entrance from the right side (right/left).
Unit has two stations for the film rolls, when one roll is finished stations are changing automatically.
The machine has a Rotary design with a precisely-operating labelling station which cuts film labels and then uses Hotmelt to glue them to the containers.
Principle of operation:
a feed roller, the speed of which is adapted to suit the label length, continually pulls the label web from the reel. The label web guider, which is installed as standard, is responsible for ensuring that the label web is pulled straight. In the cutting unit, the labels are precisely cut while a computer and Servo-motor provide an exact cut-off Point. Two narrow strips of Hotmelt, which are applied by a heated glue roller to the leading and trailing label edges, glue the labels together. The Hotmelt strip applied to the leading label edge ensures a precise and positive transfer onto the rotating container. This glue strip ensures that the label is positioned precisely and glued correctly. As the container is rotating while the label is being applied, the label is stretched to fit smoothly. When the trailing edge is glued
down, the secure bond is complete.
