Abstract:
A sticker machine, for peeling a sticker from a liner paper during a conveying process of the sticker. The sticker machine includes a turning peeling portion, configured to cause the sticker to be peeled from the liner paper by conveying the liner paper in a direction different from a travel direction of the sticker; and a sticker guiding portion, configured to guide the sticker to be conveyed in a prescribed direction to the turning peeling portion, for causing the sticker after being peeled to enter an output port. In a conveying direction of the sticker, the sticker guiding portion is disposed at a position further upstream than the turning peeling portion.
Abstract:
A proppant delivery assembly receives and supports a plurality of containers having proppant stored therein. A cradle has a top surface which receives and supports the plurality of containers when positioned thereon. The cradle enables the plurality of containers to dispense the proppant stored therein. A proppant mover is positioned to underlie and extend along the top surface of the cradle aligned with the plurality of containers to receive proppant from the plurality of containers. The proppant mover carries proppant away from the plurality of containers. A chute is coupled to the cradle for receiving proppant from the proppant mover and directing the proppant to a blender hopper. A hood assembly is disposed at an end of the chute opposite the proppant mover for directing a vacuum air flow that removes a volume of air containing proppant dust particles directed from the chute. The hood assembly includes a curtain extending about a perimeter of the hood assembly and downward therefrom to at least partially define the volume of air being removed by the hood assembly.

Abstract:
A label dispenser apparatus configured for dispensing labels from a plurality of rolls of a carrier film having labels disposed thereon. The label dispenser apparatus includes a lower roll retaining member and a upper tape guide assembly. The lower roll retaining member includes a front edge, a back edge and a concave surface therebetween. The concave surface being configured to cradle a roll of film having labels disposed thereon. The upper tape guide assembly is spaced apart therefrom and includes a peel shaft, a support shaft and a carrier shaft. The film guide path extends behind and around the peel shaft, between the peel shaft and the support shaft, looping around the support shaft and over the carrier shaft, such that a label is released by the movement around the peel shaft, and the label path proceeds directly over the support shaft and the carrier shaft.
Abstract:
A labeling system includes a frame component pivotal between a label load position, a first label apply position and a second label apply position. A vacuum applicator is carried on the frame component for movement with the frame component. A first actuator is configured for pivoting the frame component between the label load position and the first label apply position. A second actuator is configured for pivoting the frame component from the label load position to the second label apply position. The second label apply position is located between the label load position and the first label apply position. The labeling system can be used to apply one label to the leading side of an item moving along a conveyance path, and to apply another label to the lateral side of the same item.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present disclosure a system for capturing proppant dust particles when positioned at a fracking operation site including a proppant delivery assembly to receive one or more containers having proppant stored therein. The system dispenses the proppant from the one or more containers and delivers the proppant to other fracking operation equipment. Moreover, the system includes a dust collection assembly positioned proximate and associated with the proppant delivery assembly to capture dust particles released by movement and settling of the proppant when being dispensed and delivered by the proppant delivery assembly. The dust collection assembly is positioned to direct an air flow in a flow path overlying the dust particles to capture the dust particles and move the dust particles away from the proppant thereby reducing risk of dust exposure to fracking operation site personnel.

In one embodiment the present invention comprises a smartphone and encoders for commissioning RFID transponders. The present invention further includes novel systems, devices, and methods for commissioning RFID transponders with unique object class instance numbers without requiring a realtime connection to a serialization database.
Abstract:
A label dispenser having a body and a hinged lid attached thereto. The lid is held in a closed position by way of magnets. The interior of the body has guides that hold label packs in a vertical arrangement. The labels and liner are passed between an upwardly facing surface extending outwardly from the body of the dispenser and the lid. The dispenser includes means, disposed on said body, for linking multiple dispensers.
