  • Patent number: 7328784
    Abstract: A labeling machine that is provided with a rotating carousel supporting at a peripheral region a plurality of pans and with an input star conveyor for conveying bottles to be labeled to the rotating carousel. Each pan is adapted to receive and support a bottle when it is located in a specific position following to the rotation of the carousel. A toothed belt actuated by a driving pulley is wound around the carousel for driving the pans in rotation while they travel, along a path extending along the peripheral region of the carousel, between a rotation start position and a rotation end position. The rotation start position is located upstream, in the direction of rotation of the carousel, with respect to the specific bottle receiving position.

  • Patent number: 6658975
    Abstract: The invention falls within the field of labeling machine with the continuous introduction of a reeled label film. In particular, it relates to the cutting roller of the label film and it comprises a cooling line for the two support systems of the shaft of the cutting roller. The cooling line is preferably independent for each of the two systems and it comprises a probe for measuring the temperature of the related support which sends its measured value to a block for its comparison with a pre-set preferential temperature value. The block, according to the compared value, activates a solenoid valve inserted on the compressed air supply circuit.
