container labeling assembly being provided along the conveyor; the conveyor comprises at least two carousels provided with respective supporting plates for individual containers. At least one respective labeling assembly is associated with each one of the carousels. The conveyor furthermore comprises, substantially at the input region, elements for sorting the containers fed to the input region toward one and the other of the carousels and comprises elements for unloading the labeled containers from the carousels and for sending the labeled containers toward the output region.

Abstract: A machine for labeling containers conveys, along an advancement direction, the labels to be applied, which have a transfer drum which is adapted to bring individual labels into contact with corresponding containers which are supported by a conveyor. A spraying assembly faces the transfer drum and is adapted to apply glue on the labels; the spraying assembly includes at least one spray gun which has a plate-like glue dispensing body which faces the lateral surface of the transfer drum and is passed through by a plurality of dispensing ports, which are arranged mutually spaced apart along at least one row which extends substantially parallel to the axis of the transfer drum; a controller is configured to actuate a slowing of the advancement speed of the labels with respect to the spray gun before actuating the activation of the spray gun for the application of the glue on the labels.
