Abstract
A system for the high speed application of pressure sensitive labels to products includes an apertured label receiving head having both some vacuum apertures or ports and also some high pressure blower apertures or ports. Connected to the vacuum ports is a main vacuum conduit and similarly connected to the high pressure blower ports is a source of high pressure air which is applied in pulses to an input high pressure air conduit. The labels are dispensed across the faceplate of the unit and are held onto the faceplate by the vacuum applied to the vacuum apertures or ports. When it is desired to apply a label to the product, a pulse of high pressure air is applied to the unit and a shuttle valve within the faceplate or immediately adjacent thereto, is actuated by the high pressure pulse of air to slide across and close off the vacuum conduit, while high pressure air is simultaneously applied to all of the blower ports to blow the label across onto the product.
