DESCRIPTION

The Compact-a-Tube is a portable semi automatic Labeller. It is designed to apply one or two labels to cylindrical plastic or metal tubes. It is economically priced, industrially built and provides unparalleled productivity without compromising quality. Built for ease of use and long term reliability the Compact-a-Tube is as tough as it looks, made from Stainless Steel and Aluminum, it is very simple to operate and set up. Unlike other semi automatic labellers it rewinds the backing paper as you work – removing potential fire and safety hazards. All die cut labels, whether they are clear or opaque, are able to be applied by the Compact-a-Tube.

 

 

EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS

  • Plastic or Metal Tubes
  • One Label (Front or Back)
  • Two Labels (Front & Back - alternately printed)
  • Over-labelling of pre-labelled Tubes
  • Appling Labels relative to Tube Registration mark

 

PROCESS

As "semi automatic" implies, an operator simply places a tube on the machine’s Tube Mandrill, presses the foot switch and the Compact-a-Tube does the rest. When labelling is complete, the tube stops rotating and the pneumatically operated Mandrill arm retracts. The operator removes the perfectly labelled product and repeats the cycle.
