Overview

Built for side labels, this machine handles all kinds of items; the brochure samples are a color box and a set of slim boxes, each labeled on the side. Products go onto the conveyor one at a time and pick up their side label as they pass the labeling station, so boxed products can be side-labeled in a continuous flow.

The machine has a powered top hold-down that keeps products steady from above; for heavy products this function can be left out. It is available in a basic and a standard version. Standard figures: ±1 mm accuracy (excluding product and label tolerances), 40–120 pcs/min, products 10–400 mm long, 10–300 mm wide and 0.2–150 mm high, and labels 6–250 mm long and 6–150 mm wide (liner width), with larger labels custom-built.

For coding, add a ribbon coder or inkjet coder to print production dates, batch numbers or barcodes on the label, or mount an inkjet coder on the conveyor to print on the product before or after labeling, which removes a separate step. The machine measures approx. 1500 × 1000 × 1350 mm, weighs 150 kg and runs on 220 V / 50 Hz.

FAQ

What does the powered top hold-down do, and do I need it?

It holds the product steady from above during labeling. When the products are heavy, this function can be left out.

How fast and how accurate is it?

Side labeling runs at 40–120 pcs/min, varying with product and label size, and accuracy is ±1 mm (excluding product and label tolerances).

Which versions are available?

There are two: a basic version and a standard version. Which one fits depends on your products and line layout.

What product and label sizes does it handle?

The standard range is 10–400 mm in length, 10–300 mm in width and 0.2–150 mm in height; labels can be 6–250 mm long on liners 6–150 mm wide, and bigger labels can be custom-built.
