If your products do not arrive separated, a simple wheel is added upstream of the labeller to space the products apart.  Variable speed allows the spacing needed and the speed control is mounted inside the control cabinet.  For those labellers with recipe management the speed settings can be recalled with each product.

This reduces the maximum output speeds to approx 60/minute.

The standard 11 ¾ “ diameter roll has a 3” diameter core, but optionally there are 14” diameter rolls or 16” diameter rolls. A power unwind is recommended for the larger rolls.
 

The standard label head handles labels up to 6 3/8”, but optionally there are two extension kits…to 8” tall and to 13” tall.
 

The standard wrap belt is 3” tall, but with larger backing plates labels up to 6” tall can usually be handled. An optional Wrap belt of 6” tall can handle most other taller labels with the appropriate backing plate.
 

Dependent on the customer’s requirements, the application, and the local requirements, a variety of Safety guards can be fitted.  Consultation with the factory and your safety officer should be made to determine the appropriate guarding for your application.
 

We can mount most hot Stamp Coders on your label head, and have brackets available for the common ones.  If you have no preference we can recommend an appropriate one.
 

Due to the fact that the characters are formed electronically, thermal transfer printing can print "real time" information, graphics and barcodes.
 

In order to detect whether a clear label has been applied to a container or carton, it may be necessary to treat the label with UV fluorescing material which can be detected by a Luminescence detector.
 

Various detectors (or Vision Systems) are available to read the bar codes.  Depending on the application simple or sophisticated systems are available, which can be used in combination with reject stations.
 

Various detectors (or Vision Systems) are available to detect the correct application of a label or labels.  Depending on the application simple or sophisticated systems are available, which can be used in combination with reject stations.
 

Stack lights can warn of faults, and the labeler can be programmed to shut down if too many consecutive faults are detected.
 

The ultimate in safety devices a Vision system can be mounted with single or multiple cameras to inspect as much or as little as needed.   These systems can be sophisticated or simple, and we mount many of the popular brands, or can recommend one if you have no particular favourite.

It is recommended to try to limit the number of machines on the labeler conveyor to give the flexibility of precisely controlling the labeler without affecting other machines.  Ideally for a high speed production facility, surge turntables should be located before the labeler to allow time for label roll change without slowing down the rest of the line.
 

Our exclusive belt system aligns most containers, and has the advantage of automatically configuring itself to different containers, however some containers, particularly fat ovals, are stubborn and require a single or even dual worm infeed to align them!
