Machine Overview: Automatic inline self-adhesive labeling machine equipped with two self-adhesive application stations for front and back labels. The system transports containers in a linear path and provides positive product control through an integrated gapping device, a winding/rewinding unit, and a top-loading counter-belt. At the machine outlet, a dedicated sanding system ensures optimal label adhesion and finish. The unit is suitable for medium to large containers ranging from 1 to 10 L and was refurbished in 2022 to extend its lifecycle and reliability. Designed and built by PE, model PACK LAB, year of manufacture 2008. Key technical data Configuration: Linear labeller with 2 self-adhesive stations Labelling method: Pressure-sensitive labels (adhesive) Label positioning: Front and back (single or double application) Optical centring: Not equipped (mechanical guidance and product handling) Container range: 1 to 10 L containers (typical rigid bottles/cans with stable base) Product handling: Container spacing device, winding/rolling unit, top securing counter belt Output: Label smoothing system at machine outlet Protection class: IP54 (machine and electric motors) Year: 2008 | General overhaul: 2022 Reference: ET225 | Model: PACK LAB | Manufacturer: PE Automation & Control Control Architecture: PLC-based industrial control with 24 VDC auxiliaries for machine logic Power Distribution: 400 V ±5%, 50 Hz, 3P + N + PE (neutral and separate protective earth) Instrumentation Power: 24 VAC / 230 VAC Operator Interface: HMI with recipe/format management and station status (typical for this series) Sensors & Interlocks: Interlocked safety guards, product presence and label application monitoring Line Integration Feed Control: Integrated spacing module stabilizes product pitch prior to labeling Product Stabilization: Top retaining counter belt and take-up/wrap-up unit for accurate label placement Output Quality: Smoothing/pressure elements at discharge to ensure adhesion and finish Mechanical Interface: Linear conveyor path suitable for integration into existing bottling/packaging lines Utility Interface: Standard industrial electrical connections as specified below; no optical centering required Condition and Maintenance Refurbishment: Complete overhaul performed in 2022, including verification of application stations, drive components, belts/rollers, guards and electrical sections Preventive Maintenance: Routine service is recommended on label unwind/rewind assemblies, rollers, ribbons and sensors based on operating hours and label materials Replacement Parts: Standard wear parts readily repairable for long-term support Performance and Versatility Applications: Front and back labeling on a wide variety of rigid containers in the 1 to 10 L segment (e.g., food, beverage, household/industrial chemicals) Materials: Compatible with common pressure-sensitive label substrates (paper and film) and standard adhesives Changeover: Recipe-based adjustments with mechanical guides and positioning scales to reduce format setup time Quality: Stable product handling and final smoothing ensure consistent label alignment and adhesion Note: Actual throughput depends on container size/geometry, label size and line conditions Site Requirements Power Electrical: 400 V ±5%, 50 Hz, 3P + N + PE Auxiliaries: 24 VDC controls; 24 VAC / 230 VAC instrumentation Environmental conditions: Temperature 5–40 °C; Relative humidity 30–80% non-condensing; Altitude ≤ 1000 m above sea level Area classification: Non-hazardous; no explosive atmospheres Degree of protection: IP54 machine and motors; Install in a clean, dry area Safety and compliance Machine protection: Full protection with interlocked access doors and emergency stop circuit Electrical protection: IP54 enclosure, segregated neutral and protective earth, compliant with standard industry practices Operational safety: Designed for safe operation with controlled product handling and post-application smoothing Documentation: Electrical characteristics and operating conditions as indicated to support risk assessment and commissioning.
