Compact R12

DESCRIPTION

The Compact R12 , a Rotary labeler is the most flexible of all labeling machines. It is capable of labeling round (including conical) bottles and oval - front / back type bottles. Labels can be partial or full wrap, spot or front and back labels. This style of machine is meant to operate in an existing line.

EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS

• Wine Bottle Labelling - front & back, full wrap or spot labels - round or reverse tapered
• Personal Care products - Shampoo etc...
• Chemical or Household products as in Window Cleaner or Automotive type products.

PROCESS
The standard machine consists of a 3 . 0 M conveyor. On pressing Run the conveyor starts, the products once on the conveyor will travel until they come in contact with the synchronized scroll, the products are then released into the infeed star wheel which places the product onto the rotating turret for labeling. With one to four labeling heads capable of being fitted may options for label placement can result. Once products are labeled the feed off the machine through the outfeed star wheel and onto the integrated conveyor.

The Drive System incorporates a 5 HP 3-Phase Motor with Digital Electronic Speed Controller for 'Ramped' start-up and Electronic Brake for controlled slow-down & Turret Stop.

Some products if labeled empty or if moulded using minimal material (some PET bottles) may require inflating to provide support during the label application process. This inflation capability is provided by blowing compressed air into the product. Whether one or twelve products run through the machine, constant pressure is maintained on each product. Due to the unique inflation system adopted by Compact, factory compressed air is not wasted on empty platforms.
