ALbelt E

ALbelt E is configured around a robust open base structure, integrating our workhorse ALstep labelling head ('s) in 100mm' S' or 200mm 'M' formats, and rubberised belt conveyor, supplemented (where required) with a basic top stabilisation/holding belt to secure the product through the labelling position.

The further option of a side belt pre-aligner is available for slightly elliptical/oval-shaped products - products which cannot be consistently orientated with simple guides is also available.

This alignment system works by removing what is commonly known as 'guide slack'; where a product can still be twisted between a set of guides even with them positioned tightly on its sides. Our side belt alignment module works to minimise this inaccuracy by consistently turning these products within the guides to the same angle position.

Once orientated, there is then a transfer point, where the product is momentarily held by the drive of both the side belt and the upper stabiliser belt, which will then maintain the position of the product to the labelling head, resulting in a consistent, accurate label application.

The inherent properties of a belt conveyor mean ALbelt E is only suitable for lighter products - and is not recommended where there is a potential for product spillage on the conveyor if this is likely to contaminate the belt (for this type of application see: ALline E inline labelling systems; e.g. inline with a filling system).

ALbelt E is therefore generally recommended for standalone use, fed manually by an operator at a typical throughput of 40-50 per minute depending on the product, and often configured with return conveyors or rotary outfeed tables (depending on the product) for single operator operation.
