Packet-feeder works in tandem with label applicator to smooth route to automation

The new system combines a LabelPack wipe-on applicator with an automatic feeding unit for a variety of package types, says AM Labels, from pouches with zippers to small cartons.

The addition of the automatic packet-feeding system means it can offer customers a fully-integrated labelling system, the company adds. When connected to the LabelPack Label X JR wipe-on applicator, the new combined system can automate the feeding of packets, pouches, cartons and boxes with the application of labels in a single, seamless process, says the company.

AM Labels claims the combination reduces manual handling requirements and ensures a more consistent, efficient labelling process. One specific benefit of the packet-feeding array is the auto-gating system that allows for the labelling of pouches with zip locks, extending the versatility of the feeder labeller.

The system is designed to support businesses in food, pharmaceuticals, and other consumer goods industries.

A large hopper at the infeed and a variable speed of up to 30 metres per minute provide important benefits for the feeder, the supplier reports, enabling the handling of a range of packet sizes and thicknesses. Quick-set hopper guides reduce the setup time to simplify the process of changing pack and material types. The combined system boasts a compact footprint, with a range of customisable configurations to meet a variety of specific application needs.

As a key component of the combined system, the fully-automatic Label X JR applicator is said to be ideal for medium-volume applications. The programmable, wipe-on label applicator can match the feeder’s speeds of up to 30 metres per minute. 

The Label X JR is designed for labels up to 140mm wide and 350 mm long, and can accommodate label rolls with a diameter of up to 300mm. According to AM Labels, the applicator offers advanced features to improve accuracy and efficiency, including automatic label recovery and a liner-break alarm that alerts users to any faults with the line.
