A machine designed to decorate soft drink and liquid food PET bottles of all sizes, from 100ml to 2L, even the most sophisticated shapes. This machine allows for the use of LDPET® product, a shrink-sleeve compatible with the closed-loop PET recycling process (bottle-to-bottle).
To work at high speed in wet conditions, this machine is equipped with modules to guarantee the performance and quality of your products: a drying module at the inlet to facilitate shrink-sleeve label application, an orientation system for complex shapes, and a control and ejection system.
This high-capacity unwind unit can handle high sleeving speeds and is designed to accommodate new generation films. Located outside the machine, it offers easy access to the reels, which are positioned at hand level; the splicing table allows for quick and error-free splicing. The overall system provides autonomy and ergonomics, for operator comfort.
This exclusive shrink technology combines several systems: the expansion chamber, the height-adjustable tunnel and the steam diffusion system are adjusted to each product to optimize energy consumption.
The 6-reel automatic sleeve unwinder unit increases production time with no operator intervention. This time gives you the freedom of action to carry out other tasks and improve productivity.
A two-step orientation system for shaped bottles. Camera detection combined with software defines the position of the bottle in relation to a mark that is placed on it. The software calculates the necessary correction rotation to obtain the proper orientation. The belts receive the information and correct the rotation of the bottle to ensure its correct positioning in relation to the direction of the sleeve application.
The drying system allows for the removal of any moisture or condensation from the pack. It guarantees a dry product at the outlet of the machine for end-of-line packaging. It meets CE and UL standards and does not exceed 80 dB in production.
This module is located in the remote shrink-sleeve unwind unit for easy access and control without disrupting production. The coding function for printing the use-by date is also used to ensure product serialization and allows for the tracking of the product throughout its life cycle in accordance with food standards. Several marking technologies are available (laser, inkjet...).
