| 20130140745 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING AND TREATING CONTAINERS - A method for producing plastic containers by a production process, which is either drape forming and blow molding, using a preform in a drape forming or blow molding machine, and for subsequent treatment of the plastic containers in a treatment station of a container treatment line includes, prior to completion of the production process, determining first positional data associated with the container at a location, wherein the first positional data is selected from the group consisting of angular position of a container and angular position of a design feature on the container, and wherein the location is selected from the group consisting of the production machine, a conveying line that precedes the production machine, and a treatment line that precedes the production machine, and passing the first positional data to the treatment station for control thereof. | 06-06-2013 |
| 20130157826 | METHOD FOR DIGITALLY PRINTING CONTAINERS AND CONTAINER HAVING AT LEAST ONE PRINT OR PRINTED IMAGE - A method for digitally printing on containers by producing a printed multi-colored image on a print layer disposed on a middle layer, the middle layer being one of an intermediate layer and a base layer. The method includes applying the middle layer on an outer surface of a substrate formed by a container wall. An adhesion characteristic between the middle layer and the print layer differs from an adhesion characteristic between the middle layer and the substrate, wherein the adhesion characteristic is selected from the group consisting of adhesion strength and adhesion rate, and wherein the different adhesion characteristics are set by at least one of choice of materials used for the layers and crosslinking of the intermediate layer and the print layer. | 06-20-2013 |
| 20130160405 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING CONTAINERS - A method for treating containers in which, at a treatment station, the containers are provided on container outer surfaces thereof with a print that including a colorant. The colorant can be dye or ink. The method includes, at a treatment station, processing the colorant by irradiating the containers with non-thermal energy radiation. Processing the colorant includes drying or curing it. The method also includes decontaminating a region of the containers with the same radiation, either by disinfecting or sterilizing it. The region includes either or both a container opening and a container inner surface. | 06-27-2013 |
| 20140208699 | DEVICE FOR TREATING PACKAGES, AND HOLDING-AND-CENTERING UNIT FOR PACKAGES - An apparatus for printing different colors on packages includes holding-and-centering units, each having a primary and a secondary part. The primary part is held at a holding position during package handling. The secondary part is mounted in the primary part to be rotatable about a vertical axis of the unit. The secondary part receives a functional element necessary for handling a package. A plurality of secondary parts adapted to different types, forms and/or sizes of packages are associated with the primary parts. | 07-31-2014 |
| 20140290515 | DEVICE FOR PROCESSING CONTAINERS - An extractor for placement adjacent to a rotor having processing positions in a circumferential area thereof extracts contaminants arising during container processing. The extractor has a hood forming an interior, an extractor channel, baffles, flow channels, and a joint suction channel. In operation, the hood, which does not move with the rotor, extends over part of the circumferential area. The hood's interior opens radially towards the rotor and is connected by the extractor channel to a suction device. The baffles, which are formed by wall elements in the hood interior, define the flow channels. The flow channels are open on a side of the hood that faces the rotor, and open inside the extractor hood into the joint suction channel. | 10-02-2014 |
| 20140313247 | DEVICE FOR APPLYING DECORATIONS TO CONTAINERS - An apparatus for use in connection with application of decoration to a container by printing thereon includes a container transport system comprising a processing position configured to receive a container, a coating installation disposed at the processing position, and a transfer element. The transfer element applies a base coat to the container by rolling on or off the container. | 10-23-2014 |
| 20140374016 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR TREATING PACKAGING MEANS BY APPLYING DECORATIONS - A method for applying decorations to packages includes applying a main decoration to the package, and applying a detachable part label with a reduced adhesion strength. The part label is provided on a region of the main decoration and takes up part of a surface region of the main decoration. The part label is printed on by using a digital printing process controlled by a computer that relies on a digital printing mask that is stored or generated by the computer. The computer controls the print head to cause it to print a print on the part label after the part label has been applied to the package. | 12-25-2014 |
