Forward thinking. Before it was necessary ⚙️ Around 15 years ago, we delivered a bespoke solution to a forward-thinking board game manufacturer looking to remove plastic film wrapping from their products. Long before sustainability became a widespread requirement, the objective was to replace shrink wrap with transparent tamper seal labels — maintaining presentation while securely sealing the box. The…
Automation only makes sense if you can trust it to work autonomously 🤖 Watch this ALritma labelling head working synchronously as part of an automatic sack palletisation system for one of the UK’s leading mills. The system runs continuously – reliably – and entirely hands-free. In fact, the machine is so critical to the process that the customer keeps…
🍓 Labelling at full throttle for peak strawberry season. As the UK strawberry season kicks into full swing, punnet lines are moving fast — and so must the labelling. Here, ALritma labelling heads apply promotional top labels at high speed, inline with a @Proseal UK Ltd GT2 top-seal punnet line delivering punnets in batches of six at a proud…
Precision labelling MDF boards at high speed – even in the toughest conditions. This ALTech UK installation features multiple ALritma X labelling heads, running comfortably at over 120m/min to apply product ID labels directly to MDF boards in a dusty, high-throughput timber environment. The system is gantry-mounted above the line with motorised raise/lower adjustment and a 90° rotation support,…
Speed matters – especially point–in–time. ⚡ Packaging lines don’t always run at a steady pace — especially after tray sealers or thermoformers, for example. What really matters is point–in–time speed: the momentary rate at which products arrive for labelling. This peak demand is often far greater than the average line speed — and it’s where many labelling systems struggle….
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…
‘Multi-label’ is a standard feature on our ALritma labelling head, even in wide web 300mm ‘L’ form. It allows the accurate placement of multiple labels at user-defined delay distances from a single ‘start’ trigger. It is useful where products cannot be easily individually sensed, as exampled here by applying five separate labels to multi-packs of large polystyrene transport boxes….
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…
