This allowed the head to apply the label with a simple wipe-on device, synchronised with the feeding speed using a standard encoder.<\/p>\n<p>This solution of applying the label directly onto the film is generally only recommended for the application of larger labels. For smaller labels, such as peal and reseal or promotional labels, ALTech commonly suggests an alternative system to apply the label after the collar of the forming tube; this is due to this type of label often having a greater chance of being pre-dispensed given the reduced adhesive contact area and rigidity of the label. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.altech-uk.com\/news\/peel-and-reseal-labelling-system\/\">Click here<\/a> for this case study.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the machine in action<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xHfDojt2Wbg?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>View a 3D animation of the machine<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"236\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/h-qzD78sZK4?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"text-justify\"><p>May&#8217;s machine of the month is a labelling head built for a Vertical Form, Fill and Seal (VFFS) machine manufacturer.
