At the next edition of SIMEI, the bottling equipment exhibition taking place from 24 to 28 November at the Rho/Pero centre, ALTECH will present a new model of labelling head: the ALritma X, where X emphasizes and highlights its exceptional performances.
The entry version of the new ALritma X is equipped with an enlarged 400 mm diameter unwind unit and an oversized rewinder unit for the silicon paper, for increased range and reduced downtime. It can reach label feed speed of up to 40 m/min (thanks to a new, powerful stepper motor driver board) and is available for label widths of 100 and 200 mm.
The advanced version of the ALritma X is fitted with an HP (high performance) kit made up of a motorized rewinder unit for the silicon paper as well as an innovative “push-pull” label web drive system. In this configuration the unit can reach 90 m/min at a cruising rate of 900 labels/min., with high positioning accuracy even when the product transit speed varies. This version is particularly suited to huge workloads, such as on rotary labellers, especially in applications using printers/markers with their checking devices.
ALritma X The ALritma X includes numerous technological innovations, the result of ALTECH experience in manufacturing over 5,000 ALritma units.
Among these are:
the facilitated paper insertion system (with cantilevered rollers);
the compact size (albeit with a 400 mm unwind unit), the double-effect pre-unwinding system;
the push-pull drive system;
the compact rewinder unit for the silicon paper with brushless motor and gearmotor buried in the unwind plate;
the silicone paper removal system integrated into the paper driving disc;
the checking device for near end-of-reel and rewinder full, with new ultrasound sensors;
the reel blocking system through an expansion mandrel;
the IP55 rated machine body;
and the compact control box with a touch screen interface.
The HP version of the ALritma X will be on display at SIMEI, where it will be functioning on a simulator in order for visitors to appreciate its high performances.
