ATWELL LABEL APPLICATOR

• Applying pre-printed labels to food product packaging.
• Integrating into existing food processing and packaging lines for automated labelling.
• Labelling various product shapes and sizes, commonly on the side of the item.
• Utilised in sectors requiring accurate product identification and branding.

Typical throughput

Units of this class commonly offer throughputs ranging from 30 to 100 products per minute, depending on label size and application complexity.

Power supply

Typically requires a standard industrial single-phase or three-phase electrical supply, commonly 230V or 400V, 50Hz.

Label application method

This model is described as a 'print and apply' machine, indicating it prints variable data onto labels before applying them, typically via a tamp or wipe-on method.

Product orientation

Designed for side application, meaning products are usually conveyed past the applicator for labels to be applied to their vertical surfaces.

Integration

Commonly designed for integration into existing conveyor systems, requiring adequate space and synchronisation capabilities.

Label roll capacity

Units of this type typically accommodate label rolls with an outer diameter of up to 300mm to 350mm, reducing changeover frequency.

• What types of labels can this machine apply?

  This machine is designed for self-adhesive labels, typically on a roll. As a 'print and apply' unit, it can also print variable data such as batch codes or best-before dates onto these labels.

• Is this unit suitable for all product shapes?

• What maintenance is typically required for an Atwell label applicator?

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

• What are the common consumables for this type of machine?

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.
