Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for applying decorative elements to containers, such as bottles, and to a corresponding method for providing containers with decorative elements.
- the adhesive may be prior to curing and applying the decorative material to the surface of the container so that the scored motif does not correspond to the desired motif.
- an apparatus and a method for furnishing containers with decorative elements indicate that offers a high flexibility with regard to the producible motifs and at the same time achieves a high quality of the applied decorative elements.
- the device according to the invention comprises a transport device for containers and an application device, which can lead a decoration material provided on a carrier tape to the surface of the container for applying at least a part of the decoration material to the surface of the container, and furthermore a pressure module arranged upstream of this application device, which adhesive can apply to areas of decorative material and / or the surface of the container. Furthermore, a first curing device arranged downstream of the printing module and upstream of the application device, which can pre-cure the adhesive before the decorative material passes by the surface of the container, is provided, and downstream of the application device, a second curing device is provided which deposits the adhesive after application of the decorative material the surface of the container can harden.
- the adhesive is prevented from running until the application of the decoration material or during the application of the decoration material due to the pressure when pressing the decoration material. Furthermore, it is achieved by the pre-curing that the decoration material already adheres well to the pre-cured adhesive or the decorative material adheres to the adhesive on the surface of the container. Furthermore, the intensity with which, for example, UV light must be provided for pre-curing can be reduced by the device according to the invention, since the pre-hardening no longer has to take place through the decoration material and the carrier tape or through other components of the device. For the subsequent curing, the necessary energy can be further reduced because the adhesive is already partially cured.
- the carrier tape in this case can be used as decorative material on the carrier tape vapor-deposited metal layers, for example, aluminum, chromium or tin.
- plastics can be provided for example by spraying on a corresponding carrier tape.
- suitable as decoration material on the carrier tape applied dye or paint layers in question.
- the decoration material on the carrier tape need not be applied as a continuous layer along the carrier tape.
- the carrier tape may also comprise separate areas with applied decorative material, so that decorating material can be saved in an environmentally friendly manner here.
- the carrier tape may be, for example, a carbon film or a polyolefin film.
- the combination of carrier tape and decorative material applied thereto is commonly referred to as a stamping foil.
- the application device comprises at least one pressure roller which can guide the decoration material past the surface of the container, wherein the pressure roller comprises a flexible outer layer, which can adapt to the surface contour of the container. This ensures that even with irregularly curved container surfaces, a complete pressing of the decorative material can take place.
- the application device further comprises a deflection roller, wherein an adjusting device is provided which can change the position of the deflection roller relative to the pressure roller for setting a separation angle of the decoration material of the carrier tape.
- an adjusting device is provided which can change the position of the deflection roller relative to the pressure roller for setting a separation angle of the decoration material of the carrier tape.
- the first and second hardening device comprise one of a UV light source or a heating module. Since, according to the invention, hardening of the adhesive through parts of the device is no longer necessary, instead of UV light sources, a radiant heater can also be used. For the same reason, the UV light sources only have to provide a lower intensity for hardening or pre-hardening, which considerably reduces the costs for these devices.
- the device comprises a discharge device which can convey the carrier tape out of the application device with parts of the decoration material not applied to the surface of the container, wherein the discharge device comprises a roll on which the carrier tape can be wound up, and / or a disposal container in which the parts of the decorative material can be disposed of. Unused parts of the decoration material together with the carrier tape can thus be used for other purposes or disposed of efficiently.
- the device comprises a dispensing device in which the decoration material is provided on the carrier tape for the application device and wherein the carrier tape with the decoration material can be transported by means of at least one deflection roller from the dispensing device into the application device.
- the use of one or more deflection rollers is particularly advantageous to increase the tension of the carrier tape and the decoration material thereon prior to pressing on the container or before applying the adhesive to the decoration material to prevent wrinkling.
- the dispensing device comprises a plurality of holders for rolls of carrier tapes with decorative material, and is designed to automatically start the supply of carrier tape with decoration material for the application device of another role at idle a roll. So downtime of the device can be reduced.
- the inventive method for furnishing containers with decorative elements comprises the steps of
- the adhesive is applied to areas on the surface of the container and the decoration material on the carrier tape by the application device pressed onto the surface of the container, wherein parts of the decorative material, which come into contact with the precured adhesive on the areas of the surface of the container, detached from the carrier tape and transferred to the areas of the surface of the container and the remaining parts of the decorative material on the Carrier tape remain.
- the decorative material remaining after that can be used for further method steps, for example to be applied again to areas of a subsequent container.
