Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, in the case of curing stations with UV light as well as in the case of curing stations using electron beams, infrared radiation or microwaves, the problem arises that a part of the radiation used for curing reaches the print either directly or via scattering. head, and there accidentally cures printing pigments or printing inks
As a result, the nozzles of the print head may be clogged and / or the print quality of the printed pattern may be impaired
In addition, direct or diffuse radiation can be a health hazard for workers in the area of ​​the printing facility

Embodiment Construction

[0073] exist figure 1 A top view of a container handling plant for printing containers 110 can be seen in FIG. The exemplary embodiment shown here with a turntable 100 as a transport system is frequently found in container handling plants in the beverage industry, but also in the field of cosmetics and hygiene products. A monorail of container flow 140 is provided with predetermined segments by a distribution screw conveyor (not shown) and then conveyed to an input star 150 , which holds containers 110 individually and transfers them to the container receptacle of turntable 100 . Before being handed over to the input star 150 , the containers pass through a corona tunnel in which the containers can be electrostatically charged in order to obtain an improved or sharper printed image.

[0074] In this exemplary illustration, the container is shown with a circular cross-section for simplicity, for example as a bottle or bottle-shaped container. However, it is understood that the ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a device for printing on containers, and the device is provided with a drivable rotor having a plurality of rotating container receptacles, at least one printhead for applying a printed image on the container, at least one curing station in the periphery of the rotor and at least one protective device, wherein at least one container receptacle and the protection device are designed such that by relatively moving the container receptacle and at least a portion of the protection device in the area of curing station, a housing for at least one of the container receptacle built-in reservoir is formed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for printing containers, in particular bottles or cans, with a preferably multi-coloured printing pattern and for subsequently fixing the printing pattern. Background technique [0002] For product identification and / or high-quality product presentation, containers for products such as eg liquid food, hygiene products or the like are provided with printing. In this case, the printing can either be applied directly to the printed section on the outer surface of the container (direct printing) or as an additional printing on the label. Here, the printing color or printing ink is applied directly to the outer surface of the container or to the label by means of one or more printing heads. The imprinted print can have, for example, characters, logos, patterns and color distributions. In order to apply the printing pattern, the containers to be printed are usually conveyed by a transport device, for example by a rotor in ...
