Krones has developed a labeller capable of handling a broad sweep of different labelling operations at speeds of up to 72,000 containers an hour.
The new DecoBloc features a Sleevematic carousel, a Shrinkmat tunnel and a Linadry unit for predrying containers.
By putting this equipment together, Krones said a system can be created that can cope with all dress variants and therefore offer increased flexibility to beverage manufacturers.
Krones said that DecoBloc can handle cold-glue, pressure-sensitive, hotmelt or shrink and stretch sleeves – it claims that all these labelling processes can be speedily performed.
Different machine sizes are available, offering output speeds of up to 72,000 containers an hour. And regarding changeover, Krones claims a product change can be made swiftly, at the touch of a button, thanks in part to docking stations that feature motorised height adjustment.
In line with the flexibility theme, for sleeving applications there is a choice between shrink-sleeve labels with a downstream Shrinkmat tunnel or stretch-sleeve labelling.
