Method and plant for applying a heat-shrinkable lable to containers

摘要

A container labelling method consisting of predisposing means for supporting at least one container in an erect position; from below, mounting onto the body of said at least one container a heat-shrinkable label in the form of an annular band; and causing the label to adhere to said container. The method is implemented by a plant comprising a device for supporting and transporting at least one container which acts from above on the container suspended in an erect position; means for mounting a heat-shrinkable annular band onto the container from below; and means for causing said label to adhere to said container by heat-shrinkage.

主权项

1. A labelling plant for containers having a rim or collar, comprising:
a support device for directly supporting at least two containers held by means that attach to the collar on each of said containers, and for transporting at least one of the containers which is suspended in an erect position; means for slidably moving said at least two containers along said support device; means for mounting at the same time a heat-shrinkable annular band onto each of said at least two containers acting from below the containers; means for causing said annular bands to adhere to said containers by heat-shrinkage; wherein said means for mounting a heat-shrinkable annular band onto each of said containers comprise at least one vertically movable support plate to transport the annular bands which are disposed vertically; and the means for causing each of the annular bands to adhere by heat shrinkage is supported on said support plate.
