Wipe-On / Roll-On Label Applicators

LSI offers different wipe-on label applicators and roll-on label applicators. These label 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.

Wipe-On / Roll-On Label Applicator Product Examples:

Roll-On Label Applicator - Model 020:
The roller, made of foam or rubber, is spring loaded and mounted just ahead of the peeler bar. The limitations of the roll-on applicator are that the label must feed in the direction of product travel and the surface is usually flat or with a slight oval. The key to a successful roll-on application is that either the web speed must match the speed of the product or the product speed must match the speed of the label web.

Roll-On Label Applicator - Model 021:
This roll-on label applicator is the Model 021 and the roller is made of foam or rubber. The roll-on applicator is mounted just ahead of the peeler bar and is sprint loaded. The roll-on applicator must feed the label in the direction of the product and the surface is flat or a slight oval.

Roll-On Label Applicator - Model 010:
The wipe-on application method utilizes the same principles of the roll-on applicator with the exception that a brush or wipe assembly replaces the roller. A wipe-on applicator is usually selected with products that have high and low areas in the label placement area (ex. recessed panel) or products that are irregular in shape.
