CL2 Composite Can Labelling Machine With Knives
The unlabelled tubes are placed in the tube guides which accept around up to 10 tubes. The operator places the unglued label on a feed table and depresses a hand valve. The tube is then automatically loaded onto a mandrel, the label is taken automatically over precision glue rollers and via ‘pickers’ is provided and applied to the plain tube – the tube is then cut. The cut, labelled tubes are then ejected from the machine and the process is then repeated Options include: An automatic sheet label feed A stack of labels is positioned on label platform. A line of vacuum suckers then takes the top label and presents it to the in-feed rollers and the vacuum is released which enables the label to move onto the wet rollers, over the pickers and onto the tube. The label platform is then automatically raised in order to maintain a constant height under the suckers. ‘Fluffers’ blow air through the front of the label stack in order to guarantee that each label is separate. Tube hopper: This accepts up to 60 tubes which are automatically delivered to the ‘CL2′, which makes it a fully automatic machine. A cardboard tube is loaded from a hopper into the machine, held firmly in place on a mandrel of similar diameter. A pre-printed label is fed into the machine either manually, or automatically. The label is then coated with a precise amount of glue and then presented to the rotating core to which it is applied. The core may be cut into several sections after which it is then ejected from the machine in order to be carried away on a conveyor. Waste rings from cut process are ejected separately. The labeled cores (tubes) then go onto to be capped or closed often for numerous applications in the market place, such as:luxury goods containers, food stuff containers and the original cores may be of sealed or breathable type construction.Visit the C Perkin Ltd website for more information on CL2 Composite Can Labelling Machine With Knives