- the adhesive is applied to areas on the decoration material on the carrier tape and the decoration material on the carrier tape is pressed by the application device on the surface of the container, wherein the parts of the decoration material, which are provided with the pre-cured adhesive in the areas on the surface of the container remain and the remaining parts of the decoration material remain on the carrier tape.
- the detachment angle of the decoration material from the carrier tape is adjusted by adjusting the position of a deflection roller in relation to a pressure roller of the application device. Since, with differently shaped containers and the use of different materials of the decorative material, the optimum angle at which the decorative material dissolves from the carrier tape may vary, the optimum setting of the peel-off angle can always be ensured with this embodiment.
- the precuring and / or the curing of the adhesive takes place by irradiation with UV light or heat input.
- the carrier tape is provided with the decoration material of the application device by a dispensing device, wherein the dispensing device comprises a plurality of holders on which rollers are arranged with carrier tape with decorative material and wherein for supplying the carrier tape with the decoration material is unrolled from a roll and wherein at idle of a roll the dispensing means automatically begins to provide the carrier tape with the decoration material from another roll. Interruptions in the operation can be avoided, since empty roles can be exchanged during the supply of the carrier tape with the decoration material of another role.
- the container is printed after the curing of the adhesive in the areas at least in these areas, for example, printed directly by means of digital printing technology.
- other properties of the subject such as reflection properties or color, can be changed.
- FIG. 1 a and b schematic representation of the device according to two embodiments
- Figures 1a and 1b show alternative embodiments of the apparatus 100 for applying decorative elements to containers, such as bottles.
- both alternative embodiments have in common that they comprise a transport device 150 in which containers 130 can be transported.
- an application device 120 is provided, the decorative material, which is transported on a carrier tape 190, can pass on the surface of the container in the position 132 to the decorative material on the surface of the container at a corresponding transfer point 195th to apply.
- the decoration material can be designed differently.
- it may be a metal foil or metal layer, for example of aluminum or chromium, and tin.
- the decorative material may comprise a plastic substrate on which a generally metallic layer is applied. Also exclusively plastic-based decorative materials are conceivable.
- FIG. 1 a further provides a pressure module 101, which is arranged upstream of the application device 120.
- the printing module 101 is arranged next to the transport device 150 such that it can apply adhesive to areas of a container guided in the transport device 150 past the printing module 101. These are, for example, to the applied fields on the container motifs. In particular, it is provided that the adhesive is applied to areas of the container on which the decorative material is to adhere.
- a first curing device 105 is arranged according to the invention. This can pre-cure the adhesive that has been applied to the container 130 in the position 131 of a container guided past the first curing device 105 in the transport device 150.
- Pre-curing means that the adhesive properties of the adhesive are influenced in such a way that a decorative material pressed onto the adhesive adheres to it.
- the bonding forces between the pressed decorative material and the adhesive are greater than the binding forces between the decorative material and the carrier tape on which the decorative material is arranged, so that the decorative material at Pressing on the adhesive areas of the container releases from the carrier tape.
- the viscosity of the adhesive is increased by the pre-curing of the adhesive, so that the adhesive does not melt at the surface of the container or less than without pre-curing.
- the shape of the areas can be preserved, so that an applied motif (the applied decorative material) has the correct shape.
- the application device 120 arranged downstream of the first curing device 105 is arranged such that it can press the decoration material onto the carrier tape 190 at the transfer point 195 onto the container.
- the decoration material is applied to the entire surface facing the application device 120, which is in contact with the application device 120 in the transfer point 195. Areas of the decorative material, which come into contact with the precured adhesive in the areas on the surface of the container are thereby detached from the carrier tape and the rest of the decorative material due to the higher binding forces between the decorative material and the adhesive and remain on the surface of the container or on the accordingly provided with adhesive areas, while the remaining part of the decoration material remains on the carrier tape 190 and can be removed by the application device again.
- a second curing device 180 Downstream of the application device 120 is arranged a second curing device 180, which can cure the adhesive to which the decorative material has been applied in the previous step through the decorative material. The curing is carried out by the second curing device 180 such that the adhesive is completely cured.
- the adhesive is applied to the decoration material on the carrier tape 190.
- a pressure module 102 and a corresponding first curing device 106 are provided upstream of the application device 120.
- the printing module 102 and the first curing device 106 are arranged so that they can apply adhesive to the decoration material on the carrier tape 190 and can pre-cure the adhesive.
- they may be similar to the first hardening device 105 and the printing module 101 according to FIG. 1a. However, they are oriented so that the adhesive is applied to the decorative material on the carrier tape 190 and also the precuring of the adhesive on the decorative material on the carrier tape 190 takes place.
