DESCRIPTION
The FBT (Front / Back - Tandem) is a NON-STOP labeler or sometimes known as Zero Down Time Labeler, it incorporates features such as Tandem operation, where two labelling heads are set to run the same label and when one labelling head runs out of labels the second head starts labelling. The machine ensures that no product goes through the machine without a label and that no product receives two labels. The FBT machine encapsulates all the advanced features of the Compact range into one package ensuring that the machine runs hour after hour, day by day, non-stop, as such the machine incorporates the best in engineering practices using components that require minimal maintenance, support and spare parts.
EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
- 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
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 the;
Dual Drive Product Spacing & Pre-Aligning device which can be adjusted to suit any product size without change parts or tools, the products are then released at intervals set by the operator. Continuing on their path the product is then aligned by the;
Squaring Chain Unit, this perfectly aligns the product and can be adjusted by turning a self-centering hand-wheel to suit any product size without change parts or tools, prior to being gripped by the;
Independently Sprung Multi Segmented Overhead Conveyor which provides constant pressure and is automatically synchronised to travel at the same speed as the main conveyor, once reaching the first labelling head it is determined if a label is available if not the product travels to the next labelling head to be labelled.
