The specification relates to a labelling machine configured to apply a label on an object. The labelling machine comprising: an arm mechanism; a label pad attached to a first end of said arm mechanism; an actuator connected to a first end of said arm mechanism to provide rotational movement; a control system configured to control the movement and position of said arm mechanism and the label pad; and an air flow generator. The labelling machine further comprises a drive shaft connected to said actuator and configured to be rotated about the drive shaft's longitudinal axis; a second end of the arm mechanism is connected to said drive shaft, such that the longitudinal axis of the drive shaft and the arm mechanism are perpendicular to one another; and an air flow channel extends from the air flow generator via the drive shaft, through the arm mechanism to the label pad.