- the printing module and the first curing device necessarily have to be arranged upstream (with respect to the transport direction of the containers in the transport device), this is not the case for the printing module 102 and the first curing device 106 , These need only necessarily be arranged in the transport direction or in the conveying direction of the stamping foil from the carrier tape and the decoration material before the application device. This means that the printing module 102 and the first curing device 106 can certainly be arranged downstream of the application device 120 with regard to the transport direction of the containers in the transport device.
- a second curing device 180 Downstream of the application device 120, analogously to FIG. 1 a, a second curing device 180 is arranged, which can finally cure the adhesive between the container surface and the decorative material applied thereto. Since it is not relevant for this process step whether the decoration material has been provided with adhesive and has been transferred to the container or whether the adhesive has been applied to the surface of the container before the decoration material has been applied, the second curing device 180 in the embodiment according to FIG 1 a and Figure 1 b formed identical.
- the application device 120 can be embodied identically in the embodiments according to FIG. 1a and FIG. 1b.
- the application device 20 comprises a pressure roller 121, which can press the decoration material on the carrier tape 190 onto the surface of the container. The pressing takes place in the transfer point 195.
- the pressure roller 121 has a flexible outer surface, in particular a flexible layer.
- the pressure roller for example, a central Include shaft over which it is driven and rotated.
- the flexible outer layer Surrounding this shaft can be arranged the flexible outer layer, which consists for example of a rubber or a foam, which can deform under pressure.
- the flexible layer further consists of a material in whose production no release agent has been used to the printing process to influence negatively.
- the flexible layer deforms so that the surface contour of the pressure roller is adapted to the surface of the container.
- the transfer of the decoration material to the areas on the surface of the container can be done with high accuracy and in particular to ensure that the decoration material is pressed everywhere with the necessary pressure on the surface of the container on the areas.
- the application device 120 encompasses a deflection roller over which the carrier belt 190, as shown in FIGS. 1 a and 1 b, is guided by the pressure roller 121.
- the pulley can on the one hand, the tensile force acting on the carrier tape with the decorative material arranged thereon, increase, so that the carrier tape is always taut and it does not lead to undesirable deformation of the carrier tape, in particular wrinkling or sagging of the carrier tape.
- the deflection roller is movable relative to the pressure roller 121.
- the deflection roller can be moved in a plane defined by the axis of rotation of the pressure roller and the deflection roller 122 by means of an adjusting device, wherein these axes of rotation are always parallel to each other.
- the position of the deflection roller relative to the pressure roller can be adjusted at what angle the decoration material is released from the carrier tape. Since the optimum angle for the peeling of the decoration material depends on the materials used, the device 100 in this embodiment can be flexibly adapted with respect to the use of different decoration materials.
- the carrier tape with the decoration material is pressed tangentially and only at a certain angle onto the surface of the container and at the same time the optimum angle for detaching the decoration material from the carrier tape is set.
- the setting of the separation angle can be effected via a change of the deflection rollers depending on certain preset values.
- the adjusting device adjusts the position of the pressure roller according to a combination of the materials stored in a memory and the desired application speed.
- two deflection rollers which are designed to be correspondingly movable, are provided, wherein the first deflection roller is arranged in the direction of movement of the carrier belt in front of the pressure roller and the second deflection roller in the direction of movement of the carrier belt after the pressure roller.
- a dispensing device 140 may be provided in the device 100, in which the carrier tape is provided with the decorative material arranged thereon.
- the carrier tape is provided with the decorative material arranged thereon.
- one or more rollers may be arranged on corresponding holders 141.
- the carrier tape is rolled up with the decoration material and can be supplied to the application device 120.
- one or more deflection rollers 142 may be provided which allow the guide of the carrier tape with the decoration material from the rollers on the brackets 141 to the application device 120.
- a plurality of deflection rollers can be used in order to ensure a tension in the stamping foil in the transport direction of the stamping foil in the area in which the adhesive is applied to the decoration material on the carrier band and this is pre-cured, so that the adhesive can be applied to this without wrinkling in the carrier tape or the decorative material.
- a discharge device 160 may be downstream of the application device 120.
- This delivery device can be supplied via the application device, for example by means of the pressure roller and the possibly provided deflection roller, the "used" decoration material on the carrier tape to wind this example on rolls or to lead to corresponding disposal container 1 a and 1 b, and is transported along an endless conveyor and wound onto a roll provided, when the roll is full, the roll can be removed from the discharge device 160, and a roll can be removed Meanwhile, the conveyed stamping foil can be transported by the endless conveyor and the excess stamping foil can be wound onto the new roll by increasing the rotational speed of the new roll e interruption of the operation is not necessary here.
