Label Applicators
There are over 30 standard label applicators and custom label applicators that LSI offers. The line of label applicators that are offered apply pressure sensitive labels to different products by different methods. Any of LSI's label applicator heads are able to deliver repeatable label placement accuracy.
LSI offers different types of label applicators. The label applicator type that you use is based on your product as well as how and where the labels are to be applied to your product.
Wipe-On/Roll-On Label Applicators
LSI offers different wipe-on and roll-on type label applicators. These 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 ensure proper label adhesion.
Air Cylinder Tamp Label Applicators
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 a 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.
Contact an LSI Representative to find out which tamp option is right for your application.
Corner Wrap Label Applicators
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 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.
Blow-On Label Applicators
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.
Leading / Trailing Swing Arm Label Applicators
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.
Vacuum Grid Wipe-On Label Applicators
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 eliminates the need to match the label applicator dispense speed and the product speed as the applicator can handle applications where the product speed exceeds the dispense speed of the labeling head.
