In the industrial machinery market we can find different types of labeling machines oriented to the size of production and labeling requirements in the marketing of the product.
Labeling machines can be classified as follows:
- according to the size of the industry by production volume,and
- according to its location in the production plant, inside or outside the line.
Types of labeling machines according to production volume
There are several types of industrial labeling machines adapted to the volume of production, among the most common are:
Manual labelers
They are the simplest and most economical, allowing products to be labeled manually with a labeling gun or a label printer.
The guns are used for very specific functions such as applying prices or expiration dates, and always for small volumes of product.
Label information changes are complex and time-consuming, and always require an operator to handle them.
Label printers allow the printing of customized labels, with the precise information for each product/format, and once printed it must be applied manually on the package.
The manual labeling machine models are designed for small productions, such as handmade products with a low volume of units.
Semi-automatic labelers
These machines apply labels semi-automatically, which means that the operator manually places the products in the machine and the labeler automatically applies the label on the container.
The features of the semi-automatic labelers are summarized as follows:
- Ease of use: they must be easy to use and adjust.
- Versatility: they must be able to label different sizes and shapes of containers.
- Accuracy: they must be able to place the label accurately and consistently.
- Production: adapted to small and medium productions where speed is not critical.
- Price: they are suitable for smaller investments.
At MarCoPack we have a wide range of semi-automatic labeling machines adapted to your production and the type of containers in your industry. Do not hesitate to contact us!
Our most versatile equipment is the MCP 140 for labeling different formats.
Manufactured in stainless steel, it is a semi-automatic equipment with automatic labeling machine features.
Automatic labelers
Automatic labeling machines are fully automatic machines that label products without the need for manual intervention, although they do require supervision.
Its main characteristics are:
- Speed: they must be able to label large quantities of products at high speed.
- Reliability: they must be reliable and capable of operating for long periods of time without downtime.
- Adaptability: they must be able to adapt to different package sizes and shapes.
- Production: they are adapted to medium and large productions where profitability is a priority.
At MarCoPack we are specialists in designing customized automatic labelers for new or existing production lines in your industry. Do not hesitate to contact us!
Automatic labeling machines designed by MARCOPACK
MarCoPack manufactures several models of automatic labeling machines according to your application:
- SET 200: Labeling machine model for medium production cylindrical containers.
- MCP 300T: Labeler line for medium and high productions designed to dispense one or two labels on round MCP 300 T CP and square MCP 300T C containers .
- MCP 400T Series: includes our equipment for dispensing tamper evident seals in bottles, for high production.
-
MCP 600T: Model for labeling above and below trays and for high production.
Types of labeling machines according to their location
The labeling machines can be used as:
- a machine within the production line, or
- installed outside the production line, serving one or more processes.
In-line labeling machine
In the first case, a labeling machine for a production line must be integrated into the automation process of the line as another process of the gear, adapting to the different products of the line and the existing production speed.
Therefore, the machine control system will be integrated into the SCADA or MES system of the line.
MarCoPack designs and manufactures customized labeling machines for integration into a running production line, adapting to existing control systems, or manufactures complete packaging, capping and labeling lines tailored to the industry.Send us the processes to be incorporated and we will design a customized solution!
Off-line labeling machine
For offline labelers, their operation will be customized to service the labeling of one or more products, while maintaining their own control interface, which can be integrated with the company’s ERP or MES.
MarCoPack manufactures labeling machines that offer the versatility of a production plant that packages different product lines and uses a single labeling machine –ask us about our offline labeling machinemodels!
