Automatic Shrink Sleeve Label Applicator Machine

Key Features

• The Shrink Sleeve Applicator machine is manufactured or developed accordance with GMP standards.
• The structure of Shrink sleeve applicator and conveyor are made of SS 304 and internal parts will be MS powder coated / hard chrome plated.
• Rigid vibration free construction for trouble free performance.
• The SS 304 slat conveyor for proper product conveying (For the processes of sleeve inserting and Automatic sleeve shrinking).
• In-feed screw for the positive feeding of bottle.
• The movement of shaft is controlled by servo motor to ensure intermittent flow of the sleeve roll during its travel along the dancing rollers.
• Specially designed cutter device with PLC controlled for cutting of sleeve.
• Total operation of the machine like speed of conveyor, speed of feeder, length of sleeve, cutting speed etc. are controlled by PLC.
• Easy to operate PLC by mean of feather touch HMI
• User-friendly and very less maintenance required because of less usage of mechanical components.
• The construction of machine’s electrical panel is in line with the IP 55 standard.
• In case roll gets over, there is alarm notification (buzzer) for indicating the same
• Web guide control to ensure that there is no lateral movement of sleeve laminate
• Gaskets, seals and O-rings are constructed of food grade/ non-toxic polymeric materials only
• All welds are ground finished
• Provision of Photocell sensor to read the eye mark- eye mark distance on the sleeve roll which generates the length of the sleeve suitable as per the bottle size (If printed sleeves are used).
• Separate Stepper Motors for controlling the movement of rotary brushes to ensure that sleeve is properly settled on bottle
• Sensor to indicate the presence of bottle, immediately after which the sleeve should be dispensed on bottle. If there is NO BOTTLE NO SLEEVE will be dispensed
• Unique compact tunnel with minimal power consumption
• The tunnel comprised of pre and post heat shrink zone to shrink the sleeve on bottle
• The heaters are installed at the side of the tunnel to ensure that there is uniform distribution of heat on the sleeve
• Overhead convection fan for precise cooling at output
• Digital temperature controller to ensure that uniform temperature is maintained at the time of shrinking
• The change over time from one SKU to other will take approximately 30 to 45 min
• Cleaning is done manually and all those sections which have to be cleaned are easily dismantled
• Design of equipment with enhanced cleaning feasibility by providing minimum sharp corners, minimum crevices & smooth finished welds joints
• Sleeve feeding controlled by PLC for the accurate feeding of sleeve.
• Specially designed rotary cutter device with PLC controlled for cutting of sleeve.
• Warning stickers on all external & moving surfaces
• Appropriate closure of all the rotation parts
• Emergency stop function on accessible area
• Noise level below than 75 DB
• Power restart will not be automatic and human intervention must be required
• After regain of power the equipment shall start from the step it stopped
• Total operation of the machine like speed of conveyor, speed of feeder, length of sleeve, cutting speed etc. are controlled by PLC.
• Easy to operate PLC by mean of touch screen HMI.
• User friendly and very less maintenance required because of less usage of mechanical components
• Most reliable and proven components such as Festo/SMC make pneumatic and electric/electronic components such as Panasonic/Bonfiglioli/Motovario make AC motor, Delta make AC Drive, PLC & HMI, Sensor LEUZE/BANNER/SICK, MCB & relay “CE” certified.
