ALTech have recently built a front, back and neck labelling system for a major Middle Eastern distillery. A key requirement of the customer was to have a flexible machine, able to label different shaped and sized bottles with up to 3 labels, and in some cases in register with glass decoration.
The system is based on an ALline Special with three ALritma labelling heads. The modular configuration of the machine allows the customer to enable/disable specific devices as required for each type of liquor bottle. As a result, the solution is able to apply front, back and neck labels to square and rectangular bottles and front, back and neck labels in register with glass decoration to cylindrical bottles, and can run from 25 to 60 bottles per minute, depending on the specific application.
