Labeling System

Ecolabel is a labelling system

Ecolabel is a labelling system for consumer products that are made in a fashion that avoids detrimental effects on the environment. Usually both the precautionary principle and the substitution principle are used when defining the rules for what products can be ecolabelled. Many ecolabels are not directly connected to the firms that manufacture or sell the ecolabelled products. Just as for the quality assurance labelling systems it is of imperative importance that the labelling entity is clearly divided from and independent of the manufacturers. All ecolabelling is voluntary, meaning that they are not mandatory by law.



Ecolabelling systems exist for both food and consumer products. Both systems were started by NGOs but nowadays the European Union have legislation for the rules of ecolabelling and also have their own ecolabels, one for food and one for consumer products. At least for the food the ecolabel is nearly identical with the common NGO definition of the rules for ecolabelling. Many of the food ecolabels follow the recommendations from the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements that started in the 1970s.

Benefit of Removing Label in a Bottle-Washing machine

The ability to remove label adhesives is critical to the viability of any bottle-washing machine. There must be a comprehensive knowledge of the containers the program will handle and the label adhesives being used. Laboratory testing of the tenacity of the adhesives under simulated bottle washing conditions, followed by pilot production, will help to determine the feasibility of a full-scale operation.

which include press-applied and plastic labels, pose a major barrier to successful bottle washing because they do not readily come off in the caustic baths used in bottle washing machines.

Historically, label adhesives used by bottlers were designed for easy removal so that bottlers could recover their own bottles through local buy-back programs and wash the containers for re-use. With most bottle-washing programs discontinued, and in response to marketing and operational considerations, many have converted to more convenient and durable label adhesives

The problems discussed above enhance the idea that bottle washing might most effectively be undertaken by either wine or beer producers’ cooperatives. Producer cooperatives receive some unique tax considerations from the federal government and would have a vested interest in cooperating fully with each other on labeling issues. However they are structured, bottle-washing programs must be tailored to existing markets, usually a concentration of breweries or wineries, in order to achieve a critical mass of both washable bottles and final sales

Various types of bottle labeler machines

Bottle labeler machine

A bottle labeling method and bottle labeler machine has a bottle conveyor which transports bottles past two labeling stations and which rotationally controls the bottles to place them into different positions appropriate to the affixing and pressing on of labels. In the first labeling station in the direction of bottle travel, the simultaneous transfer of a bottle-neck foil and of a back label is effected and in the second labeling station the simultaneous transfer of one of at least one partial neck label and a neck ring label and of a belly label is effected

New Lightweight bottle machinery

"lightweight dairy" machines, this family of machines may also be used for the manufacture of bottles for water, as well as juice, household chemical containers, and some industrial parts. The introduction of this family of machines caused a massive conversion in the dairy industry, with HDPE bottles replacing glass and paperboard.

Bottles may be manufactured with either a “pull-up” or “ram down” neck finish. In the United States, the pull-up finish is most common. A pull-up finish forms a pre-cut inner ring in a round, horizontal ledge at the top of the neck of the bottle - requiring a plug seal. A ram-down prefinish is capable of forming a "vertical" tube section at the top of the neck - without a horizontal ledge. This is analogous to a blowpin neck finish on shuttle machinery.
Reciprocating screw blow molding machine for lightweight dairy containers

A large number of machine configuration possibilities exist, with variations in extruder size (3.5, 4.0 and 4.5 in. diameters are typical), head size (typically 100 mm or 140 mm), clamp sizes, number of heads (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 16 head options), and downstream handling and trimming options.

Most one-gallon dairy containers are manufactured on 4-head or 6-head machines, although recently more producers have gone to 8-head machines to drive down bottle costs. It is estimated that over 2500 reciprocating screw blow molding machines for production of HDPE containers have been delivered in the United States - and over 3200 worldwide.

Fake wine is a major problem for wine collectors

The danger with fake wine is that it could kill the whole wine category. If wine becomes just another manufactured beverage, shorn of its interest and diversity, then what’s the motivation for consumers to trade up? Will people ever think wine appreciation is a worthy hobby if all they are weaned on is industrial crap Branded wine is like a movie set: looks great from the outside, but pass behind the edifice and it’s all plywood and 2 by 4s.

What can stem this rising tide of branded wine? I reckon some gently subversive counter movement is needed. People need to be champions of honest, natural wine. If there’s an increased demand, then perhaps the continued existence of real wine will be assured.

I find branded wines upsetting, largely. They are dressed up to look like interesting wines; made to sound as if they have been lovingly created from a single vineyard by artisanal winemakers in small, rustic cellars – aged gracefully in oak barrels with the attentive hand of the grower never far away.

The truth is they are industrial concoctions manufactured in huge factory-like wineries from machine-picked grapes that come from huge, flat, irrigated vineyards, and cooked up with all manner of winemaking trickery. They are blended together to offend as few consumers as possible (i.e. to taste as little of ‘wine’ and as much of fruit juice as possible), sometimes sweetened with a couple of grams (or more) of residual sugar, and sold by deep discounting to give the punter an impression of quality.

How Plastic Bottles Kill You

The research by world expert Dr William Shotyk - who has vowed never to drink bottled water again - will be published in the Royal Society of Chemistry's journal next month. It is sure to revive concerns about the safety of bottled water, the world's fastest-growing drinks industry, worth £1.2billion a year.

