Automated Machinery For Applying Shrink Sleeve Labels To Food and Beverage Products
In the competitive landscape of food and beverage packaging, the presentation of your product plays a pivotal role in capturing the consumer’s attention. Applying shrink sleeve labels and tamper-proof neck banding not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of products but also ensures their integrity and safety. This is where the cutting-edge ASL-300 from AMAC Technologies, designed for commercial packaging of consumer products including food and beverages, stands out in the realm of automated shrink sleeve labelers.
The Importance of Applying Shrink Sleeve Labels and Tamper Proof Neck Banding to Food and Beverage Products
Shrink sleeve labels and tamper-proof neck banding offer a dual advantage of securing the product while maximizing the surface area for branding and information. With the increasing demand for product safety and vibrant, full-bodied designs, it’s crucial for food and beverage packagers to adopt solutions that meet these needs efficiently and cost-effectively.
- Security: Tamper-evident features assure consumers of the product’s safety, which is paramount in food and beverage products.
- Branding: Full-body shrink sleeve labels offer 360-degree coverage for brand visibility, enabling designs to stand out on crowded shelves.
- Durability: Shrink sleeve labels are highly resistant to moisture and abrasion, ensuring the product branding remains intact even under harsh storage or transportation conditions.
- Flexibility: They can conform to any container shape, providing a seamless application process for a variety of packaging designs, from simple bottles to intricate containers, thereby offering versatility in packaging options.
How Do Shrink Sleeve Machines Work?
The ASL-300 by AMAC Technologies epitomizes the pinnacle of shrink sleeve technology. At the heart of this system are strong servo motors controlled by a precision PLC (Programmable Logic Controller), encased in a robust stainless steel structure. The cantilever design of mandrels facilitates quick change-over for various product sizes, enhancing production flexibility and efficiency. Here’s the simplified process:
- Sleeve Application: The machine carefully cuts and applies the shrink sleeve label to the container.
- Heating: The labeled product then moves through a heat tunnel, where the sleeve shrinks snugly around the container.
This automated system can handle speeds up to 300 bottles per minute (bpm), ensuring high throughput for businesses of all sizes.
What Types of Products Are Packaged With Heat Shrink Labeling Technology
The versatility of the ASL-300 allows it to handle a broad range of container shapes and materials, from round, oval, oblong to even square containers made of plastic, glass, tin, or aluminum. This includes:
- Bottled beverages
- Food containers
- Cosmetic and personal care items
- Two-for-one promo packs
- Containers requiring tamper-evident seals
Benefits of Automated Shrink Labeling For Manufacturers
Automating the process of applying shrink sleeve labels brings numerous benefits to manufacturers, including:
- Reduced Labor Costs: Minimizes the need for manual labor in the packaging process.
- Increased Production Speed: High-speed application capabilities greatly enhance throughput.
- Versatility: Quick change-over mandrel design allows for easy switching between different product types and sizes.
- Durability: Stainless steel construction ensures longevity and reliability of the machinery.
