Abstract

To label products (26) on a conveyor (16), a target area for a given product (26) conveyed on the conveyor (16) is determined relative to a frame of reference. One of a plurality of labellers (12a-12d) fixed at different transverse positions over the conveyor (16), which one labeller (12a-12d) is at a transverse position which is within the transverse extent of the target area is then activated in order to label the product (26). Each labeller (12a-12d) may have a turret (40) with a number of flexible bellows (160) with an interior air diffuser (140). The air diffuser (140) has a central opening (146) facing the tamping end of the bellows and at least one side opening (148). Each labeller (12a-12d) may also have a de-mountable label cassette (50) with a drive pinion (74) or geneva gear. The label cassette (50) may have a driven pin wheel (72) for moving the pin holed release tape (58) of a label web (56).
