A labelling device for syringes for pharmaceutical products includes a carousel that holds and transports syringes, a syringe labelling station, a syringe handler, a camera for detecting the position of the marker scale of the syringes. The syringe labelling station includes an arm responsible for holding the label by a suction system and two articulated gates arranged such that when the syringe passes therethrough, the gates apply pressure over the body of the syringe in such a way that the label is affixed uniformly over the body.

A device for automatically orienting containers to be labeled entering a labeling machine, which includes at least one emitter device, which is adapted to emit electromagnetic radiation toward the containers, elements of detecting the electromagnetic radiation reflected by the containers, and processing and control elements adapted to identify the position of the optically detectable defects on each one of the containers; the emitter device including a lighting module with an emitting face which has at least one first emitting portion and is associated with a plurality of first sources of electromagnetic radiation of a first type which are designed to activate/deactivate the first emitting portion; the emitting face of the lighting module further including a second emitting portion, and an associated plurality of second sources of electromagnetic radiation of a second type, different from the first type, which are designed to activate/deactivate the second emitting portion.

Disclosed is a method for producing containers filled with beverages, wherein a container closure has a closure cap screwed onto a mouth of the container, a securing device arranged in a longitudinal direction of the container below the mouth, a connecting strand which connects the securing device to the closure cap, a first fastening section which the connecting strand is attached to the closure cap, and a second fastening section which the connecting strand is arranged on the securing device, wherein the containers are transported using a transport device and are inspected using an inspection device, wherein a rotational position of the container closure relative to the container and/or a rotational position of the container is determined, wherein after the inspection, the containers are provided with a label and/or a print, wherein the determined rotational position of the container closure is taken into account.

A container treatment machine comprises a treatment unit, for the treatment of containers, and container receptacles, in which containers can be received such that they can rotate about an axis, the container treatment machine comprising a camera, for capturing an image of a container transported upstream of the treatment unit in a container receptacle, and an alignment module, the alignment module being designed to rotate a container into a target position by actuating the container receptacle. The alignment module comprises a neural network, which, by processing the image of a container transported upstream of the treatment unit in a container receptacle, can determine a necessary rotation of the container from the current position of same to the target position, and the alignment module can control the rotation of the container receptacle on the basis of the determined rotation.

A method for aligning a window on a container to a predetermined rotational position without the use of an orientation aid, such as an eyespot, embossing, debossing, or an asymmetrical feature on the container. A device for aligning a window on a container to a predetermined rotational position without the use of an orientation aid, such as an eyespot, embossing, debossing, or an asymmetrical feature on the container.

A label positioning mechanism has a conveying mechanism, a label dispensing mechanism disposed on a side of the conveying mechanism, a first labeling mechanism disposed together with the label dispensing mechanism on the same side of the conveying mechanism and positioned proximate to the label dispensing side, and a second labeling mechanism which is disposed on another side of the conveying mechanism and opposes the first labeling mechanism. A first tight-fitting winding belt of the first labeling mechanism and a second tight-fitting winding belt of the second labeling mechanism move in opposite transmission directions and come into contact with each other to rotate bottles. Therefore, the label positioning mechanism is capable of rotating labeled bottles by a specific angle by adjusting the speeds of the conveying mechanism, the first tight-fitting winding belt, and the second tight-fitting winding belt so as to render ensuing processes speedy.

The invention relates to a container handling machine comprising at least one container receiver having a rotary plate and comprising a rotary plate direct drive for driving the rotary plate, wherein the rotary plate direct drive comprises a motor which is designed with a stator, a rotor, a shaft joined to the rotor for transmitting a drive torque to the rotary plate and with a shaft sealing system for sealing the shaft, wherein the shaft sealing system comprises a running surface and at least one counteractive sealing lip, wherein the shaft is designed as one piece at least from the rotor and through the shaft sealing system, and in that the running surface is joined to the shaft for conjoint rotation and in a manner such that it is decoupled from the transmission of the drive torque.

This invention relates to a machine and a method for labelling and inspecting containers for liquids, automatically applying a label on each container on a seamless zone of it, using an optical inspection device provided with an illuminator having a collimator interposed between a light generator of the illuminator and a carousel of the machine.

A machine for moving containers to be processed along a feed path. Containers are fed to an infeed station and an infeed transfer unit. The infeed transfer unit is configured to pick up one container at a time and carry it to a loading station of a carousel. The carousel includes supports for the containers. A detector detects an initial orientation of each container. A control unit calculates the angle of rotation of each support in order to orient each container loaded on a support of the carousel in a final predetermined orientation as a function of the initial orientation detected by the detector and the movement of the transfer unit. The support is rotated by the calculated angle of rotation.
