PALLET CAROUSEL FOR TRANSFERRING LABELS FROM A LABEL MAGAZINE TO CONTAINERS AND METHOD FOR SUCKING LABELS ON A PALLET CAROUSEL

摘要

A pallet carousel (1) for removing labels (2) from a label magazine (3) and for transferring the labels to the container (4) and a corresponding method for sucking the labels on the pallet carousel are described. Accordingly, the pallet carousel comprises a stationary machine part (5) with a central vacuum supply and with a vacuum channel (7) connected to it and running along a circular path. Furthermore, the pallet carousel comprises a rotor (8) sealingly connected to the vacuum channel with vacuum connections (9) distributed along the orbit, which are connected to individual vacuum pallets (10) mounted on the carousel and which connect them to the vacuum channel when it is passed over. Because the vacuum channel is divided into several separate segments along the orbit and these are connected to the vacuum supply via individually controllable valves, the vacuum supply of individual vacuum pallets can be specifically prevented if they are not supposed to take up a label from the label magazine and / or not are equipped with a label.
