DESCRIPTION

The Compact 3R, (Three Roller - Wrap Labeller) provides a quality wrap application of labels onto cylindrical containers. The key advantage of this style of machine is the quality of application, full wrap labels can be overlapped with perfect alignment*. This is also the machine you require when you are trying to achieve that "No Label Look". The labels can be partial or full wrap, spot or front and back labels. The machine can be operated in an existing line or as a Stand-alone unit. The 3R machine has one labelling head and allows for future expansion to the 3R2 (2 labelling heads), as against the 3RS machine which has no capability of growth.

EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS

• Wine Bottle Labelling - front & back, full wrap or add spot labels to pre-labelled bottles

  • 3R - Front & Back labels printed alternately on one web; or overlabelling

  • 3R2 - Front & Back labels can be on separate webs; Front & Back labels printed alternately on one web and overlabeling (or spot labeling)

• Aerosol Can Labeler - with label/s oriented to seam, spot, full or partial wrap

• Plastic Bottle Labelling - with full wrap label - where label alignment is critical

• Poison or Embossed Bottles - with orientation to embossing

• Soft sided bottles - maintaining good control

PROCESS
The standard machine consists of a 2.4M x 900mm high conveyor. On pressing Run the conveyor starts, the products once on the conveyor will travel until they come in contact with the variable speed Star wheel, the products are then released at intervals set by the operator. The product then travels until it is gripped by the pneumatic ram that pushes it against a rubber roller, at this point the product is spinning on its own axis and 1 or multiple labels can be dispensed.
Optionally, a sensor can pick up, the seam of a tin, embossing on a bottle, an existing label, a specific colour on a label, at which time a label can be placed in relation to the detected item. These are just some samples of what can be detected and labels registered to, contact us for specific requirements.
Once the label/s are wrapped onto the product the ram of the 3-roller unit releases and the product continues down the conveyor.

If this machine doesn't quite meet your requirements - try one of these!

• Way beyond your means

• Need same functionality but throughput could be less

• Throughput could be less - and you need to do Flat product as well

• These machines are too big for your space

• Need to go faster and you don't need orientation

• Need to go much faster

• Need to do Oval bottles as well

• Still can't sort it out - send Compact an information sheet to assist you

• NOTE: If you require to automatically apply labels relative to the seam on a cylindrical plastic bottle, this feature is available on another machine - Compact believe that they are one of the few companies in the world that can offer this style of machine - CO & CO-SA
