Self-adhesive labellers

This type of labelling is used in a variety of applications where a premium product is to be labelled or where short runs are the norm. It is also increasingly used for applications where increases in line efficiency are required. Enterprise Tondelli can supply from in-line self adhesive labeller to rotary multi station machines with typical labelling speeds from 500 bottles per hour to 35,000 bottles per hour depending on label length.

One benefit of using self adhesive labels is that the machines run a lot cleaner with very little cleaning required.

To give a flavour of the flexibility of Enterprise Tondelli applications already supplied include:-

In-line promotional labelling of drink bricks,
Rotary labelling machine for 6,000 bph labelling of liqueurs with indirect application,
Rotary three station labelling of fruit juices with direct application including a tamper evident label or tax strip
Two station in-line labelling of cosmetic bottles
Single label application on a 19 litre container.
Combination labeller with two cold glue stations and a self adhesive station with indirect application and automatic reel change over to eliminate machine stoppages.
A combination machine for breweries to allow 3 labels body, back and neck or a wraparound body label to give maximum flexibility is also manufacture.

Label application can be either direct or indirect depending on the container shape and also the speed. A benefit of indirect application is that the label positioning accuracy is dependant on the condition of the bottle where slippage can occur. With direct application the label is positively placed on the bottle by a vacuum drum and negates the necessary usual adjustment of labelling “beaks” which can prove challenging.

Machines are manufactured in stainless steel with touch screen operation and setup. Change over is achieved with easy to follow calibrated handwheels with counters or indicators to ensure rapid and repeatable change over from one product to another.

Optional items include:-

For high speed PSL labelling an automatic reel change over unit can be supplied
Base notch or side spotting device for shaped bottles
Servo motor bottle orientation with optical spotting
Handle orientation either on a carousel or infeed starwheel depending on the speed.
Foil coding of labels.
Reel end alarm
Special photocell for transparent labels.
