Alex was challenged by one of the team to see who could do a better job labelling plastic bottles.
The Task:
Apply front and back labels to 15 x 250ml plastic bottles. Obviously speed is important so we were looking to see who was fastest but also the quality of the label application. We were looking for consistency of application in terms of height, straightness, bubbles and so on.
Let’s meet the Afinia A200 Label Applicator –
The Afinia A200 is a semi automatic label applicator designed to improve speed and quality of your label application. Semi automatic means that you still need to load / unload and press either a button or foot switch to apply the label but the saving between this and fully automated is thousands of pounds.
Key Features of the Afinia A200 –
- Single or double label application
- Applies labels to jars, tubs, bottles, tins, cans etc
- Apply up to 600 labels per hour
- Simple one button control. Use either the foot peddle or red button on the machine to apply
- Works with small to medium products ranging from 1″ to 6.3″ (25-160mm) in diameter.
