Entry Level Wraparound Labelling System
ALbelt C
ALbelt C labelling systems combine a horizontally mounted ALstep labelling head (in 100mm 'S' or 200mm 'M' format) with an open base 'ALbelt' belt conveyor system and side drive direct-wraparound application unit. This device rotates the product on its base as it continues to travel forwards, with the label pinched between the product and a rubbered counter plate, adapting it on its surface, matching the speed of label feed to the rotation of the product.
This highly flexible and established application concept for non-tapered (or very slightly tapered) cylindrical products is both fast and efficient, with typical label application speeds of between 40-50 products per minute, depending on the products size, label length and frequency of loading.
Machines are designed to the sample product range presented by the customer, using proven modular components and able to accommodate a wide variety of different products, including products with label recess areas, lips or caps where specified. Labels can be applied in either a partial or full wraparound format (depending on the relative length of the label to the product diameter) in no particular rotational registration to any existing feature.
Typically, machines are hand fed, but can also be used inline in low to medium speed operations, with various automatic spacing modules available where a regular minimum product pitch cannot be guaranteed. Solutions include a simple spacing wheel, single or dual side-belts - which can also aid the transfer of smaller products on to the conveyor.
