Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, speeds commonly range from 30 to 60 metres per minute, depending on label size and product handling.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase AC supply for main motors, often controlled by single-phase inverters.

Label reel capacity

Commonly accommodates label reels up to 300mm outside diameter with 76.2mm inside diameter cores.

Conveyor dimensions

Conveyors for overhead labelling systems typically feature lengths around 1500mm and widths around 200mm, though this can vary.

Label type suitability

Generally suitable for die-cut labels with small gaps (e.g., 3mm) on automatic dispensing quality carriers.

Product detection

Units commonly feature optical sensors for both label gap and product detection, often with sensitivity adjustments.

• What kind of products can an overhead labelling system handle?

  Overhead labelling systems are versatile and can apply labels to a wide range of products, particularly those that are stable on a conveyor and require top-down label application, such as cartons, trays, or packaged goods.

• Is this machine suitable for different label sizes?

• What maintenance is typically required for a labelling machine?

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

• What spares are commonly needed for these machines?

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.
