  • Patent number: 9221573
    Abstract: A label applicator system is described comprising one or more, and preferably two, assemblies of rollers and belts. The assemblies are arranged relative to one another such that at least a portion of the belts of each assembly are aligned with one another to define an article receiving lane. The assemblies are arranged and configured such that the lane extends in a zig-zag path, a relatively straight path, and/or an arcuate path. Selection of the lane geometry along with appropriate control of belt velocities enable high rates of applying labels to articles and particularly containers having compound curves.

  • Publication number: 20040156957
    Abstract: A oil and moisture absorbent material suitable for use in food packages and a food package made of such material. The material comprises an oil and moisture absorbent layer covered by an oil and moisture repellent substance that has a multiplicity of perforations or which is applied in a pattern so that oil and moisture can pass through. Alternatively, the oil and moisture absorbent layer may be covered by an oil and moisture permeable substance. The oil and moisture absorbent layer may have indentations and additives that improve its oil and moisture absorbency. The oil and moisture absorbent layer may be made of a paperboard that is manufactured using a reduced level of calendering and having a reduced amount of sizing applied.

  • Publication number: 20030021915
    Abstract: Cellulose-polymer composites characterized by the cellulose component being thoroughly encapsulated by the polymer component, varying density which allows high strength over a wide range of temperatures and generally low weight are provided. Composites may be extruded or coextruded into a variety of products including wood-like decking materials with natural wood coloring and texture. Processes related to the manufacture of the composites are also provided.
