Unknown - Packaging Labeller

• Applying product labels to various packaging types in food production lines.
• Labelling bottles, jars, trays, and pouches with branding, nutritional, or batch information.
• Used in bakeries, dairies, ready-meal facilities, and beverage plants for product identification.
• Essential for compliance with food labelling regulations and consumer information requirements.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 30 to 150 products per minute, depending on the label size and application method.

Label application method

Units of this type typically utilise pressure-sensitive (self-adhesive) labels, applied via wipe-on, blow-on, or tamp-on applicators.

Product handling

Commonly features conveyor systems for product transport, with guides or star wheels to ensure accurate label placement.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial electrical supply, commonly 230V or 400V, 3-phase, with a frequency of 50Hz.

Air supply

Many labellers, especially those with blow-on or tamp-on applicators, require a clean, dry compressed air supply, typically 6-8 bar.

Footprint

The footprint for packaging labellers can vary significantly, but often ranges from 1.5m to 3m in length and 0.8m to 1.5m in width for standalone units.

Label roll capacity

Units are commonly designed to accommodate label rolls with an outer diameter of up to 300mm and a core diameter of 76mm.

• What types of labels can this machine typically apply?

  This category of labeller is generally designed for self-adhesive labels, which can include paper, clear, or synthetic materials. The specific label size and material compatibility should be confirmed with the seller.

• Is this labeller suitable for different product sizes?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used labeller?

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing production line?

• Does this labeller include a printer for variable data?

Used labeling machines remain reliable workhorses in food processing operations. Buyers typically prioritise machines with proven track records from established manufacturers and those requiring minimal tooling changeover. Key considerations include label application accuracy, speed capabilities, and spare parts availability. Industry sentiment favours machines in good mechanical condition with clear maintenance histories. Common strengths noted include straightforward operation, robust construction, and adaptability to various label formats and container types. Purchasing decisions often centre on total cost of ownership and compatibility with existing production lines.
