Abstract

A printing machine (10) for printing on the outer surface of a cork, having a rotatable carrier assembly (11) having first and second Ferris wheels (25, 26) mounted about a common axis for synchronous rotation. Each of the Ferris wheels includes respective first and second pluralities of cork carriers (38) laterally-mounted thereon for rotation relative to the Ferris wheels. Each of the cork carriers is adapted for holding and carrying a cork to be printed during rotation. A feeder (13) simultaneously presents successive corks to successive cork carriers of both the first and second Ferris and for loading the corks into the cork carriers. An indexing drive system provides synchronous, incremental rotation of the carriers around the circumference of a respective one of the Ferris wheels and through a predetermined sequence of cork processing steps and ejection from the printing machine. A printer (15) prints an image on an exterior surface of the cork as the cork is rotated by the cork carrier in which the cork is carried.
