FAQs about Labeling Machines

Industries including cosmetics, electronics, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and media packaging benefit from Solstice Technologies’ labeling machines. Their systems handle a wide range of flat, curved, and cylindrical products, making them ideal for businesses requiring high-speed, precision labeling for items like SD cards, tubes, cartons, and shrink-wrapped goods.

Solstice Technologies’ labeling machines improve productivity with speeds up to 7,000 pieces per hour and minimal manual handling. Advanced features like PLC touchscreen control, automatic feeders, pneumatic coders, and synchronization chains ensure accurate, bubble-free label placement, reducing errors and maintaining consistent quality across various container types and product formats.

The automatic hopper-fed mechanism feeds memory cards one by one into the labeling system, allowing for continuous, hands-free operation. It aligns each card perfectly before label application, supporting rapid processing with precise placement. This system significantly boosts speed and reduces labor in high-volume memory card labeling tasks.

Solstice’s automatic flat labelers can handle flat surfaces like cartons, cases, pouches, books, folders, memory cards, and small boxes. These systems are ideal for products that require top labeling on even surfaces and are capable of maintaining high speed and precision for both transparent and standard adhesive labels.

The semi-automatic bottle/jar/tube labeler supports cylindrical and rounded containers with diameters between 15 and 120 mm. It’s suited for bottles, jars, vials, and tubes made from various materials. The machine holds the item securely while applying top or wraparound labels with accuracy and minimal user intervention.

The screw-adjustment mechanism allows precise width calibration, securely aligning each product within the machine’s conveyor. This minimizes shifting or vibration during labeling, ensuring high accuracy and clean application. It’s especially useful for lightweight or narrow items that could otherwise move or tilt during automated label placement.

The synchronization chain keeps products equally spaced and aligned as they move along the conveyor. This coordination ensures consistent label positioning, especially important for high-speed operations. It maintains timing between the product and the label applicator, reducing misalignment and enhancing visual presentation and barcode scannability.

The pneumatic coding system is highly effective for printing batch numbers, production codes, and expiry dates directly onto labels before application. Integrated with automatic labelers, it provides reliable, clear printing without slowing down throughput, making it ideal for pharmaceutical, food, and regulated industries requiring traceability.

Label positioning on the semi-automatic bottle/jar/tube labeler is highly precise, with placement accuracy of ±1 mm. The device uses sensors and adjustable rollers to ensure that each label is applied evenly, making it ideal for labeling small batches of cylindrical products with professional, repeatable consistency.

Solstice Technologies’ label dispensers automatically peel labels from the liner using a motorized feeding system. The ECT-37100 model includes a date coder that stamps each label as it dispenses. This streamlines manual labeling by preparing pre-coded labels for immediate use, reducing handling time while maintaining traceability requirements.

Yes, Solstice Technologies’ label dispensers automatically advance the next label after one is peeled. A built-in sensor detects label removal and triggers the motor to feed the following label into position. This automation speeds up manual labeling tasks, especially in semi-industrial setups with high label application frequency.

Solstice Technologies’ label dispensers are designed for single-line manual or semi-automated use. They don’t operate multiple production lines simultaneously, but can be deployed across separate stations. Their compact, standalone design allows for quick setup on various lines, enhancing workflow flexibility in multi-product manufacturing environments.

The label dispensers feature user-friendly electronic controls, including a start/stop system, sensor-based label detection, and motorized feed mechanisms. These controls ensure precise peeling, consistent feed timing, and seamless integration with optional date coding. The setup minimizes training time and streamlines label handling in manual workflows.
