Interpack proves a success.
P.E. Labellers SpA. met with outstanding success at the recent
Interpack 2008 international exhibition with special interest in the
Rollmatic, new generation roll-fed labelling machine.
The Rollmatic labelling machine is available in different versions
for speeds ranging from 12000 to 72000cph and is suitable to handle
labels made of various materials such as paper, paper laminates,
polystyrene-polypropylene-polyethylene compounds, etc.
The machine is equipped with a double roll rest complete with an
automatic web-tensioning device, which can be called up automatically
from the format menu according to label dimension.
An independent servomotor, interacting with the notch detecting
photocell, controls the film drive and adjusts the label dispensing
speed by comparing the actual printing speed with the speed stored in
the format menu.
The label cut is performed by static and a rotary knife, which can
be used alternatively on the four sides. Once the label is positioned on
the transfer roller, it is held by a suction system while the glue is
being distributed on both label ends and it is then applied on the
container. A patented system stops the vacuum drum in case of a missing
bottle.
Due to the special design of the glue tank, completely separated
from the structure of the glue roller, the cleaning and maintenance
operations are very easy. The glue roller features a scraping system
that does not require any adjustment and ensures a constant and thin
glue layer.
Special attention has also been paid to the general maintenance
operations, reducing to the minimum the parts requiring lubrication and
centralizing in just one spot all the greasing points.
