ALline Special

As a leading manufacturer of linear self-adhesive labelling systems, we are confident that we can display a diversity of proven application solutions and concepts to allow us to solve even the most challenging decorative labelling requirements.


Multi Panel, Tamper Tab & Special Solutions

Our extensive labelling experience and highly evolved product range have allowed us to develop and standardise many innovative proven application concepts, above and beyond the more common labelling formats well known in the industry.

These solutions allow us the possibility to apply labels on special shape products, to rotationally register products at higher speeds than traditional solutions might enable; to create solutions that run non-stop and solutions which can apply the label over multiple panels of the product.

Below we detail a couple of the concepts which enable this.

ALline Special in Detail

Our U-gate adaption system allows label application around two or three faces of a product, and even via the assistance of an after-wraparound unit, four faces. The system can be used with both square and rectangular products as well as special-shaped & rounded products.

The solution operates in combination with a secondary top holding/stabilisation belt (and pre-orientation unit if required), pre-dispensing the label across our U-gate system. Here it is momentarily held via the assistance of a triggered air support unit, before the product is driven through the label, applying it around two or three panels of the product adapted by the opening gate unit.

Two key features that distinguish our solution for others:

  • Our solution is designed for high volume use; our spring-loaded solid gate design will not wear out quickly or develop 'memory' as per any solution using just simple flaps to achieve a similar effect.
  • 'Label flag'; our label applicators feature a sophisticated label dispensing function where the feed of the label can be split into two parts. In real terms this allows us to keep the peeler close to the product and pre-dispense only the 'front' element of the label, feeding the remainder of the label as the product is driven through the U-gate system, so maintaining greater control than fully pre-dispensing it.

Our high-speed rotary adaption system is a great example of our innovation.

Based on the same stepper motor technology that drives our labelling heads, and capable of being fully synchronised with the other elements of the machine, this 'always ready' solution is extremely fast; capable of speeds of up to 300 pieces p/min in certain situations.

This speed of movement is what also contributes to a more accurate label application, with little or no label drag back as compared to more commonly used pneumatically operated solutions, especially where the label is long or needs to be applied against the direction of product movement.

Common uses for the solution include tamper tab adaption, either from the side or above the product (adapting a separate tamper label); or a combination body label with integrated tamper tab. Or for 'watch-strap' label application, adapting the label down the two horizontally opposed sides of the container (after it is initially applied on top); e.g. for tax strip labelling, labelling coleslaw and salad pots; sealing a box, etc.

A common 'special' ALline machine configuration is the placement of multiple labelling heads in series, to allow non-stop operation. It is supplied with a sophisticated control unit which tracks products between the labelling heads to ensure label placement on every product even at head changeover.

As an alternative to this solution, we offer both enlarged (up to 500mm) label unwind reel systems as well as the possibility of splicing systems, to allow almost continual machine operation and reduced downtime.

Most of the machines we build would be described as multi-functional, not labelling a single product but a range of products. In many cases these machines will combine the solutions discussed above with some of the other ALline machine configurations listed; e.g. ALline C wraparound machines with tamper adaption systems; ALline E front-back machines with 3-panel label options etc.

We build hundreds of ALline machines each year, with a modular design allowing us to create individually tailored machine solutions to optimise them to the application and product range presented. Consequently, our library of completed solutions is vast - far higher than could be presented in this website.

For this reason, in most cases, there is a high priority we have already labelled your product or something very similar. Please contact us to discuss this.
