Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016173742A1] The invention relates to an apparatus (1) for labelling individual products (2), in particular packs or articles, having an advancement device (3) for transporting a respective product (2) along a transporting path, having a label-applying device (4) with an air-blast head (5) for applying a label (6) to the surface of the product (2), wherein the air-blast head (5) has retaining means (7) for fixing the label (6) in an air-blast position (II) and air-blast means (8) for generating a blast of compressed air directed in an air-blast direction (A) from the air-blast position (II) to the advancement device (3), and having a label-dispensing device (9) for supplying a label (6) in a dispensing position (I). In order for it to be as straightforward as possible for labels (6) to be transferred precisely onto a surface of a product (2) which is to be labelled, the invention proposes that the label-applying device (4) should have a conveying unit (11) for transporting the respective label (6) from the dispensing position (I) to the air-blast position (II), wherein the conveying unit (11) has a transporting element (12) and a means (14) for generating contact-pressure force. The invention also relates to a method for labelling individual products (2).
