Sovereign SOV140 OH Top labeller

• Applying labels to the top surface of packaged food items such as trays, punnets, or cartons.
• Labelling baked goods, ready meals, or fresh produce for branding, nutritional information, or barcodes.
• Integration into existing food production lines requiring automated top-side product identification.
• Suitable for products requiring tamper-evident seals or promotional labels on their upper surface.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput commonly ranges from 30 to 100 products per minute, depending on product size and label application complexity.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a single-phase (230V, 50Hz) or three-phase (400V, 50Hz) electrical supply. This specific unit is listed as 1Ph.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Label application method

Typically uses a wipe-on or blow-on method for precise label placement on the top surface of products.

Product dimensions

Units are typically designed to accommodate a range of product heights and widths, with adjustable guides and labelling heads. This unit has belt dimensions of 1500mm x 90mm and a max label width of 90mm.

Control system

Modern top labellers commonly feature HMI touch screen controls for setting parameters, managing recipes, and diagnostics.

Footprint

The overall footprint for a top labeller of this type can vary, but typically requires approximately 1.5m to 2.5m in length for the conveyor and labelling head.
