Semi-Automatic Labelling Machines

Square Bottle self-adhesive (PSL) labellers

The application of front and back labels on square bottles on two cycles is easily done by simply turning the bottle 180°. Also recommended for containers having a low mechanical resistance to pressure (i.e. plastics such as PET, PE, PVC and so on). Datalogic fork photocell with a 50 mm slot and teach in button. 170 mm paper passage (standard), tall rollers up 220 mm as an option.

The great advantage of this type of machine is the capability of labelling round and square bottles (with the related accessory) without the need for mounting / dismounting mechanical parts. It is sufficient to follow the correct paper path according to the required application and make some simple adjustments in compliance with the bottle format and the label(s) size. Capacity: about 600 bph (round bottles – front and back).

Cold Glue labellers

Specifically aimed at the market of reusable bottles, cold glue is applied first to the label, which is then transferred by a series of rollers to the bottle. This type of labelling machine is used mainly in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and in other countries where it is compulsory to return the bottles to the original factory to be washed out and refilled for further use of the container. By using cold glue, our labellers allow the bottles to be washed in appropriate machines that use a caustic soda hot water bath.

U shaped strip stamp cold glue applicator

In many countries spirits producers are required to show duty has been paid on a bottle of spirits or liquor and this normally requires a U shaped paper tax receipt to be applied over the top of the bottle closure by cold glue  label or self adhesive label.

Normally this operation is carried out by means of bulky and expensive rotary machines for high volumes , but often smaller producers or importers are at a loss to apply these manually but in a controlled way.

Many producers require only  a small compact cold glue applicator to apply tax stamps or marketing decorative seals over the corks for boutique specialty products.

IC Filling systems have filled this niche of users by launching recently our U seal tamper-evident cold glue label applicator that you can see in this video. For more information contact us.
