Labelling Machine - In line Labelling Systems - Linear Labellers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The ALline labeling systems are automatically-operated in-line systems which can be configured for the labeling of cylindrical, elliptical or rectangular products; moreover, they can suit specific requirements, such as the application of tamper-proof seals or labelling of singularly shaped products.
All ALline linear labellers have equally been designed according to cutting edge designing criteria which, in strict compliance with CE regulations, make every machine suitable for even the harshest of conditions, guarantee great labelling accuracy even at high production speeds and feature a high degree of operator-friendliness, as the start and change-over operations are particularly simple and intuitive.
In more detail, ALline is based on the "built-in" philosophy, which means that all components are "included" in the structure/cabinet, well protected against dirt and accidental bumps. The cobalt blue (or stainless steel) structure is extremely sturdy and, thanks to its eye-catching design, it qualifies the whole packaging line.
The control panel is located in an upper position, well protected against washing liquids or product loss. In standard configurations, the optional safety cabinet perfectly fits into the basic structure, thus sealing the ceiling; its pantograph style doors are extremely ergonomic and considerably reduce the footprint.
The completely internal cable path guarantees simpler cleaning, improved protection as well as a cleaner design.
The microprocessor-controlled format change-over is coupled with minimum mechanical adjustments, which have been engineered so that every component can be repeatedly positioned in a simple and reliable manner and firmly secured during its operations.
ALline C is configured to apply wrap-around labels to cylindrical products, usually glass or metal jars and bottles containing foodstuff, as well as chemical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical products in plastic, glass or metal vials. Its compact base may be equipped with a side labelling head of the ALstep or ALritma series. With regard to products handling, ALline C can be fitted with several kinds of slats and belt conveyors, featuring different sizes.
It also comes with a wide range of products spacers, to be chosen according to products and performances. An array of devices are available for wrap-around labelling, all of which are suitable for both wrap-around labelling and in-phase labelling. It can be equipped with the complete range of options of the ALline series, as well as with all labelling checking devices.
ALline E has been configured to apply two front/back labels to elliptical or rectangular products, generally food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and chemical products in plastic, glass or metal bottles and jars. Its basement can be fitted with two opposing side ALritma heads.
ALline E can be equipped with the handling and spacing devices used on ALline C, whilst specific orienting and stabilizing units are also available. As a standard feature, ALline E includes a state-of-the-art system which synchronises all its elements; not only does it make it possible to adjust the machine speed by means of a single potentiometer, but it also guarantees good quality labelling even during starting or stopping. In the Alline E the upper trestle is present even with absent cabinet, thus hardening the top stabilising belt for increased rigidity of the whole system.
ALline E can be equipped with some of the wrap-around units available for ALline C, thus allowing the labelling of cylindrical products.
Special ALline
ALline can also be specifically configured to meet special requirements. Multiple labelling in several positions, or the corner application of tamper-proof seals is possible thanks to the integration of extremely reliable and tested modular systems. The labelling of unstable cylindrical products can be performed by means of a special continuous or alternate-motion horizontal rollers conveyor.
Whenever high speed or range is needed, bigger, powered unwind units can be mounted; for speeds up to 500 p/min, the NON-STOP configurations, with automatic head activation, allow an easy roll change without having to stop the machine and with no reject for non performed labelling.
Thanks to their high modularity, all ALline systems can be equipped with an array of devices, thus
enhancing their range and performance. Such devices include the following:
micrometric adjustment for head inclination and revolution counters for adjustment handles
printing units for batches or sell-by dates
rotary infeed and outfeed tables,checking device for product flow (minimum infeed/outfeed)
checking devices for label presence, with automatic ejection
Thanks to its professional resources, ALTECH can provide a qualified technical advisory service for any
labelling problem, developing designs for complete plants and offering guaranteed maintenance and
assistance for all the installations.
