A long standing staple of our UK demonstration machine range is ‘the wheel’ – or more specifically – the simulation wheel. This is an extremely useful device which we can use to simulate a continuous line operation and product flow, and check the real performance of our machines to leave nothing to doubt. Normally, this unit mounts an ALritma…
When is a label, not a label? Quite often, as it happens, as exampled here with felt material, applied to provide sound deadening to an automotive part and replace a completely manual process with profound productivity improvements! Our label applicators are regularly used to apply specialist materials in assembly processes, that might not initially be considered as possible to…
‘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…
ALwrap is a sophisticated, yet easy to operate, desktop labelling machine. It uses the same fundamental stepper motor control cards as our high-level labelling machines, and this control allows it to not only complete some applications other desktop machines cannot, but also, where desirable, to directly connect a compatible I/O equipped industrial desktop thermal or even colour printers from…
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…
Our demonstration ALfeeder with extended chute and ALritma labelling head is ideal for cards, cartons, and similar flat-even products. It provides an extremely economical offline feed and labelling system with a simple collection bin. On demand, it can also be fitted and seen with a TIJ (thermal inkjet) coding unit. Some examples of the system in operation are shown…
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…
