Label ejection device

Abstract

The invention relates to a label ejection device, a labeling printing system comprising said device and a method for discarding labels, in particular self-adhesive labels. The invention is concerned in particular with preventing faulty labels from being applied to items (or containers containing such items), with minimal attendant interruption of machine operation. The effective labeling systems and equipment are not perfect and, on occasion, "incorrect" or faulty labels may be applied to containers. There is a need for an improved label ejection device and an improved labeling printing system that more efficiently and effectively removes labels from a sheet like support. An object of the present invention is to improve the apparatuses, systems and methods for discarding and collecting labels, in particular selfadhesive labels.
