Abstract: A labelling apparatus for the labelling of containers includes at least one first labelling device, a storage device and a control device. The at least one first labelling device applies a label from a first strip of labels to a container. The control device controls the labelling of the containers based on a detection result of a first detection device which detects a pattern of containers and container-absence points in a supply flow of the containers to the first labelling device, and/or on the basis of a detection result of a second detection device which detects a filling state of the labels in the storage device. The control interrupts the labelling of the container if the first detection device detects a pre-determined pattern of containers and container-absence points and/or if the second detection device detects a pre-determined filling state of the labels in the storage device.

Abstract: A centering unit for aligning at least two grouped vessels, a liftable and lowerable precentering mechanism as well as a liftable and lowerable final centering mechanism being provided so as to improve the alignment. According to a preferred embodiment, the precentering mechanism may include a plurality of subcentering mechanism so that vessels coming from different infeeds can be centered by mechanism a centering unit.

Abstract: A device for applying sleeve labels on objects which are moving continuously along a predetermined trajectory on a transport mechanism, having an ejection unit, a detection unit, a memory unit and a control unit. The ejection unit ejects sleeve labels, and the detection unit detects objects moving on the transport mechanism and issues a detection signal that specifies a position of the object at least one point in time. The control unit controls the ejection unit and triggers the ejection of a sleeve label depending on the detection signal and a control parameter stored in the memory unit, wherein a position at which the object is located at the start of the ejection process can be changed by changing the control parameter.

Abstract: An apparatus (200) and a method for labeling containers (100) with different types of label is disclosed. To each of at least two labeling machines (1, 2) there corresponds an infeed star wheel (61, 62) and a discharge star wheel (81, 82). A container path (7) is formed, along which the containers (100) to be labeled are fed to the at least two labeling machines (1, 2) in a controlled manner. At least one type of label is processed with each of the at least two labeling machines (1, 2), wherein the types of label processed with the at least two labeling machines (1, 2) are different.

Abstract: An apparatus for labelling containers, includes a storage unit, in which a supply of labelling material is accommodated, a labelling device which is disposed in the transport direction (T) of the labels and attaches the labelling material onto the containers, and a print device, which provides the labelling material with an imprint. The print device is disposed in the transport direction (T) of the labelling material between the storage unit and the labelling device and is positioned in the transport direction (T) of the labelling material at a distance from the labelling device.

Abstract: A labeling machine for conical containers with a container's axis of rotation, with a container directing device, a label transfer mechanism adjacent to the container directing device, and a label magazine embodied for dispensing labels to a label transfer means acting between the containers and the label magazine. The labeling machine includes a transfer mechanism having at least one rotating transfer cylinder rotating about a first axis of rotation, which is inclined relative to the container's axis of rotation. The label transfer means also has a transport pallet mechanism rotatable about a second axis of rotation and designed for withdrawing labels from the label magazine using vacuum, and at least one glue sprayer for dispensing glue cooperates with a label located on a transfer cylinder, such that a final gluing and/or an initial gluing is applied to the label.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for applying labels (100) supplied from a roll for the labeling of containers (10) are disclosed. The containers (10) are fed to a labeling station (12). A cutting device (1) provides the required length (103) of the labels (100). The cutting device (1) can be variably controlled according to the circumference of the container (10).

Abstract: A device for applying labels to a label carrier including a movable rack, which defines a plurality of magazine sites, each of the magazine sites being configured for accommodating a label magazine that is suitable for accommodating a large number of labels. The magazine rack further includes docking means with the aid of which the rack can be docked to a labeling unit prepared for applying the individual labels from a selected label magazine to the label carrier. The device further includes a supply unit through which a selected label magazine can be transferred from the magazine site within the rack to an operating position at which the labels are taken hold of by the labeling unit and applied individually to one of the label carriers.

Abstract: Method and device for equipping containers as well as containers with a circumferential label which encloses the container circumference, where the circumferential label, which presents a front edge and a back edge, and which is made of rigid cardboard material, is brought closer with its front edge to the lateral surface of a container, attached to the latter at least temporarily by gluing, then wrapped upon the circumference of the container, and the back edge is attached at least temporarily by gluing to the lateral surface joint on joint with the front edge in a lying position.
