Labeling machine: functional equipment for optimizing production

Applying labels by hand, even self-adhesive ones, is an extremely time-consuming process. The task is especially complicated when it comes to large-scale production. The labeling machine is an industrial device designed for automatic labeling of various products (bottles and cans with drinks, household chemicals, food, etc.). Equipment of this type differs in design, power, performance and other characteristics.

Labeling machines

The design of labeling machines depends on their type, but in general, the following main components and principles of operation can be distinguished:

• feed mechanism feeds polypropylene labels from a roll to the feed and pinch rollers;
• on one of the guide rollers of the adjusting block there is a label sensor set to a certain label length;
• The label web arriving at the cutting mechanism is divided into separate fragments;
• The label is held on the cutting drum by vacuum and transferred to the transfer drum by compressed air;
• The transfer drum guides each label through the glue roller applicator;
• hot-melt adhesive is applied to the flex label;
• A label with glue is moved by a vacuum drum to a container fed by a turnstile star;
• the vacuum drum presses the bottle against the running ski and sticks the label;
• A labeled bottle or other container is then fed to the exit by a conveyor.

Modern labeling equipment operates automatically and does not require manual labor. One operator is enough to service such machines.

Advantages of using labeling equipment

Labeling equipment can be used in small, medium and large enterprises. The use of such machines provides a number of advantages:

• ensures a high speed of labeling, which allows you to increase the volume of production;
• You can stick labels on different containers made of glass and polymers, jars, bottles, etc. Changing the configuration and size of labels does not require the installation of additional equipment or reprofiling;
• the machines are equipped with built-in special printers that print the date of manufacture and other information automatically;
• the amount of manual labor is reduced, which ultimately reduces the final cost of products;
• sticking is adjusted automatically;
• The quality and reliability of labeling is ensured, and the number of rejects is reduced.

The cost of labeling equipment depends on its capacity and performance.

How to choose and buy a labeling machine

When buying a labeling machine, you need to pay attention to the following equipment characteristics:

• productivity: you can buy labeling machines from us that label from 3 to 12 thousand containers per hour or 150 bottles per minute;
• power;
• air flow for pneumatic equipment and its pressure;
• weight and size of machines;
• bottle diameter;
• labels size (length and height);
• glue consumption.

It is possible to buy a labeling machine manufactured by Termo-Pak Packaging Equipment Plant LLC with delivery in Ukraine. The price of equipment depends on its performance and other characteristics. We offer high quality machines that can be used in various types of enterprises.
