DESCRIPTION
The Compact Combination Labeler, incorporates front back and wrap labelling capabilities all in one machine, as the name implies the machine comes in various configurations FBW, FB3R, FBWV, FBW3R and FBWV3R, all of which provide the capability of labelling Front and Back on non-round or oval containers as well as wrap labels on round containers. The machine can be operated in an existing line or as a Stand-alone unit.
EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
- *** Front / Back
- Personal Care products - Shampoo etc...
- Chemical or Household products as in Window Cleaner or Automotive type products.
- Engine Oil - Jerry Can type containers
- Pharmaceutical products
- *** Wrap
- Aerosol Cans - with label/s oriented to seam, spot, full or partial wrap
- Plastic Bottles - with full wrap label - where label alignment is critical
- Poison or Embossed Bottles - with orientation to embossing
- Soft sided bottles - maintaining good control
PROCESS
The standard machine consists of a 3.6M x 900mm high conveyor. On pressing Run the conveyor starts, the products once on the conveyor will travel until they come in contact with one of the Product Spacing devices.
Front/Back: The products are then released at intervals set by the operator. The product is then aligned by the Squaring Chain Unit, this aligns the product prior to being gripped by the Overhead Conveyor which is automatically synchronised to
travel at the same speed as the main conveyor. The product
then has the side labels wiped onto the product.
The Wrap W or WV (Vacuum), provides speed and flexibility when wrapping label/s on cylindrical containers. The key advantage of this style of machine over the 3R range is speed. The label/s can be partial or full wrap while the machine can be operated in an existing line or as a Stand-alone unit. The W capability uses the back labelling head, if one labelling head is insufficient and the Front/Back capability not required the WV2 or WVT should be investigated, as against the WS machine which
has no capability of growth.
