EAS-2 Labeler

EAS-2 Labeller

Overview

A convolute label is glued to a spiral-wound tube of approx. one meter in length with the labelling machine; the labelled tube is then cut to the finished length of the can body.

For machine type EAS-2, glue application is carried out on the label using a drum.

Process

Tube is pushed onto mandrel by means of mechanically operated pusher.
A pivoting suction rail takes the labels from the stack and transfers them to a continuously rotating cylinder for gluing.
From a double-roller gluing system the label sheets receive a full surface gluing.
Glued label is rolled under tension onto the raw tube, free of wrinkles or bubbles.
Dividing of tubes with high quality by mechanical dividing knives with air cushion.
The finished tubes are mechanically stripped-off the mandrel. The trim rings are removed by a sucking device (optional).

Design and Function

Machine for the precise labelling and distribution of prefabricated cylindrical raw tubes made of paper for the manufacturing of composite cans.

  • raw tubes are fed from a single knife cutter to the EAS-2 via conveyor, hopper and elevator
  • extremely rigid four-station indexing turret with precision mandrels

Label feeding and gluing

 

  • feeding of labels in sheet form
  • machine is equipped with two label stacking tables, one of which can be used for refilling
  • thus a very fast stacking of labels is possible (short production interrupt times)
  • circumferential speed of the tube can be regulated continuously during labelling
  • continuous control of the label during transport from the stack to the labelling (no change in position)
  • accurate labelling
  • mechanical stripping of the finished tubes from the spindle
  • automatic suction device for waste rings (optional)
