EAS-3 / EAS-4 Labeler - BLEMA Kircheis MAJER

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 types EAS-3 and EAS-4 the label for the tube is fed only via the glue roller and pressed on with rollers.

Process

the tube is pushed onto mandrel by means of mechanically operated pusher.

Using vacuum suction, the labels are automatically destacked, aligned and transferred to the gluing station.

Glue is uniformly applied to the label by means of a roller gluing system.

The glued label is advanced to the raw tube and its leading edge is uniformly pressed on, while the raw tube is simultaneously rotated.

In the next station, the tube is cut into individual equal sections using multiple knives on a rigid bar.

The finished tube segments are mechanically discharged from the mandrel. An automatic sucking device (optional) safely removes the trim rings during this last step.
