Case Labelling with Added Flexibility! Take a look at a recent highly adaptable case labelling machine designed by our UK team. Engineered to handle an extremely wide range of box sizes from 100mm to 400mm wide, our customer further challenged us by needing to keep all cases against a rear datum to allow cases to be #inkjet coded as…
Modular design and configuration flexibility is part of the DNA of every ALTech labelling head, as shown here with our economic ‘ALstep’ machine. The concept of modular flexibility in the design and configuration of labelling machines is not just a feature but a foundational element of ALTech’s approach to engineering. At the heart of this philosophy lies the economic…
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…
Unique, readable barcodes are fundamental ingredients to any automated tote handling system. In this application, we apply and then verify barcode label presence and readability with the ‘just moulded’ tote presented via robot. This unique serial number barcode label then stays with the tote for life, providing it with an identity so it can be used on an automated…
A common outer case labelling requirement is to apply the barcode label on two adjacent faces as a corner wraparound. This helps ensure the label can be read when palletised or stacked in racking. This video shows a recent application for two machines placed inline with an automatic carton erector for a snack bar product. Because labels are inherently…
Placing a round label on a round product is tricky because a ‘half-moon’ placement effect magnifies any inaccuracy. In this application, labelling PTFE tapes, we also need to apply labels into a recess, further increasing the difficulty of the requirement. However, in this economical solution, we are still able to use our entry-level ‘ALstep’ labelling head, which through scale…

This simple and low-cost labelling solution for dog food 🐶 sausage chubs was recently completed by our UK team and operates in line…

Automatic missing label recovery is a standard feature on nearly all our labelling heads, including even our economic ALstep machine as demonstrated here on our show stand at PPMA 2019, recovering a missing label on the web to ensure no unlabelled products. #labelling
May’s machine of the month is a labelling head built for a Vertical Form, Fill and Seal (VFFS) machine manufacturer. The end user of this solution was a fresh produce supplier, who required a system to apply relatively large labels onto their bags during the packaging process. This allowed them to tailor their packaging to the individual products, reducing…
