Corner Wrap Label Applicator

Model 080 Corner Wrap Applicator

This applicator will apply a label to the front and side panel of a product. As the product passes the product sensor the label will feed out onto the vacuum grid. The label is fully dispensed before the product makes contact with the applicator. As the product continues through, the applicator pivots around the corner of the product wiping down the side panel. This type of applicator is normally designed to operate with a specific size label.This label position can be slightly adjusted by moving the labeling head toward or away from the product.

The vacuum is created by the use of a hi-volume vacuum fan to prevent clogging of the vacuum system associated with dusty environments.

A positive drive of the product is required for optimal applicator performance. A belted or rough top type conveyor is us typically used. If a product is light in weight, a passive or active top hold down accessory may be installed to assist.

Model 082 Corner Wrap Side/Trailing Panel

Some applications call for the label to be applied on the side and trailing panel corner when the box cannot be stopped. The Model 071 straight tamp is used to apply the side panel first. After the label is initially applied, a secondary roller installed on an air cylinder will stoke in at an angle approximately 45 degrees to the box flow. This roller wipes the label down on the trailing panel. What factors are used to determine which type is best?

Roll form requirements of the label

Required orientation of the labeling head

Size of label to application area. For products that offer minimal clearance, the tamp style is better.

Two Stage Tamp Type (Model 081/Model 084)

This type of corner wrap applicator requires the product to be momentarily stopped at the application point. The label is fully dispensed away from the web backing and held on to the two pads by vacuum. Each pad is mounted to its own air cylinder. One cylinder is longer than the other. During the application sequence, both tamps extend to the product together. Contact is first made by the short stroke cylinder to the side of the product. The long stroke cylinder continues wiping the remainder of the label to the leading (or trailing panel) of the product. The Model 081 utilizes a venturi type vacuum for labels up to 6"(f) x 4"(w) and the Model 084 utilizes a hi volume vacuum for labels up to 12"(f) x 5"(w).

Advantages:

Can better adjust for skew associated with irregular products

Can be 1/2" or higher above conveyor belt

Can reach further over conveyor to apply label (though may limit speed)

Design provides for "tight wrap" effect around the corner

Can do leading, trailing, or opposing corner wraps

Fixed distance is not as critical

Two Stage Tamp Type (Model 083)

The label is fully dispensed away from the backing web and held on the pad by vacuum. A secondary wipe down roller is also mounted to the cylinder. During the application sequence, both the tamp and roller extend to the product together. Contact is first made by the tamp to the top or side of the product. The tamp pad compresses causing the roller to continue and wipe the remainder of the label.