Small doses of antimony can make you feel ill and depressed. Larger quantities can cause violent vomiting and even death. The study stressed that amounts of antimony were well below official recommended levels. But it also discovered that the levels almost doubled when the bottles were stored for three months..

The tests found traces of antimony, a chemical used in the making of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles, used by most mineral-water sellers.


Antimony finds its way into water by 'leaching' from the plastic in the same way that water absorbs flavour from a teabag. Health authorities said even the higher levels of antimony found are way below official safety guidelines,

Aluminum Vs. Glass... Which Beer Bottle Stays Cooler Longer

The popular Pittsburgh Brewery Iron City Beer released an aluminum beer bottle to replace the typical glass beer bottle. In the promotion of the aluminum bottle, the Pittsburg Brewery claims that beer in their aluminum bottle will remain cooler for “fifty minutes” longer than beer in a typical glass bottle. The principles of heat transfer and the thermal conductivities of both aluminum and glass would suggest that this claim is difficult to justify. In this work we experimentally and mathematically assessed the validity of their claim.

Our experiments have shown that the fluid in the aluminum bottle cools much faster than the glass bottle, and once removed from a cold source and exposed to room temperature, the glass bottle remained cooler longer than the aluminum bottle. Further investigations are being made into how the Pittsburg Brewery experiments were conducted. It is possible that cooling the bottles for a fixed time (rather than to a fixed temperature) may generate results similar to those claimed by the company.

Electric Label dispenser

Label dispensers have many uses. Imagine how many items you purchase have labels, almost everything. Those labels were either applied by a machine or by hand, and most likely were peeled from the backing paper using some sort of label dispenser. Some of the more popular are bulk mailing, manufacturing, packaging, food and beverage, fast food, photo labs, and more.


Electric Semi-automatic label dispensers were first patented in the early 1970s. They were originally designed for multiple-row address labels for bulk mailing houses. On average a good mailing house employee could apply approximately 500 labels per hour to envelopes. The label dispenser increased this to over 2,000 per hour. These dispensers advance individual or multiple-row labels and remove them from their lining similar to a manual dispenser, but instead of manually pulling on the liner, label advancement occurs when a trigger on the dispenser detects the absence of a label, such as when the operator removes the label. The sensor then closes the circuit and engages the motor, dispensing the next label until the sensor once again detects the label which opens the circuit. The first electric dispenser was designed with the limit switch on the left of a 16" wide machine. 4-up multiple-row labels were loaded into the machine and once activated would advance one row of labels. The operator would take the labels from right to left, so that when the leftmost label was taken, the next row advanced, automatically providing a constant supply of labels to apply

History of wine bottles

Wine residue has been identified by Patrick McGovern's team at the University Museum, Pennsylvania, in ancient pottery jars. Records include ceramic jars from the Neolithic sites at Shulaveri, of present-day Georgia (about 6000 BC) [11], Hajji Firuz Tepe in the Zagros Mountains of present-day Iran (5400–5000 BC)[12],[13] and from Late Uruk (3500–3100 BC) occupation at the site of Uruk, in Mesopotamia [1]. The identifications are based on the identification of tartaric acid and tartrate salts using a form of infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). These identifications are regarded with caution by some biochemists because of the risk of false positives, particularly where complex mixtures of organic materials, and degradation products, may be present. The identifications have not yet been replicated in other laboratories.

Milk bottle

Milk bottles are bottles used for milk. They may be reusable glass bottles used mainly for doorstep delivery of fresh milk by milkmen. Customers are expected to rinse the empty bottles and leave on the doorstep for collection

Before milk bottles, milkmen filled the customers' jugs. For many collectors, milk bottles carry a nostalgic quality of a bygone age. The most prized milk bottles are embossed or pyroglazed (painted) with names of dairies on them, which were used for home delivery of milk so that the milk bottles could find their way back to the dairy for reuse. The color, picture, dairy, and condition all contribute to the value of the milk bottle.

Chronology

1880 - British milk bottles were first produced by the Express Dairy Company. They were delivered by horse-drawn carts and delivered four times a day. The first bottles used a porcelain stopper top held on by wire.
1894 - Anthony Hailwood developed a pasteurisation process for milk which allowed it to be sterilized and be safely stored for longer periods. Milk could now be delivered once a day.
1920 - Advertisements began to appear on milk bottles. A sand-blasting technique was used to etch them on the glass.
mid 1950s - Cardboard tops were deemed unhygienic and banned in some locations.
early 1990s - The advertising largely disappeared with the introduction of infrared bottle scanners designed to check cleanliness.

Present day

In some locations, silver, red, blue or yellow aluminium tops on today's bottles indicate the fat content. Unpasteurised is green-topped. Other dairies use other color designations. Bottles may also be marked or stamped with the name of the dairy.Modern dairies may also use refillable plastic bottles, as well as plastic bottle tops.

In the United Kingdom, milk sold to the door may still be in Imperial pints (20 fluid ounces), though it is also acceptable to sell in metric measure. Often, in supermarkets they are sold in pints but labelled with their metric equivalent (568ml). Quantities larger than a pint are generally sold in metric units or multiples of a pint.Orange juice is also sold in doorstep deliveries in the same style of bottle used for milk. Typically these have an orange top[citation needed].
