LABELING PACKAGING MACHINE PRODUCT LABELS APPLICATION
A labelling machine is best described as an automatic or semi-automatic in-line self-adhesive label application unit that is used to dispense or apply pre-printed labels supplied on a reel to various items, products, containers, and packages.
While semi-automatic labelling machines only dispense or apply labels, more intelligent automatic machines can also print labels, complete with information like product ingredients, manufacturing dates, expiry dates and information like quantities, which in turn makes the labelling process a lot more efficient.
Some of the most popular types of labelling machine are:
- Semi-automatic: used in smaller production and packaging industries for the labelling on round vials and round bottles.
- Automatic: used for labelling of the front and/or back sides of oval or square shaped goods.
- High speed Vertical: used for vertical label application to ampoules, vials, and other containers at very high speeds.
- Holographic security: used to apply holographic labels in conjunction with normal labels.
- High speed Horizontal: used for complete or partial wraparound labelling to round containers with small diameters.
- Cylindrical: used to label small, round products like vials, ampoules, and test tubes.
The most widely used machines in our labelling range include the following:
- Rotary Labelling Machine
- Single Side Labelling Machine
- Double Side Automatic Labelling Machine
- Top and Bottom Labelling Machine
- Upper and Lower Multi-face Labelling Machine
- Small Round Bottle Labelling Machine
- Large Round Bottle Labelling Machine
- Flat Labelling Machine
- Fully-automatic Flat Labelling Machine
- Page Labelling Machine
- Barcode Printing Labelling Machine
Widely used for the labelling processes of industries pertaining to chemicals, cosmetics, food and beverages, agriculture, construction, electronics, pharmaceutical, laboratory, animal care industry, etc., other goods like pharma syrup, dry syrup, honey, edible oil, lubricant oil, hair oil, shampoo, phenol, fruit juice, cosmetics, talcum powder, bleach, herbal powders, wine, liquor, electrical components, dental products, adhesives, glue, rubber adhesives, stationery, lip balm, petroleum jelly, hair developer, hair straightener, handwash soaps, dishwasher detergents, hand sanitizer, cosmetic lotion, etc. can also be printed and/or labelled.
- Bulk labelling allows for products to be labelled in bulk quantity without errors
- Efficient labelling system
- Efficient use of time and manpower compared to manual label application programs
- Cost-effective, smart PLC touch screen control system provides optimal control
- Variable speeds of conveyor suitable for different capacity requirements without the need of additional parts
- High operation speeds of up to 120 bottles per minute
- Intelligent hot stamp printer print batch numbers, expiry dates, weight, etc.
- Eccentric wheel technology is incorporated to the traction mechanism to ensure that the traction label does not slip and accurate
- Automatic photo-electric eye tracking eliminates markings and helps prevent label misprints
- Capable of applying labels within a tolerance of ±1mm in each axis, depending on the application type and component quality
- Can also be placed in a production line with other equipment such as automatic filling machines, capping units, etc.
The principle of the labelling machine is that an item is fed from a conveyor to the labelling machine at a constant speed. Once the product, container, bottle, or package is in position, smart product sensors communicate to the labelling control system and the onboard PLC to ensure that label application is handled accurately.
With the help of a drive wheel, the label strips is moved at timed intervals wherein the label strip is pulled out of the reel and pressed against the product by the labeler wheel. An open-ended displacement control is used to maintain the tension of the label strips on the reel.
The label belt pauses at consistent intervals so that the label tape can be applied to the product that is in sync with the labelling wheel. When the conveyor reaches a certain position, the label drive wheel accelerates to a speed that the label belt can match.
Once the label is attached onto the product at a predefined location, the product flows out to an overlaying device as the machine decelerates to a stop.
Automatic labelling machines can operate individually or be integrated into existing production lines with liquid filling machines, powder filling machines, counting filling machines.
LABELING PACKAGING MACHINE PRODUCT LABELS APPLICATION
The Shrink Sleeve Machine is a unique and highly flexible single lane applicator, which can be used to sleeve at exceedingly high speeds, full body sleeves, half sleeves, full body with tamper or tamper sleeves. Being exceptionally fast and reliable the machine makes delivering of continuous stream of the sleeve onto your products easily. The polished stainless-steel housing and conveyors are hygienic and are designed for easy operation. The Shrink Sleeve Machine can be steam or electric shrink. All high-precision components of the machine are controlled with one easy-to-use touch screen control panel.
Sleeve Shrink machines occupy the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, animal care, data collection, agricultural, laboratory, electronics, communication, and construction industriesies.
Some shrink sleeves include:
- Full Body & Tamper
- Full Body
- Half Body
- Tamper Evidant
- Multi-pack Shrink Sleeve
Increase Storage Space: Shrink Sleeve equipment can help your warehouse or distribution center increase precious storage space to make it available for other e-commerce business needs.
Brand Awareness: By using shrink sleeve labels, your product will stand out on the shelf. the labels are custom, you can create a design that fits your brand and tells your customers a story about your company.
Tamper-evidence Band: With the security and safety of products being more crucial than ever, an advantage of shrink sleeve labels is the option of adding a tamper-evident band. A tamper-evident band is an indicator for consumers to see if the product has been opened. A tamper band can be applied as just a neckband or be part of the full-body label that will cover the entire product.
Recycling Process: While the sleeve does conform to the product, it does not stick to it, which allows for easy removal during the recycling process.
Utilize Unique Packaging Options: The plastic shrink sleeves are effective against environmental damages.
A shrink sleeve label consists of heat-sensitive material that is seamed with openings on the top and bottom to create a “sleeve.” The sleeve is placed around the product to which it will be applied. Once heat is applied to the material, the sleeve will begin to shrink or compress to the product. Imagery is specially manipulated so that the final conformed image does not warp, and branding is not compromised. The artwork will be proportioned correctly once the sleeve is shrunk to the product container.
