Apart
from inherently well designed machinery including oversized
supports, stainless steel panels, optional safety guarding,
compact footprint and other excellent features too numerous to
mention, Shrink Labelers have certain very exclusive
advantages that we list below.
Shrink Labeler Special Advantages
The following applies to all
Shrink Labelers.
Mandrel application
Bands or Sleeves are applied to the container, directly from
the mandrel. This means there is no secondary side transfer or
vacuum cups or other movement. Sleeves go right on the
container.
Close sizing of Mandrel, band and container
As we apply directly from the Mandrel we can have a band that
more closely fits the container, thereby saving band material
cost, and giving better final shrink characteristics. The
closer the band fits the container the smaller percentage of
shrink needed.
No suction cups
Direct application again means that neither suction cups nor
vacuum is needed to hold the band. Neither humidity, dust, nor
worn suction cups have any effect on the machine.
Static Electricity
As the bands are not released until they are on the container
static electricity has virtually no effect. If you have very
short bands and lots of static then our proprietary band
tacker can be enabled right at the application station to
ensure the band stays put.
Band Tacker
Our own optional proprietary band tacker can enabled to tack
the band to the container. This is activated directly from the
control panel, and saved away as a recipe to be recalled for
subsequent use once setup correctly.
Large Bands
The larger the container diameter the better our machines
stand up against the competition because we control the band
right onto the neck, and then if needed tacked.
Short Bands
Very short bands (3mm or so) can be applied by our
Shrink Labelers,
where other machines lose total control.
Long Sleeves
Our Delta Shrink Labeler
has all the advantages of the Eco
Shrink Labeler
plus infinite band length. Dial in any length at the control
panel using our unique is servo band feed mechanism. Recall
recipes for subsequent set ups.
Print registration
Both clear and printed band material can be run on the same
machine with the optional photo registration device.
Unique T-Perf
Now this is a first…our T-PERF option for sleeving enables a
horizontal neck tear off plus a short vertical tear strip. in
that there is a PERF that goes around the neck as well as a
tear strip for the neck.
Premier
Shrink Labeler
Features
The following applies to all Premier Shrink Labelers.
Fully adjustable rotating knife assembly
The rotating knife assembly is adjustable….no expensive change
parts. This alone can save the cost of the whole machine.
Only 2 Blades
Our unique adjustable blade assembly has only 2 simple blades
to get speeds in excess of 300 per minute per head.
Oversized Bearings
The rotating knife assembly uses two aircraft bearings that
are rated at 10 times our rotation speed to give smooth clean
cuts. You won’t see ‘hang nails’ on our bands that can attach
a couple of bands together for a miss-application.
Fewest Change parts
The least amount of change parts and/or contact parts than any
high speed machine on the market. The band feed device is
servo-controlled through a short, simple mandrel.
Wide range of band sizes
Depending on one of 4 models selected, bands from less than 1
inch up to 12 inches can be applied by the same machine.
Mandrel system
The mandrel system keeps the band open while it is being
applied to a container so that we can size the band close to
the container to give a better final product look because the
amount of shrink that is needed on our machines is less than
with others.
No spin down wheels
Our servo-controlled machine simply pushes the band straight
down onto the container avoiding twist and keeping
registration. Others require spinning push down wheels that
can impart a twist to the band losing alignment with the
bottle.
Separate Roll feed device
The roll feed device is separate from the machine to give
greater access plus it can be placed in tighter areas of a
crowded production line. This also reduces the thread path to
a minimum.
