摘要:
There is described a labelling unit (15) comprising: support means (20); a receiving member (22), adapted to carry an article (3) on its top end (23) as well as to receive a label (2) on its lateral surface (24), and supported by the support means (20) in a translating and rotating manner with respect to a given axis (F); driving means (40) selectively activated to rotate the receiving member (22) about the axis (F) and including a driving shaft (41) carried by the support means (20) in a rotating manner about the axis (F) and engaging an axial hole (43) of the receiving member (22); and releasable fastening means (54) to connect the driving shaft (41) to the receiving member (22) in a predetermined axial position; the releasable fastening means (54) comprise a spline element (55) movable transversely to the axis (F) between a retaining position, in which it locks axially the receiving member (22) onto the driving shaft (41), and a release position, in which the spline element (55) allows extraction of the receiving member (22) from the driving shaft (41) and the support means (20) along the axis (F).
摘要:
There is described a labelling unit (15) to apply a label (2) onto a non-cylindrical label receiving portion (6) of an article (3); the labelling unit (15) comprises support means (20) and a receiving member (21) adapted to carry the article (3) on its top end (22) as well as to receive the label (2) on its lateral wall (23), and supported by the support means (20) in a translational manner along a given axis (F) between a raised position, in which it axially protrudes from the support means (20) and is adapted to receive the label (2) wrapped around its lateral wall (23), and a retracted position, in which it is housed within the support means (20) so as to permit insertion of the article (3) into the label (2) welded in an endless configuration; the receiving member (21) comprises at least two distinct sectors (36, 37), at least a first one of which movable with respect to the other transversely to the axis (F); the receiving member (21) is set in a first cylindrical configuration, during wrapping of the label (2) around its lateral wall (23), and, in a second non-cylindrical configuration by moving the first sector (36, 37) with respect to the other after the label (2) has been welded in the endless configuration and prior to inserting the article (3) into the endless label (2).

摘要:
A valve (1) has a magnetic actuator (25), which is provided with a sleeve (18) extending along an axis (12), with a movable core (27) made of ferromagnetic material and axially guided by the inner surface of the sleeve (18), and with a magnetic stator (26) arranged in fixed position around the sleeve (18); the stator (26) has a housing (35) made of ferromagnetic material, a coil (36) facing the external surface of the sleeve (18), and two magnets (37,38), which are aligned with the coil (36), are arranged on opposite axial sides of the coil (36) and have a same pole aimed against each other; the valve (1) has a conduit (9) with a valve seat (48) axially facing a plug member (49), which is coaxial and fixed with respect to an end portion (44) of the core (27), so as to open/close the valve seat (48); the core (27) has at least one passage (45) allowing a fluid to flow through the core (27) and comprises two end portions (43,44) of larger diameter.
摘要:
A line to convey containers, in particular bottles, which is provided with a plurality of pick and place units (6) each defined by a respective pair of picking members (7, 8), each of which has a support pin (16, 20), a hub (13, 19) fitted on the support pin (16, 20) in a rotary manner, and a gear (17, 21) coupled to the gear (17, 21) of the other picking member (7, 8); the hub (13) and the gear (17) of at least one picking member (7) being manufactured as one single piece, manufactured by moulding a plastic material through and around a metallic jaw (12).
摘要:
The invention relates to a container handling machine (1) having at least one operative unit (18) in turn comprising support means (21) to support a shaped container (3), and a plunger (29) selectively moved along a given axis (E) to deform a base (12) of the container (3) from a first swollen configuration to a second configuration, in which the base (12) is in part retracted inwardly of the container (3) with respect to the first configuration so as to form a recess (14) delimited by a boundary surface (16c) defining an internal volume of the container (3) smaller than that in the first configuration; the plunger (29) is provided with a shaped head (37) interacting with the container base (12) and comprising: first engaging means (37a) having a profile complementary to the profile of second engaging means (16a) of the container base (12) and adapted to be coupled to the second engaging means (16a) in the first configuration of the base (12) for centering the container (3) along the axis (E) prior to start deformation of the base (12); and an interacting surface (37b), distinct from the first engaging means (37a) and having a profile complementary to the profile of at least part of the boundary surface (16c) of the recess (14) of the base (12) in the second configuration.
摘要:
An automated system (20) for predictive maintenance of a filling machine (1), having a number of filling units (10) designed to engage at least one respective container (2) to carry out filling thereof with a filling product. A control module (25), operatively coupled to the filling machine (1), acquires operating data relating to the performance of the filling units (10) during the filling operations; and process the acquired operating data to predict the occurrence of a fault in one or more of the filling units (10).
摘要:
There is disclosed a manifold (10) for conveying a sterilizing fluid inside a empty articles (2) movable about an axis (A), comprising: a stator (25), which defines at least one first duct (28) and a second duct (28) for the sterilizing fluid, each being connectable to a source of sterilizing agent through a first opening (27), and each comprising a second opening (24); a rotor (35), which defines one third duct (38a, 38b) and a fourth duct (38b, 38a) for sterilizing fluid; each third and fourth duct (38a, 38b) having a third opening (39) and a fourth opening (40); and a mask (45) interposed between first ducts (28) and third duct (38a, 38b) and configured to allow sterilizing agent to flow from first ducts (28) to fourth duct (38a, 38b); first duct and second duct (28) extend, at second opening (24), radially to said axis (A).
