semi-automoatic tube labelling TNC-T

The semi-automatic labeling machine TNC-R was developed for the all-round labeling of tubes. Small batches can be labeled quickly and precisely with the labeller. The tubes are placed manually in the labeling system. As soon as the 2-hand operation is activated, the automated labeling process starts. The product is rotated and shifted, then the wrap-around label is applied exactly to the product. A printing unit can be integrated for individual labeling of the tubes. You can easily print the labels yourself inline. The integration of a printing unit is suitable, for example, for laboratory tubes or sample vessels that have to be provided with individual data.

The TNC-DS series is used to label cylindrical products on the circumference. For this purpose, the product is manually placed in the product turning station. The labelling process is triggered by actuating the foot switch or the optionally available 2-hand control. The product is rotated, and the label is applied precisely to the circumference of the label. As standard, the model is available with different roll widths (100 to 300 mm) and different label applicators (60 to 250 mm wide) or print- and apply systems. Optionally, the labels can be aligned using a welding seam or other product features. If front and back labels are on one label roll, the system can also place several labels on the circumference. The distance between the labels can be adjusted in the PLC. Depending on the operator, the output of this model is between 10 and 15 products/min.

The TNC-GG model series was developed to apply one or more labels to large cylindrical containers at the circumference. Instead of using „die-cut“ labels, it is also possible to handle continuous label material from the roll. Depending on the size of the product, the material is cut inside the system. The largest area of application for these systems is in the beverage industry, where beverage barrels (KEGs) are provided with a deposit banderol on the circumference and thus clearly indicate the owner of the returnable containers. Highly permanent label material is used for these applications, which can no longer be removed from the product without leaving residues. We also offer fully automated solutions for this.

Due to lower storage costs and higher flexibility, more and more manufacturers rely on the processing of unprinted tubes and mark them with a label directly before filling. The labeler TEM model was developed for this purpose and is able to apply a label to the circumference of the empty, unsealed tubes. For this purpose, the products are transported via a clocked transport system to the labeling station, where they are previously aligned and stabilized by means of a format-specific mandrel. The model can optionally be extended to include infeed and outfeed magazines and/or steep conveyors into the tube filler. As a double-cycle variant, throughput can be doubled. Special sensor technology makes target labeling possible based on print marks or lid features.
