Label-Aire 6115 With Orienting Wrap

A manufacturer of feminine hygiene products needed to accurately wrap apply a decorative label to a cylindrical product at speeds up to 35 containers per minute. The cylindrical container required a combination primary and tamper-evident label to be applied on a spot relative to a specific location on the container’s pump cap. As the products are fed randomly, the labeling system must orient the products prior to the label application.

The solution was to configure the Inline Series 6000 labeling system with the 3115 Wipe-On applicator and a custom product orienting wrap system. The result was the Model 6115 With Orienting Wrap labeling system which easily and accurately applies clear decorative tamper-evident labels at the same location on the customers cylindrical pump bottle.

As the randomly-fed bottles approach the point of label application, a capture roller holds and spins each bottle in place. A combination of sensors and software determines the precise location of label application ensuring that the labels tamper-evident portion is placed at the same location of the bottle every time (+/- 1/32").

Label-Aire Inline Series 6000 4-Panel Labeling System

A fertilizer company required a system to apply pressure-sensitive labels to its full line of plant fertilizer containers. The labels are applied to two types of containers: Oval-shaped and round containers. They required a single labeling system that could wrap apply labels to its round containers and easily change over to apply a 4-panel label to its oval containers. Previously, they were using two separate labelers with unsatisfactory results.

The solution was to modify the Inline Series 6000 open-frame labeling system to accommodate two 3115 Wipe-On applicators on the same side of the conveyor. The labeling system includes a 12 foot conveyor, dual spacer wheels for product timing, an 80 inch top trap hold down, a swing tamp gate, a secondary pneumatic impressor, and a wrap belt.

For 4-panel labeling, the label is dispensed directly across the tamp swing gate just as the oval container enters the top trap hold down. When the oval container passes through the swing gate, the leading edge of the container attaches itself to the label while the gates rubber squeegee edges wipe down the sides of the container. The secondary pneumatic impressor arm pushes its wheel behind the rear of the container wiping down the labels trailing edge resulting in a clean and wrinkle-free 4-sided labeled product.

Label-Aire Inline Series 6000 Zero Downtime Labeling System

An automotive cleaning solution company was in need of a versatile pressure-sensitive labeling system to apply labels to its 1-gallon jugs of its private label glass and surface cleaner reliably at high speeds. They also required tight labeling tolerances, continuous labeling capability, and a bottle ejection system for non-labeled products.

The custom solution was to fit two high speed 3115 Wipe-On labelers on the same side of its most popular open-frame conveyor. The result is the Inline Series 6000 Zero Downtime Labeling System. By combining wipe-on labeling with conveyor technology, a fast and reliable labeling system was created.

It easily applies labels to 1-gallon jugs at speeds up to 200 containers per minute. Utilizing a top-trap mechanism to secure the product during application, label placement accuracy of +/- 1/32" is maintained. The systems zero downtime configuration allows uninterrupted labeling when one applicator runs out of labels, the system automatically switches to the other and labeling continues.

Label-Aire 3-Panel CD Case Labeling System

A CD manufacturing company required a labeling system to print-and-apply barcoded labels to the unhinged edge of CD jewel cases. This company also required a barcode scanner to verify the barcodes and an ejection system to reroute any product with incorrect barcodes or missing labels.

The custom solution was to modify the Inline Series 6000 open-frame labeling system for print-and apply labeling. The barcode labels are applied using the 3138-N printer applicator. By combining the inline conveyor with the 3138-N, the end result is a fast and reliable labeling system.
