C-wrap label for tubs

This high tech solution was developed by Altech (Bareggio, MI) for a company specialized in the production of fresh products.

The ALbelt system performs C-wrap labelling which wraps a label around the top and bottom of the tub, a choice used in packaging fresh salads where the label also functions as a seal. Also equipped with a lower head, this allows two labels to be applied, one to the top and one to the bottom.
System performance reaches 70 products per minute.
The system is configured as follows:
- dual-section ALbelt equipped with synchronised belts to hold the product sides during the labelling phase;
- ALritma labelling head, which places the label in front of the product and then applies it;
- use of “flag” function (available on the ALritma control panel) which allows the label to be dispensed in two stages in order to optimise the pre-dispensing of the front part of the label by taking advantage of the space between products.
