Purdy - Labeller & Glue Pot

Applications & Use Cases

• Applying paper labels to jars, bottles, or cans in food and beverage production.
• Labelling various container types for sauces, preserves, and other packaged goods.
• Use in small to medium-scale production lines requiring wet glue application.
• Suitable for products where a traditional, robust label adhesion method is preferred.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 30 to 100 containers per minute, depending on container size and label complexity.

Power supply

Commonly, units of this type operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a modest power draw.

Footprint

A labeller with a separate glue pot, as described, typically requires a linear footprint of 2.5 to 4 metres in length and 0.8 to 1.2 metres in width for the main labelling unit, plus space for the glue pot and any associated conveyors.

Label type

Designed for cut-and-stack paper labels, applied using a wet glue system.

Container compatibility

Typically handles cylindrical containers, such as cans, jars, and bottles, within a common diameter range, often requiring change parts for different sizes.

Glue type

Utilises cold wet glue, commonly dextrin-based or synthetic resin emulsions, for label adhesion.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What maintenance is typically required for a wet glue labeller?
