ICE Vulcan Side Label Conveyor System

• Applying labels to the sides of products such as bottles, jars, and cartons.
• Integrating into existing production lines for automated product identification.
• Labelling products in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.
• Handling various product shapes, including round, oval, and rectangular containers.
• Applying promotional, ingredient, or barcode labels to consumer goods.

Typical throughput

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

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a single-phase 230V AC supply, often with a standard UK 3-pin plug.

Label application method

This system uses a side-apply method, commonly employing a wipe-on or air-blow applicator for precise label placement.

Product size range

The conveyor system is typically adjustable to accommodate a range of product widths and heights, often from 50mm to 200mm in width.

Label roll capacity

Commonly, units can handle label rolls with an outer diameter of up to 300mm and a core diameter of 76mm.

Footprint

A side label conveyor system typically has a linear footprint, with lengths commonly ranging from 1.5 to 3 metres, plus the applicator head.

• What types of labels can this system apply?

  This system is generally suitable for applying self-adhesive labels from a roll, including paper, clear, and synthetic materials. It typically handles a range of label sizes.

• Is this system suitable for integration into an existing production line?

• What kind of maintenance does a used labelling machine typically require?

• Can this machine handle different product shapes?

• What are the common wear parts on a side label conveyor system?

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.
