Definitions

  • the invention relates to a mechanically detachable label made of paper, aluminum, plastic film or compositions thereof for application to glass and / or plastic bottles or for the identification of tradable objects of all kinds, such as bottle crates or the like, with at least one for adhesion to the object activatable substance which contains a first substance which can be incorporated into the label material and / or which can be applied to the rear side and which enables mechanical detachment, and a second substance which is applied to its rear side and which has adhesion promoter properties.
  • Such labels are widely used as stomach and breast labels, but also as back labels and neck foils, particularly in the beverage market.
  • the high filling speed, for example of beer bottles with up to 70,000 bottles per hour, the extremely different weather conditions to which such bottles are exposed, and the tougher environmental conditions in connection with the cleaning of the bottled goods put a strain on both the labels themselves and their printing and gluing very high requirements in many respects.
  • hand-peelable labels are known, the advertising objective of which is also mediated via the back of the label, such labels having specially coated backside coatings which ensure mechanical detachment from a glass bottle, but with a relatively slow pull-off speed.
  • Labels with special preparation and detaching properties can be removed from bottles but also bottle crates and other objects in the dry state by means of brush machines and water-spraying machines or the like, almost without residue, and at throughput speeds that do correspond to the filling and thus the labeling speed.
  • the procedure is such that the labels held in the bundle in the labeling machine, on the back of which are not specially prepared for re-detachment, are individually glued on the back by feeding a liquid adhesive to a glue station via a glue roller, which is then transferred to glue pallets.
  • the glue pallets are then guided to the label magazine via an associated pallet carousel. Due to the glue film on the glue pallets, the labels in the label magazine with the back facing the glue pallet are individually removed and fed together with the movement of the glue pallet to a gripper which intermittently takes over the labels.
  • a glue splitting takes place between the back of the label and the pallet, so that the labels carry enough adhesive on their back.
  • the gripper cylinder transports the glued labels to a bottle table, where they are blown air and sponges transfer the labels to the bottles and hold them there.
  • the bottles then pass through soft brush or sponge pressure surfaces in a pressing section in order to subsequently be released.
  • the back coating according to the present invention with the two fabric components that are tailored to special release properties not only results in a problem-free labeling in an advantageous manner, but also shows a high weather resistance for the durability of the label before the bottle return, which is suitable for the temperatures and Moisture is also suitable in extreme weather conditions.
  • the previously usual alkali concentration can also be considerably reduced, as can the washing temperature at which the bottle is cleaned.
  • Good paper smoothness, especially for printability, is a prerequisite and essential requirement for the starting material, as is good flatness for problem-free labeling, as is weather resistance with regard to light, sun and rain in a temperature range of at least minus 25 ° C to plus 65 ° C.
  • the already mentioned condensation resistance means that a detachment or only a detachment of the label, and here in particular the above-mentioned back coating by condensation water, may not occur under any circumstances, but nevertheless the penetration of the label for the damp delivery of activity from the back to the front and thus must be guaranteed for the required drying process.
  • times between 20 and 48 hours are specified, depending on the storage conditions.
  • the separating layer must be such that the glue applied to it in no way dissolves or even penetrates this coating medium, since otherwise an adhesion to the paper fiber which is to be prevented under all circumstances takes place and the desired mechanical detachment is no longer possible.
  • the two substances i.e. the release medium and the adhesion promoter or the glue layer, on the one hand, must be inert to one another, so they must not show any additional chemical reactions or undesirable mixtures, but on the other hand, they must not repel each other, i.e., for example Behave water and oil.
  • the gluing image of the labels which is shown in a preferred embodiment in FIG. 1, is also important and essential. It is particularly important here that the glue does not come into contact with the cut edges of the label, since otherwise the paper fiber is bonded precisely in this area. In addition to the change in the glue palette necessary for the function to specify such a gluing pattern, the glue consumption can be further reduced as a result. As shown in FIG. 1, the gluing pattern or the glue pallet L is set back around the entire circumferential edge of the label B, practical values of 2 to 5 mm seem reasonable, the middle one The area between the upper and lower gripper recesses G is set back by a further 2 mm.
  • the gluing consists of screened individual gluing fields, which are delimited by glue-free webs running parallel to the longitudinal direction and parallel to the transverse direction.
  • the glue-free webs each run at the level of the gripper recesses that were already provided in the previously known gluing operations.
  • the separating medium is evenly distributed over the entire back of the label, and is not based on the specified gluing pattern.
  • so-called predetermined gluing points in the form of points arranged in a grid can also be specified for the separation medium, i.e. Openings in the backside release agent coating through which the glue application reaches the fiber structure of the label material itself.
  • Such predetermined gluing points are desired for a number of applications, in particular for checking purposes.
  • Bottle labels made of: Thickness in ⁇ Weight g / m2 Penetration sec.
