Zusammenfassung: | Water and soapy lubricants are removed by an air knife assembly (26) from an area of a container (12) which is to be marked with a code by drop marking equipment (14). Each air knife (26) is positioned at appropriate pitch, roll and yaw angles to remove water only from the area which is to be drop marked, thereby avoiding damage to labels which have been applied, but not yet bonded, to the container (12). The dewatering ensures the proper marking of the product. The angular orientation of each air knife (26) may comprise a yaw angle of about 64 DEG relative to the longitudinal axis of the conveyor, a pitch angle of about 25 DEG from the horizontal, and a roll angle of about 52 DEG . |
