Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, clamping jaws or similar additional holding elements cause considerable technical effort and undesirably increase the complexity of the expansion unit
Furthermore, they interfere when the shrink sleeve is applied to the expansion unit
A further disadvantage arises when changing sizes, since for this purpose the holding element usually has to be replaced and the drive medium, such as electric current or compressed air, and / or the mechanical drive mechanism has to be adapted and / or modified

Embodiment Construction

[0036] as from figure 1 As seen in , a preferred embodiment of the device 1 according to the invention for labeling containers 2 with label sleeves 3 comprises a plurality of labeling stations 5 distributed uniformly on the circumference of the labeling wheel 4, each of which An expansion unit 6 for receiving and expanding the label sleeve 3 is included. The label sleeve 3 is, for example, a shrink sleeve or a stretch sleeve. Furthermore, a removal unit 7 for grasping and lifting the labeled container 2 from the spreading unit 6, a control unit 8 for electrically controlling the labeling device 1 according to the invention, a label applicator 9, An optional shrink zone 10 for fixing the label sleeve 3 in the case of a shrink sleeve, an inlet planetary wheel 11 for conveying the containers 2 to be labeled, which may be plastic bottles, for example, and an outlet planetary wheel for removing the containers 2 round 12. Furthermore, the direction of rotation of the labeling whe...

Abstract

The labeling apparatus has spreading units provided with electric expansion segments which are moved from inner receiving position at which the sleeve-labels are received, to outer clamping position for clamping the sleeve-labels. A control unit controls the movement of the electric expansion segments to outer clamping position in response to a drive force or drive torque of the electric expansion segments. An independent claim is included for a method for labeling containers.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for labeling containers with label sleeves. Background technique [0002] Containers such as beverage bottles can also be labeled with tube-shaped label sleeves. For this purpose, shrink sleeves or elastic film sleeves, so-called stretch sleeves, can be used, for example. [0003] For example WO 2008 / 076718 describes a device for labeling the entire curved container surface with a highly elastic film sleeve, wherein a surrounding labeling wheel with a stretching unit for receiving and stretching the film sleeve is arranged on the labeling wheel stand. The expansion unit comprises a plurality of expansion fingers distributed substantially parallel to one another and grouped around the central recess on the circumference. The spreader fingers are radially displaceable relative to the central recess and can be moved apart from one another to such an extent that the film sheath drawn down onto the spreader ...
