Abstract: A film bearing continuously printed labels to be subjected to heat-shrinking and designed to be processed by a labelling machine which comprises a rotating carousel for supporting the individual containers to be labelled and which is provided with elements that convey the film, drawing it from a reel, to be cut so as to separate the individual labels and bring each one into contact with a dummy bottle, so that each one of the labels completely surrounds one of the dummy bottles, forming a sleeve, transfer elements being also provided which are adapted to transfer the sleeve, which is now closed, to the underlying container, the film being a flat film which is pretreated with adhesive at a strip at an end flap of each individual label that corresponds to an overlap region so as to form the closed sleeve in contact with the corresponding dummy bottle.

Abstract: A method for labelling containers with labels printed on a continuous film. The method comprises supplying individual containers to be labelled on a support of a rotating carousel; turning the containers about their own axis by turning the support; providing a reel of printed continuous film pretreated with adhesive and unwinding the film; aligning and adjusting the tension of the film; feeding the film to a rotating drum by a feeder; receiving and retaining, on the rotating drum, the film from the feeder so that the film adheres to the drum surface; programming a desired label length; cutting the film on the rotating drum with a laser head at the desired label length; separating the cut individual labels and moving them into contact with corresponding containers supported by the support of the carousel; and applying the individual labels to the corresponding containers directly from the rotating drum.

Abstract: A labelling machine for labels printed on pre-pasted continuous film, comprising a rotating carousel provided with elements for supporting the individual containers to be labelled, adapted to turn such containers about their own axis, and alignment elements and tension adjustment elements for the film that unwinds from a reel and a cutting and transfer drum comprises a structure for supporting actuation elements for individual blades designed to cut the labels, the supporting structure being adapted to support a number of circumferential portions of peripheral shells provided with film retention elements and adapted to be inserted in the gaps formed by the blades that are present in each one of the groupings, so as to form a continuous cylindrical surface for supporting the film.

Abstract: A working unit comprising a container labelling machine and a machine for filling such containers, the working unit comprising a variable-spacing element, which is interposed between the machines in order to convey the containers that exit from the first machine encountered in the production line to the inlet of the second machine, changing the spacing of the containers according to the operational conditions.

Abstract: A device for cutting a ribbon made of paper, plastics or similar material, comprising a blade (8) connected to actuation means which are adapted to give the blade (8) a motion toward the ribbon (11), the blade comprising a component parallel to the surface of the ribbon (11).

Abstract: A labeling machine, comprising a conveyor of containers, each to be labeled with a label taken by cutting from a continuous ribbon wound in a reel, and further comprising feeder elements which are adapted to convey with the appropriate timing the ribbon to a device for the intermittent cutting of each individual label, and elements for locking the label during cutting which are inserted between the cutting device and a drum for transferring the cut label to a container provided on the conveyor.

Abstract: A machine for labeling by way of pre-pasted labels printed on a ribbon, comprising a rotating carousel provided with pans for supporting containers to be labeled, and a drum for cutting and transferring each individual label onto the containers which, in the motion of the carousel, progressively face the drum, the machine further comprising a rotating roller, which is adapted to receive from the drum each label designed to be applied to a container that is not present on the corresponding pan of the carousel.

Abstract: A labeling machine for labels printed on continuous film, comprising, in an intermediate position between a motorized reel and a feed roller, a tunnel provided with suction elements adapted to determine on the film in transit inside it an attraction that gives it a bent configuration, elements being provided which are adapted to control the depth of the bend, the tunnel being provided with a bottom and a lid that are adapted to align the film at a constant height.
