Abstract (en)

An apparatus (1) for drying outer surfaces of containers (2) to be labelled comprises a drying tunnel (3), having an entry (4) and an exit (5) and provided with nozzles (6) for blowing air within the tunnel (3) onto the containers (2) transiting in the tunnel, means for transporting the containers (2) within the drying tunnel (3) from the entry (4) to the exit (5), a conduit (8) connecting the tunnel (3) to a labelling device (9), in which the containers (2) are made to transit by the transport means, and air conditioning means (10) operatively active in the conduit (8) to define therein an air conditioned environment within which the containers (2) move between the exit (5) of the drying tunnel (3) and the labelling machine (9), in such a way as to prevent condensation from forming on the outer surface of the dried containers (2).
