ALsleeve - sleeve labeling machines, is a range of automatically-operated systems designed to apply plastic, heat shrink sleeves to provide body decoration and/or effective tamper evident seals on caps and lids for food, cosmetic and chemical products.
Sleeves are obtained from a flat, continuous tubing made of heat shrinkable plastic material (PET, PVC, Polypropylene) wrapped in a roll, which is first cut at a programmable height (or at a specific mark) and then applied onto the product with a synchronised mechanism activated by a product tracing photocell.
ALsleeve T - heat shrink sleever - is an original, extremely economical unit suitable for effective tamper evident protection of caps and lids for food, cosmetic and chemical products.
The unit cycle is controlled by a PLC, whose keyboard and display allow the operator to easily enter the operational parameters. It is equipped with a knife and a big unwind unit for rolls up to 400 mm of diameter and sleeves from 20 up to 150 mm lay flat (suitable for caps of 20 to 80 mm of diameter).
As an option, it can be fitted with a longitudinal perforation device, making it easier for the consumer to tear off the sleeve. The production speed up to 80 p/min is an interesting advantage, especially in relation to the extremely low price of the unit.
Under particular circumstances (relative low products and reduced speeds), it can also be configured for the application of full-body sleeves: such a configuration includes an optional transversal sleeve perforator facilitating the detachment of the upper sleeve from the lower decorating one. ALsleeve T is so compact, modular and flexible that it can be easily integrated into existing production lines.
The ALsleeve family is part of the wide range of self adhesive labelling systems of which ALTECH is a world leader manufacturer. Its particularly low prices do contribute to make it stand out on this sector's market.
Thanks to its professional resources, ALTECH can provide skilled technical advice for any labelling, decoration, sealing and identification problem, design complete plants and guarantee top-class maintenance and service.
