WipeOn Label Applicators

LSI offers different wipe-on label applicators and roll-on label applicators. These label applicators are ideal for applications where the product may have an irregular surface or a recessed area. For an effective wipe-on roll-on application the conveyor speed and the label web speed need to be consistent with one another and the label must feed the direction of the product travel. The roller or brush is then used to ensure proper label adhesion.
The wipe-on application method utilizes a brush or wipe assembly to ensure label adhesion. A wipe-on applicator is usually selected with products that have high and low areas in the label placement area (ex. recessed panel) or products that are irregular in shape.
The Roll-On Label Applicator as a roller made of foam or rubber, is spring loaded and mounted just ahead of the peeler bar. This rolls across the label to ensure adhesion. The product surface is usually flat or slightly rounded.
Another type of Roll-On Label Applicator includes a peeler bar extension for when the labeling head cannot be positioned close to the product. The roll-on applicator is mounted just ahead of the peeler bar and is spring loaded. The roll-on applicator and the surface is flat or slightly rounded.
