Abstract:

An incorrect label removal system is disclosed for removing unwanted labels from a web of labels in a labeling machine. The incorrect label removal system includes a label peel assembly positioned between two fixed points along the direction of travel of the web of labels. The label peel assembly provides a first orientation in which labels remain on the web as the web passes the label peel assembly, and selectively provides a second orientation in which labels are removed from the web. The label peel assembly provides that a length of the web between the two fixed points is substantially the same when the label peel assembly is in each of the first orientation and the second orientation.

The peel assembly includes a roller support structure and a roller. The roller support structure includes a cavity, and the cylindrical roller is receivable in the roller support structure. As the web travels over the roller support structure, the roller may rotate with respect to the roller support and theweb is separated from a label as the web rotates with the cylindrical roller.
