The labeling station includes an unreeling assembly for a label ribbon, and a cutting drum. At least one cutting device is provided and has a respective suction chamber, which accommodates internally a blade. The suction chamber is connectable with an air suction device, in order to attract the label ribbon toward the inside of the suction chamber and against the blade, in order to cut the label ribbon. The cutting device includes a respective blade supporting element which is coupled to the cutting drum and supports the blade. This blade supporting element is elastically deformable in order to allow the coupling/uncoupling of the blade to/from the blade supporting element.

Abstract: A labeling machine includes a conveyor of containers to be labeled along an advancement path and at least one labeling assembly arranged along the advancement path of the containers; the labeling assembly includes an unwinding assembly for a label ribbon, on which multiple labels are printed in succession, and at least one conveyance drum designed to receive the label ribbon and/or the labels obtained by cutting the label ribbon. At the peripheral region of the conveyance drum there is a plurality of sliders, which are mutually angularly spaced around the axis of the conveyance drum. At least one of the sliders has resting regions designed to engage by contact the label ribbon and/or the labels, which are adapted to apply, with respect to the label ribbon and/or the labels, mutually different attraction forces toward the corresponding slider.
