Labeling Machines

They are the machines used for labeling the product bottles and containers. They consist of a printer and label orienter and applicator (cold glue or hot melt glue) or pressure sensitive label. These may come separately or as an integrated system.

A simple label dispenser is required for low volume productions where the label placement position is not necessary to maintain.

In the semiautomatic machines, the operator places the product in place and starts the operation. The label is applied and next label takes the position. Operator removes the labeled product and places another. These may be print and apply models where the printing and labeling takes place simultaneously. These models are more useful when it is not possible to print and store labels.

Automatic labelers are required for high volume, high speed labeling needs. Present day fully automatic labeling machines are installed with the label inspection machines to check the orientation and printing of labels on the containers.

Wet glue labeling machine applies labels to a rigid container, using an adhesive which is liquid at room temperature.

Hot melt glue labeling machine applies labels to a rigid container, using an adhesive which is solid at room temperature.

Pressure sensitive labeling machine applies pre-glued labels supplied on a reel of release paper or film.

Print and apply labeling machine is where the label is first printed and then applied to a package.

Weigh price labeling machine is where the labeler is attached to the checkweigher. The filled product is first weighed and then labeled accordingly.
