Machine Overview The Cavagnino & Gatti labeling machine is a rotary labeling machine manufactured by CAVAGNINO & GATTI in 2002. It features a 14-platen counterclockwise rotating carousel and a mixed-technology configuration: three self-adhesive labeling stations and a cold glue station. The machine is designed to apply front and back body labels in a single pass, with an additional station dedicated to a bottom label measuring approximately 2 x 6 cm. This architecture allows for flexible configurations, from adhesive-only operation to hybrid cycles in which a cold glue label (e.g., a fiscal strip or a casing component) is combined with pressure-sensitive labels. The 14 rotating bottle plates ensure stable container handling for consistent label placement. Typical applications include glass or PET beverage and specialty food containers, as permitted by installed spare parts. The machine's robust stainless steel construction and IP54-rated electrical system are suitable for industrial bottling environments. Key Technical Data Manufacturer/Model: CAVAGNINO & GATTI – Rotary Labeler Reference: ET225 Year of Manufacture: 2002 Carousel: 14 plates, counterclockwise rotation Labeling Technology: 3 × pressure-sensitive stations (self-adhesive) + 1 × cold glue station Label Positions: Front and back body labels; Additional bottom label (~2 × 6 cm) Automation and Control Rotary motion with variable speed control for synchronized infeed, carousel, and outfeed. 24 VDC control circuitry with 24 VAC/230 VAC instrumentation as per design data. Sensors for container presence and label detection typical for self-adhesive and cold glue processes. Operator controls for station enable/disable, speed adjustment, and format selection (parts must be changed for each format). Line Integration: Designed for in-line operation with upstream filling/capping and downstream inspection/packaging equipment. Standard 24 VDC I/O handshaking signals can be used for start/stop, faults, and safety interlocks. Mechanical interfaces for infeed and outfeed conveyors and star wheels; alignment and timing performed on the rotating carousel. Ability to operate pressure-sensitive stations independently or in combination with the cold glue station, allowing for multiple labeling scenarios in a single pass. Condition and Maintenance: Used unit (year 2002). Actual condition and supply to be verified at the time of inspection. Preventive service recommended for wear items: peel edges, pressure rollers, belts, bearings, cold glue rollers/pots, and scraper elements. Cold glue circuits should be inspected for buildup; adhesive stations should be calibrated for web tension and label placement. Routine checks: sensor alignment and sensitivity, bottle plate leveling, station registration, guarding, and safety interlocks. Performance and Versatility: Capable of double-sided labeling with an additional bottom label in a single pass, leveraging mixed adhesive technologies. Suitable for paper or film labels (pressure-sensitive) and paper labels (cold glue), depending on material compatibility and station configuration. The 14-platen carousel supports medium-speed operations; actual throughput depends on container geometry, label size, adhesives, and process settings. Format flexibility is achievable with appropriate container and label spare parts. Site Requirements: Power supply: 400V ±5%, 50Hz, 3P + N + PE (separate neutral and protective earth). Control voltages: 24 VDC auxiliaries; 24 VAC/230 VAC instrumentation circuits. Environmental conditions (design data): Ambient temperature: 5°C to 40°C Relative humidity: 30%–80% (non-condensing) Maximum altitude: 1000 m above sea level Hazardous/explosive atmospheres: Not permitted Flooring: Flat, load-bearing industrial grade with space for guarding and service access. Auxiliaries: Dry compressed air and extraction may be required from auxiliary devices depending on final configuration (to be verified during line audit). Safety and compliance: IP54 protection on electrical systems and motors for industrial environments with routine (non-high-pressure) washdown and exposure to dust. Fixed and interlocked guards with emergency stop circuits typical of rotary labelers; safety performance to be confirmed at commissioning. Installation, risk assessment, and validation must be performed in accordance with applicable electrical and machinery standards and the end-user's safety procedures.
