Abstract (en)

There is described a labelling module (8) for applying labels (2) obtained from a web (3) of labelling material onto articles (4) adapted to contain a pourable product, the labelling module (8) comprises: a feed system (10) for feeding the web (3) along a feeding path; a cutting unit (11) for repeatedly cutting the web (3) at a cutting station (C) thereby obtaining a sequence of labels (2) therefrom; and a transfer unit (12) for receiving the sequence of labels (2) and for transferring them to an application station (A) for the application thereof onto respective articles (4); the cutting unit (11) defines a plurality of cutting pairs, each cutting pair comprises one first cutting member (14a; 15a) and one second cutting member (15a, 15b, 15c, 15d; 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d) which are configured for cooperating with one another to cut the web (3); the cutting unit (11) is configured to cyclically convey the cutting pairs through the cutting station (C); each cutting pair is selectively controllable in an activated configuration, for cyclically cutting the web (3) at the cutting station (C) thereby causing the separation of the labels (2) from the web (3), and in a deactivated configuration, in which the cutting pair is spaced from the web (3) at the cutting station (C).