- the embossing film is wound up on rolls, it can be used again in further process steps, provided that a small area of the decoration material is applied to the container in comparison to the overall dimensions of the embossing film, in particular for dimensioning the embossing film in the longitudinal direction of the container. For example, if only individual dots are fired from the decoration material to be applied to the areas on the container, the decoration material on the carrier tape can be reused to provide other containers with decoration material.
- FIG. 2 a shows a first method step in which adhesive is applied in a region 210 to the container 130 by means of the printing module 101.
- the area 210 may correspond to a desired motif, such as a sequence of letters, numbers or images.
- the adhesive itself but also the area 210 do not correspond to a motive itself. Only the shape of the region 210 to which the adhesive is applied corresponds in shape and size to the motif to be applied.
- the printing module as a digital printing module, such as an ink-jet printing module is formed so that the applied motif, or the area is applied in the adhesive to the container 130, can be easily changed according to motif specifications.
- a different motif are applied by the area 210, which is applied by the printing module 01 adhesive, is changed.
- the adhesive is pre-cured in the regions by means of the first curing device 105, as shown in FIG. 1 a, so that a region 220 provided with pre-hardened adhesive is formed.
- the precured adhesive differs from the originally applied adhesive, in particular in its viscosity. This is higher compared to the first process step, so that the adhesive on the surface of the container 131 does not flow or significantly less. It is particularly advantageous if the flow velocity along a surface of the container, which is parallel to the direction of gravitational force, less than 1 mm / s, preferably less than 0.5 mm / s. This ensures that the adhesive on the surface of the container does not run until the decoration material is pressed onto this area 220.
- the stamping foil 250 consisting of the carrier strip 251 and the decoration material 252 applied thereto, is pressed onto the surface of the container by the application device, in particular by the pressure roller 121.
- the container can be rotated relative to the pressure roller 121 in order to press the decoration material to an extended area.
- portions of the decoration material remain adhered to the precured adhesive area 230 of the container 132 and disengage from the carrier tape 251, while the remainder of the decoration material remains on the carrier tape 251.
- the container in the pre-cured adhesive area 230 is provided with the decoration material.
- a gap corresponding to the region 230 is formed in this process.
- a region of the decoration material is dissolved out, which exactly corresponds to the region 230 in its shape and dimension.
- Figures 3a to 3c show an alternative embodiment in which the adhesive is applied to the decoration material on the carrier tape according to the embodiment of Figure 1b.
- adhesive is applied in the region 310 to the decorative material 352 on the carrier tape 351 by the printing module 102. This is preferably done in a region in which the embossing foil 350 comprising the carrier tape 351 and the decoration material arranged thereon is tensioned between two rollers, of which only one roller 142 is shown here. This ensures that the adhesive is on the right area or only on the intended area on the decoration material 352 is applied and continue to form no wrinkles in the carrier tape and the decorative material.
- the printing module 102 is followed by the first curing device 106 according to FIG. 1 b in the transport direction of the stamping foil 350.
- the adhesive is pre-cured in the region 320.
- the curing device 106 can be operated continuously, provided that the emitted radiation (for example UV light or heat) does not adversely affect the decorative material and the carrier tape, for example by changing material properties. In either case, the UV light or responsive heat emitted by the curing device 106 may be introduced in the region 320 to pre-cure the adhesive.
- the emitted radiation for example UV light or heat
- the decoration material 352 on the carrier tape 351 is then pressed against a container 132, wherein the precured adhesive comes into contact with the surface of the container and the decoration material in the region 331 is released from the carrier tape 351.
- a region of the container 132 can also be provided with decoration material which extends along the circumferential direction of the container, it can be provided that the container is analogous to the embodiment according to FIG. 2, while the decoration material 352 is pressed by, for example, the pressure roller 121 of the application device , is filmed.
- the corresponding second curing device can then follow, by means of which the adhesive is finally cured by the decoration material which has been applied to the container. It can also be provided that this curing is still carried out in the area of the application device, in particular by the pressure roller 121.
- the second curing device preferably emits UV light and the pressure roller 121 for the UV light is at least partially transparent, ie has an absorption coefficient in the ultraviolet range of less than 1, preferably less than 0.2. It is advantageous to form the pressure roller as a hollow roller, since the absorption can be further reduced.
- a further printing module or other printing modules is arranged, which is adapted to print the surface of the container, in particular the area 330 and the area 230, in which the decorative material on the Container was applied, is printed.
- a further printing module or other printing modules is arranged, which is adapted to print the surface of the container, in particular the area 330 and the area 230, in which the decorative material on the Container was applied, is printed.
