In this weekly highlight, we take a look at a 10 foot conveyor labeling system with integrated tamp and wipe-on applicators. This custom Universal Labeling Systems machine was built for round, tapered containers that require top and side labels. Common applications are deli tubs, epoxy tubs, and other conical (tapered) containers.
This system, uses an "intelligent" encapsulator to detect and capture the product. Upon capture, a vacuum transfer grid dispenses and applies the crescent shaped label to the conical surface. After the side label is applied, the product briefly remains while the top label is properly placed from above. The top and side labels are now perfectly aligned...so each one looks the same on a store shelf! Once the labels are applied, the product is released down the conveyor and the next product arrives. Contingent on container size, applicator speed,, and product availability, the expected system cycle time is 20-30+ products per minute.
This system was also optioned with feeding and accumulating tables to eliminate having to manually load and unload the conveyor! Do you have a similar project? Call us at 800-275-0828 to discuss and receive a prompt quotation.
