A labelling module for applying labels that are obtained from a web of labelling material and onto articles adapted to contain a pourable product. In example embodiments, the labelling module includes a feed system, a cutting unit, a cutting station, and a transfer device. In example embodiments, the feed system is configured for feeding the web along a feed path, the cutting unit is configured for repeatedly cutting the web at a cutting station arranged along the feed path, thereby obtaining a sequence of labels. And the transfer device is configured for receiving the sequence of labels and for transferring them to an application station for the application thereof onto the respective articles.

A labeling machine includes a conveyor of containers to be labeled along an advancement path and at least one labeling station. The labeling station includes an unreeling assembly for a label ribbon, and a cutting drum. At least one cutting device is provided and has a respective suction chamber, which accommodates internally a blade. The suction chamber is connectable with an air suction device, in order to attract the label ribbon toward the inside of the suction chamber and against the blade, in order to cut the label ribbon. The cutting device includes a respective blade supporting element which is coupled to the cutting drum and supports the blade. This blade supporting element is elastically deformable in order to allow the coupling/uncoupling of the blade to/from the blade supporting element.

A labeling machine includes a conveyor to move containers to be labeled along an advancement path and at least one labeling station arranged along the advancement path. The labeling station includes an unreeling assembly for a label ribbon, on which multiple labels are printed in succession, and at least one drum designed to receive on its lateral surface the label ribbon or the labels obtained by cutting the label ribbon. At least one skid is arranged at the peripheral region of the drum and has at least one relief portion with the relief directed outward with respect to the remaining part of the lateral surface of the drum. At least one glue roller is arranged laterally to the drum. At least the relief portion of the skid is made of an elastically yielding material.

A machine for labeling containers including an assembly for feeding containers to be labeled to a labeling assembly, the labeling assembly has an assembly for unwinding a labeling ribbon which includes, along its extension, labels, a cutting device arranged downstream of the unwinding assembly and configured to cut the labeling ribbon at respective separation portions so as to obtain the labels, downstream of the cutting device there being transfer elements adapted to move the respective labels separated after cutting into contact with corresponding containers at a transfer region, and a removal component, which can be activated on command, for removing at least one label from the flow of labels and are arranged upstream of the transfer region.

The invention relates to a labelling device for attaching labels to containers, comprising: at least one unrolling device for a label strip; at least one cutting tool for cutting the label strip into individual labels; a vacuum transfer cylinder for transferring the labels onto the containers, wherein the vacuum transfer cylinder has a plurality of movable vacuum suction for suctioning, conveying and transferring the labels, wherein at least one vacuum suction bar is assigned to each label to be transported; at least one bar controller for controlling the movement of the vacuum suction bars, wherein the bar controller comprises at least one control cam which, in cooperation with at least one control roller of a vacuum suction bar, controls the movement of the respective vacuum suction bar.

Provided is a labelling module for labelling containers adapted to contain a pourable product, the labelling module having a feed roller for advancing a web of labelling material along a feed path; a cutting member downstream of the feed roller, for repeatedly cutting the web to separate a sequence of labels therefrom; and a transfer drum rotatable about a rotation axis in an angular direction of rotation, and configured to transfer the labels to an application station for the application thereof onto the respective containers; the transfer drum includes a plurality of receiving sectors each configured to cyclically receive and retain a label, the receiving sectors including, a leading pad for retaining a leading edge of the label and a trailing pad for retaining a trailing edge of the label.

A labeling machine for applying labels to reusable containers includes at least one labeling assembly that includes a transfer drum provided peripherally with at least one sector that receives from a cutting roller a label; upstream of the labeling assembly there are spraying elements for spraying an adhesive material at least on the region of the containers that is adapted to receive the labels; the sector has at least one movable portion which can move between a first working condition, wherein the front end of the sector is arranged close to the axis of the transfer drum, and a second working condition, wherein the front end of the sector is arranged in a position that is spaced apart from the axis of the transfer drum, in order to allow the adhesion of the leading end of the label to the corresponding container.
