‘L-seal’ and ‘Watchstrap’ tamper labels are increasingly replacing shrink sleeves on jar products due to customer efforts to reduce plastics. Our highly innovative rotary adaption solution allows these labels to be applied and perfectly adapted at high speed, further complemented via the possibility of a non-stop, continual running, dual-head machine configuration, as shown here on a uniquely configured ALline…
We’re excited about this one! After many years of design and development, we are delighted to announce ‘ALrobot’, a fully robotic turn-key print and apply solution for pallet labelling. Part pallet, full pallet, double stack pallets, multiple label positions, extended strokes – all no issue with ALrobot pallet labeller. A step change in pallet labelling technology! If you are…
In this case study, we present an economic reel-to-reel label media unwind-to-rewind system with a top-mounted ALritma labelling head, to allow the placement of a label accurately on a base label. We call this an ‘ALwind’ solution, and this particular machine was built for a leading artisan foods customer selling products in jars, to place ‘awards’ labels (usually, ‘Great…
Pre-mixed cocktails are a relatively new and exciting product in the drinks industry. This impressive ALline labelling machine, recently supplied to our Central London customer, applies L-seal tamper and registered body labels to tapered-shaped glass bottles, typical of the industry, in various size formats. Despite being a challenging application requiring a labelling result expected for a premium product, and…
Sometimes customers have unusual requirements, like this special ALstep tamp machine, where the customer needed to place labels at two height positions (depending on the arriving tote format). But our knowledgeable team are astutely expert at finding reliable and cost-effective solutions when faced with something new, usually via simple adaptation of an already existing modular solution. #Labelling #Labelingmachine #ALTech…
In this interesting vitamins and supplements application, we were tasked to place a body label in rotational registration with the angled cap of the container – and then a further lid label on this angled section of the cap. Most will probably have seen the container in a leading high-street pharmacy business with branches throughout the country. There were…
To start the new year, we are proud to present this multi-functional box feeding solution able to handle all sizes & types of flat boxes, including both crash lock and corrugated outer case boxes. Feeding crash lock boxes is difficult in its own right due to the uneven distribution of mass. Combining this with the possibility of feeding much…
This dual-head ALstep ‘Tamp-Blow’ application solution applies four matching barcodes to totes just after they have been moulded. These barcodes provide the tote with a unique identity for later use in an automated warehouse, and it is imperative all barcodes match. To ensure this, our solution also includes our ALcheck control checking system, which sequence matches the four barcodes…
A big thank you to everyone who visited our stand at this year’s PPMA show! We enjoyed being able to demonstrate the quality of our machines first-hand, even if it can be challenging to show a representative range in such a small space, and received many complimentary comments on the build and features of the machines presented, as well…
ALmatic E may only be a semi-automatic labelling solution, but this does not stop it from being one of the most technically advanced labelling machines on the market of any type – highlighting the sophistication of our motor control algorithms, and with an adjustable two-position jig, it is perhaps more productive than most people first envisage. In this application,…
