High performance for decorative labels

The dressing of glass soft drink or mineral water bottles is still a matter to consider for market introductions, even if plastic bottles are gaining market shares. The dresses range from reel-fed cold-glue wrap-around or precut labels to transparent, pressure-sensitive labels in the no-label-look. Depending on the product range involved, a large variety of bottle shapes and sizes for distinguishing the products needs to be considered as well. For beverage plants that fill glass bottles as well as plastic containers, Krones´ modularised machine technology is the right solution:

The benefits of the modular machines at a glance:

• Flexibility
  If the labelling process is changed frequently, the suitable labelling stations can be coupled to the machine. A second machine is not needed. Particularly if replacement investments are planned, the addition of other processes to the current labelling method should be considered.
• Smaller size
  Labelling stations that are not needed are simply disconnected.
• Accessibility
  Disconnection of the labelling stations facilitates maintenance work at the container table.
• Servodrive technology
  Easy change of the labelling method becomes reality.
