It is often challenging for horizontal flow wrappers where stretch wrap comes below to have sufficient space for integrating labelling and printing equipment.
Method:
If your products are processed in a flow packer, we recommend having the labels dispensed onto the flat stretch wrap. This results in the best application by far – without air bubbles under the label and with a uniform placement on your products.
We have developed solutions that can be directly integrated into the wrapping machine, even in confined spaces.
The dispenser is designed with an angle in the middle which turns the dispenser body 90° in relation to the point of label application.
It is faster, easier and more ergonomic to change the label roll and maintain the whole dispenser with a pull-out unit.
We ensure the establishment of signal exchange so that when the label roll runs out, the packing machine receives a stop command.
Control:
The dispenser is controlled by a lightning-speed motion controller, whose settings are entered on an HMI touchscreen. The settings for the respective products are saved as recipes, which enables quick change-over for different types of stretch wrap and labels on the same line.
The unit can also be controlled by selecting external recipes and it can be incorporated into the general line control.
Dispenser advantages:
- Stable and reliable– even in harsh manufacturing environments – IP66 rating
- Touchscreen for which all user settings are set and saved as recipes
- Two servomotors can be mounted for electronically adjustable web tension for plastic labels. This maintains constant tension on the label roll while taking account of the fact that the backing paper can give way during rapid acceleration
- Simple to operate during format changeover – and it manages 99 recipes
- Maximises uptime
- Guarantees high capacity and unparalleled precision
Printing solution:
Another popular solution is to mount a printing solution on the dispenser for printing a date, batch no., list of ingredients, logo or other data on the labels.
