A compact labelling machine with double throughput

HEUFT TORNADO D

Attaching two different self-adhesive labels with only one single unit, applying several wet, hot glue and self-adhesive labels equally during a single work process, aligning containers with high precision before the actual labelling process: demanding tasks which until now only labelling machines equipped with two container carousels or extremely large labelling machines could accomplish is solved by the compact HEUFT TORNADO D with only one container carrier carousel. The specially developed labelling machine sends each container through two times so that the path necessary for container alignment or labelling is available twice.

FUNCTIONS

• two throughputs for a precise container alignment and labelling
• alternating application of two labels with only one unit
• applying the most different types of label by using additional labelling stations
• bottle burst detection

The following can be integrated

• mould seam detection for a servo-controlled container alignment for utmost precision and cleanliness during the labelling procedure
• label and closure inspection
• barcode, BBD and fill level detection
• internal container pressure measurement
• serial fault detection
• conveyor control system
• rejection of faulty containers or distribution onto different lanes

THE ADVANTAGES

• particularly compact and space-saving machine because the container carousel is used twice
• servo control for a high level of precision during the container alignment
• only one labelling station for applying two different labels
• non-stop operation or application of further labels by using additional units
• fast and simple brand changes
• galvanised steel substructure
• hardwearing and quiet,  hygiene-friendly and easy to maintain construction
• integrated control cabinet for particularly fast installation and commissioning
• integrated future-proof network interface (Industrial Ethernet and TCP / IP)
• remote service connection via the Internet and the SQL / DDE database interface for storing all the production data
