    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a hot glue method for applying hot glue onto labels and/or containers using the hot glue unit, and to a glue vapor suction device for a labeler, comprising a suction opening, a suction, a pre-separation unit, a filter unit, and an outlet opening, which are arranged in communication with one another successively by lines in a direction of flow of the glue vapor through a fluid line system. At least one sensor system is arranged in the suction for verifying proper operation of the glue vapor suction. A hot glue unit is provided comprising at least one glue roller, a glue container, and a housing in which the glue roller is arranged. The hot glue unit comprises a glue vapor suction device connected to the housing for sucking glue vapor from the interior of the housing before it exits the hot glue unit.
