Abstract:
A printing device for containers, such as bottles, cans or cups, with a screen to apply a screen print onto the containers, where a squeegee holding device that is guided by a continuous track holds an squeegee in such a way that while the printed image is being applied to the container, one end of the squeegee scrapes across the screen and forces ink through the screen onto one of the containers, and where the distance between the end of the squeegee and the squeegee holding device varies. Also, a container handling device, in the manner of a bottling plant, with such a printing device and a mechanical turret designed to guide the containers to a surface of the container contact device facing away from the squeegee. Also, a method for applying ink to containers in accordance with a screen printing principle.
Abstract:
A device used for plasma-enhanced coating of a container, e.g. a plastic bottle, and/or a container blank, e.g. a container preform, with at least one high-frequency source, at least one gas feed for feeding process gas, and at least one plasma source, e.g. a plasma nozzle. The plasma source has an inner electrode surrounded by a nozzle tube, the plasma source is adapted to be introduced in a container to be coated and configured such that it is able to generate a plasma under ambient pressure, e.g. in a pressure range of 800 to 1,200 hPA, and the plasma can be discharged from a nozzle tube end. The temperature of the generated plasma lies within the range of the ambient temperature, e.g. between 10 and 50 ° C. The nozzle tube of the plasma source includes a longitudinal nozzle tube element and a lateral nozzle tube element projecting laterally from the longitudinal nozzle tube element (201). Plasma is dischargeable through the lateral nozzle tube end.
Abstract:
A device for the transfer of fittings, such as labels during container labelling, having at least two gripper units that are offset in the circumferential direction around a transfer axis of a transfer station whereby it is possible to activate each in a clocked manner, whereby each of said gripper units takes over, via a movement around the transfer axis generated via a drive, a fitting individually from a moving take-over position of a feeder and transfers it through the transfer station to a moving hand-over position that is offset in the circumferential direction of the transfer station, at least two of the gripper units are arranged such that they can be moved around the transfer axis relative to one another, and stationary drive motors are provided for the gripper units that can be moved relative to one another, with which drive motors individually periodically non-uniform movements of the gripper units can be generated in the circumferential direction within one rotation. According to the method, each gripper unit is driven within one full rotation in the transfer station, relative to another, in a periodically non-uniform manner.
Abstract:
A device for transferring fittings having at least two gripper units offset in the circumferential direction around a transfer axis of a transfer station. Each gripper unit can be activated in a clocked manner, whereby each gripper unit takes over from a feeder, via a movement around the transfer axis generated by an electric servomotor, at least one container fitting individually from a moving take-over position of a feeder and transfers it through the transfer station to a moving hand-over position offset in the circumferential direction of the transfer station. The gripper units are arranged such that they move around the transfer axis relative to one another. The transfer station includes the electric servomotors as drive motors of the gripper units for generating within one full revolution of each gripper unit individually periodically non-uniform movements of the gripper units in the circumferential direction.
