Abstract: The present invention relates to a tubular bagging machine with a labeling device and to a method of operating a tubular bagging machine. The labeling device includes a label dispenser that dispenses a label onto an intermediate belt. The intermediate belt then conveys the label to a transfer belt that attaches and carries away the label in a transverse direction to a labeling position. Once at the labeling position the label is applied to a film web traveling in a direction transverse to the movement of the transfer belt.

Abstract: The invention relates to a labeler and a method for applying labels onto an article strip, wherein a transfer device is moved continuously when said labels are pressed on and a lifting device of said transfer device comprises a height-adjustable actuator.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for labeling packages in a thermo-forming packaging machine with a first depositor device and a second depositor device, where a dispensing unit simultaneously transfers the labels from a label roll onto the first and second depositor devices. The invention also relates to a method for labeling packages in a thermo-forming packaging machine.

Abstract: The invention relates to a labeler. The labeler comprises a dispenser and a transfer unit having at least one label conveyor belt for applying a label to a product, the label conveyor belt having an adhesive force so as to be able to take up labels with their non-adhesive upper surface on the surface of the label conveyor belt and convey them.

Abstract: A method and device for the multi-lane and multi-row application of labels on articles such as packages or the like, which are guided in parallel lanes, in which the labels are dispensed from a backing film by a label dispenser, taken up by a conveyor belt, which is guided transversely over the lanes and transferred by a transfer device from the conveyor belt onto the articles. The labels are transferred in consecutive rows from the conveyor belt to a section of a transfer belt which extends transversely to the conveyor belt over and beyond the lanes, until a set with a specified number of label rows on this transfer belt section is completed and the transfer belt, during an advance of the lanes, is driven to dispense the set of label rows onto the articles.

Abstract: A method for applying labels in rows on a tape, which can be driven by a tape driving mechanism, for which the labels are deposited in consecutive rows at an applicator, disposed stationary at the tape, on the tape, the tape being advanced partially after or during the deposition of a row of labels by a length section at the applicator in that, by a movable tension, a pull loop is pulled out of the path of the tape downstream from the applicator, while the section of tape, located upstream from the pull loop, is kept stationary, and the tension can be moved stepwise between a starting position and an end position and that, during the partial advance, a step is traveled by the tension roller, the length of which is adjusted by a control mechanism.

Abstract: A method for applying labels on articles, which are guided in parallel lanes, for which in each case a row of labels is dispensed by a label dispenser from a backing, taken up by a transfer path guided transversely over the lanes and transferred in a transfer step onto the articles, the transfers step comprising the moving of a lifting tool, extending along a section of the transfer path onto article lanes for pressing the labels onto the articles and the return of the lifting tool into its starting position. The dispensed labels are taken up at a point of the transfer path, which is at a distance from the lifting tool, and the dispending of a row of labels is commenced before the step of transferring a previous row of labels is concluded.

Abstract: A labeling device includes a conveyor belt for taking up a row of labels, and two label dispensers, each for dispensing labels from a dispensing sheet over a dispensing edge onto the conveyor belt. The label dispensers are disposed one behind the other, the dispensing edge of a rear one of the dispensers being shifted, so that the dispensing edges of the two label dispensers are one above the other. The conveyor belt is guided over a belt deflector for changing the course of the belt between two positions as to the dispensing edges, the belt deflector including a tilting lever, over which the conveyor belt is deflected and which can be swiveled between two positions. The conveyor belt is in a first position for taking up labels at the first dispensing edge and in a second position, for taking up labels at the second dispensing edge.

Abstract: The invention relates to a labeling device and method for attaching in particular elongated narrow labels. In the labeling device, a respective label dispensed from a dispensing edge is only partially received by a conveying belt. The conveying belt is moved into a position in which a portion of the label projecting from the conveying belt is attached at an item to be labeled. The conveying belt may be crossed by 90° while it passes a drive roll and a roller.
