ALwrap is a sophisticated, yet easy to operate, desktop labelling machine. It uses the same fundamental stepper motor control cards as our high-level labelling machines, and this control allows it to not only complete some applications other desktop machines cannot, but also, where desirable, to directly connect a compatible I/O equipped industrial desktop thermal or even colour printers from…
In this case study, we present an economic reel-to-reel label media unwind-to-rewind system with a top-mounted ALritma labelling head, to allow the placement of a label accurately on a base label. We call this an ‘ALwind’ solution, and this particular machine was built for a leading artisan foods customer selling products in jars, to place ‘awards’ labels (usually, ‘Great…
Pre-mixed cocktails are a relatively new and exciting product in the drinks industry. This impressive ALline labelling machine, recently supplied to our Central London customer, applies L-seal tamper and registered body labels to tapered-shaped glass bottles, typical of the industry, in various size formats. Despite being a challenging application requiring a labelling result expected for a premium product, and…
Sometimes customers have unusual requirements, like this special ALstep tamp machine, where the customer needed to place labels at two height positions (depending on the arriving tote format). But our knowledgeable team are astutely expert at finding reliable and cost-effective solutions when faced with something new, usually via simple adaptation of an already existing modular solution. #Labelling #Labelingmachine #ALTech…
Our demonstration ALfeeder with extended chute and ALritma labelling head is ideal for cards, cartons, and similar flat-even products. It provides an extremely economical offline feed and labelling system with a simple collection bin. On demand, it can also be fitted and seen with a TIJ (thermal inkjet) coding unit. Some examples of the system in operation are shown…
In this interesting vitamins and supplements application, we were tasked to place a body label in rotational registration with the angled cap of the container – and then a further lid label on this angled section of the cap. Most will probably have seen the container in a leading high-street pharmacy business with branches throughout the country. There were…
To start the new year, we are proud to present this multi-functional box feeding solution able to handle all sizes & types of flat boxes, including both crash lock and corrugated outer case boxes. Feeding crash lock boxes is difficult in its own right due to the uneven distribution of mass. Combining this with the possibility of feeding much…
This dual-head ALstep ‘Tamp-Blow’ application solution applies four matching barcodes to totes just after they have been moulded. These barcodes provide the tote with a unique identity for later use in an automated warehouse, and it is imperative all barcodes match. To ensure this, our solution also includes our ALcheck control checking system, which sequence matches the four barcodes…
A big thank you to everyone who visited our stand at this year’s PPMA show! We enjoyed being able to demonstrate the quality of our machines first-hand, even if it can be challenging to show a representative range in such a small space, and received many complimentary comments on the build and features of the machines presented, as well…
Finding a precision, cost-effective desktop solution for challenging shaped oval and elliptical bottles used to be a thankless task! Customers either had to label by hand or invest in large linear machines. ALmatic E is simply clever, using the extremely powerful motion control algorithms of our ALritma labelling head to provide a unique-in-the-market semi-automatic solution for low-volume labelling requirements….
