An apparatus for attaching a shrinkable label on a product placed on a conveyor, by irradiating light onto the shrinkable label, comprises two sets of light emitters which are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the conveyor along a defined length of the conveyor to form an irradiation volume through which the conveyor passes. The light emitters are configured to emit directed light bundles into the irradiation volume in different directions. In a plan view of the apparatus, the directions of the light bundles intersect with a longitudinal central axis of the conveyor. The intersection points of the directions of the light bundles emitted from the light emitters on a same side of the conveyor with the longitudinal central axis of the conveyor differ from each other.

The present disclosure relates to a discharge apparatus for discharging an assembly of interconnected guiding elements, having a support having at least one support section configured to support the assembly of interconnected guiding elements and the flexible pouch containers carried therein; a gripping unit configured to grip a first guiding element of the guiding element assembly and displace the first guiding element together with one or more interconnected further guiding elements of the guiding element assembly in a transport direction substantially perpendicular to the lengthwise direction of the first guiding element; and a disconnection unit configured to disconnect at least the gripped and displaced first guiding element from a neighboring second guiding element, the disconnection unit having a movable wedge and a wedge drive unit configured to move the wedge between the first and second guiding elements, thereby disconnecting the first guiding element from the second guiding element.

Apparatus and method for discharging guiding elements

The present disclosure relates to a method of attaching a shrinkable label on at least one product wherein the shrinkable label comprises a film comprising heat shrinkable material and photothermic material, the method comprising:

Method, apparatus and system for attaching a label on a product

The present disclosure relates to a container sleeving device, system and method for arranging sleeves on a plurality of containers, wherein the sleeves are made of tubular foil material made to pass over the circumferential outer surface of a spreading element, the container sleeving device comprising:&#x2014;a spreading element configured to spread open the tubular foil material passing from a proximal spreading element portion () towards a distal spreading element portion ();&#x2014;a cutting unit () for cutting the spread-open tubular foil material to form a sleeve;&#x2014;a sleeve discharge unit () configured to accelerate the sleeve to move over the outer surface of the distal spreading element portion so as to discharge the sleeve towards a container; wherein the distal spreading element portion and/or the proximal spreading element portion has one or more pressure regulating openings configured to regulate the pressure close to the outer surface of the distal spreading element portion and/or of the proximal spreading element portion.

Container sleeving device, system and method

The present disclosure relates to a discharge apparatus for discharging a plurality of flexible spouted containers, the apparatus comprising: a container support comprising a support element with an elongated opening for carrying a row of spouts of a plurality of spouted containers from an inlet to an outlet, wherein the inlet of the support element is configured to receive successive batches of spouted containers in the elongated opening; a biasing unit configured to move at least a subset of the spouts received inside the elongated opening in the support element towards the outlet, wherein the biasing unit further is configured to continuously apply a biasing force to the subset of spouts to continuously discharge the containers from the outlet.

Apparatus and method for discharging spouted containers

Method and device for forming a continuous tubular foil (). Foil () is supplied and buffered. Foil () is supplied as flattened tubular foil () from a supply. A next piece of foil () is supplied from a next supply. The ends of tubular foil () are connected. This then allows supplying and buffering next tubular foil () supplied from the next supply. The device and method allow connecting the ends of tubular foils () by opening the end () of the next flattened tubular foil () supplied from the next supply and moving the end of the flattened tubular foil () in an upstream direction () into the opened end of next tubular foil () from the next supply. Connection is made using a tape () applied onto the foil ends ().

Device and method for providing a continuous tubular foil

The invention relates to a device for forming sleeve-like foil envelopes from a flat strip of foil material (), at least comprising supply means () for supplying the flat strip of foil material; cutting means () for cutting the strip of foil material through over the entire width thereof so as to obtain a foil envelope strip of a specific length having a first and a second free edge (); at least one enveloping unit, around which the foil envelope strip is to be wrapped; joining means disposed near said enveloping unit for joining said first and said second free edge together, so as to obtain a sleeve-like foil envelope; as well as discharge means for discharging the sleeve-like foil envelope thus formed from the enveloping unit.

Device for forming sleeve-like foil envelopes from a flat strip of foil material

A device for forming envelopes from a continuous flat strip of a sleeve-like foil material, comprising a supply member, a cutting member for making a cut over the full width of the material so as to provide individual envelopes, and a discharge member for discharging the envelopes. The cutting member comprises at least two cutting elements movable relative to the strip of material, each cutting element comprising at least one cutting blade extending parallel to the width of the strip, such that the individual cutting blades form several partial cuts contiguous to each other in the foil material over the width thereof in successive cutting operations.

Device for forming sleeve-like foil envelopes

Method and device for connecting the end of a flattened tube of plastic foil to the beginning of a subsequent tube, said tubes being used in particular for applying sleeves onto bottles or like objects. The leading end of the beginning of a flattened tube is provided with an obliquely cut away corner at both longitudinal edges. The thus established two loose lips are separated from each other and the end of the spent tube is slid between the lips and fixed in relation to said lips. The materials of said tubes are melted together by a short-time, pressurized supply of heat.
