Sidel supplies 5,000th labeller

With its latest delivery to the Ting Hsin International Group, Sidel has reached a major new milestone of 5,000 labellers sold worldwide. The Chinese company has one of the largest installed bases of Sidel labellers in the world and has once again opted for the Parma-based company’s solutions with the installation of EvoDECO, an innovative system designed to offer greater flexibility, modularity and cost effectiveness.

The EvoDECO platform can provide multiple labelling applications in a multi-technology machine or a single labelling application for optimised uptime and lower total cost of ownership (TCO). The labeller design is also simplified, with greater attention to ergonomics for more user-friendly operation and reduced maintenance.

As the new addition to Ting Hsin’s labeller family, the EvoDECO Roll-Fed is equipped with additional functions not previously available such as the automatic vacuum drum cleaning system and automatic label removal, both of which ensure maximum uptime. Based on a common core and optimised design, the labeller allows for the delivery of different SKUs.

Sidel and Ting Hsin enjoy longstanding cooperation dating back to 2005 when the first 20 labellers for water lines were installed. Ting Hsin is one of the leading beverage players in China and one of the top two carbonated soft drink manufacturers in the country with a market share of around 30%. One of its best-known brands is Master Kong, which leads the ready-to-drink (RTD) tea segment in China with a 46% market share in volume.
