Applicators
LSI offers over 30 standard and custom applicators that can be configured with any of LSI's labeling heads to deliver repeatable label placement accuracy.
Wipe-On/Roll-On
LSI offers different wipe-on and roll-on type label applicators. These wipe-on or roll-on type applicators are ideal for applications where the product may have an irregular surface or a recessed area. An effective wipe-on / roll-on application is when the conveyor speed and the label web speed are consistent with one another. The roller or brush is then used to wipe-on the proper label.
LSI offers the Model 020 Roll-On Applicator, Model 021 Roll-On Applicator, and the Model 010 Wipe-On Applicator.
Air Cylinder Tamp
The air cylinder tamp applicators offered from LSI are accurate, easy to set up, and one of the commonly used methods of applying a label to your product. Air is used to assist in transferring the label on to a tamp pad and through the use of a vacuum generator, the label is held on to the tamp pad before it is applied to the product.
Check out the many models of air cylinder tamps offered by LSI to get the best performing applicator for your business. Please contact a representative from LSI if you have any questions on any of the label applicators offered.
Corner Wrap
Corner wrap applicators from LSI are used to apply labels on to the adjacent panels of a product. As the product approaches, the label is applied to the front of the panel, then swings around the corner and wipes the remaining portion of the label on to the adjacent side. Models are available that allow for front to side labeling and even trailing to side panel labeling.
The models of corner wrap label applicators that LSI has to offer are the Model 080 Corner Applicator, Model 081 / Model 084 Two Stage Tamp Type Applicator, Model 082 Side/Trailing Panel Applicator, Model 083 Two State Tamp Type Applicator.
Blow-On
LSI's blow-on label applicators are designed for non-contact applications in which a burst of high pressured air is used to apply the label to the product. The blow-on applicators can apply labels at a higher rate of speed with no change of parts needed for labels up to 4 3/4 x 4 3/4" in size.
The blow-on label applicators from LSI are the Model 051 Single Label Applicator and the Model 050 / Model 053 Universal Applicators.
Leading / Trailing Swing Arm
The leading / trailing swing arm applicators from LSI are designed to apply labels to cartons or pallets that are moving or stationary and to either the leading or trailing panel as well as the side panel. The PLC controls on the swing arm applicator allow for selection of either a two panel or single panel application. This allows the applicators to be flexible and versatile in the way your products are labeled.
LSI offers the Model 073/073V Panel Label Applicator and the Model 074/074V Panel Label Applicator.
Vacuum Grid Wipe-on
The vacuum grid label applicators are similar to a traditional wipe-on / roll-on style of applicator in that a vacuum grid plate is used to hold the label prior to the application of the label onto the product. The vacuum grid label applicator also eliminated the need to match the labeler dispense speed and the product speed as the applicator can handle applications where the product speed exceeds the dispense speed of the labeling head.
The two models of vacuum grid wipe-on applicators that LSI offers are the Model 030/031 Active Type Air Cylinder Driven Applicator and the Model 025/026 Passive Type Spring Loaded Applicator.
