LABEL APPLICATORS

Altech ALritma

Introduced in the year 2000, the ALritma labeling head series has been immediately appreciated for its reliability and user-friendly features. Due to ongoing technical development and a base of more than 20.000 units installed in the market, the latest version of the ALritma series includes cutting edge technology and represents the precise choice for packaging lines where production speed and label application accuracy are primary needs.

PRODUCT FEATURES

ALritma labeling units are based on an innovative mechanical structure which matches great sturdiness with versatility. The maximum label width varies according to the model and can be 100, 200 or 300 millimeters; all models have side access for web threading; a reel holder which has a diameter of 300 mm with an expanding locking spindle; the drive group has been designed to exploit the stepper motor features, guaranteeing accurate label positioning at speeds up to 50 m/min.

The body of the label applicator is remote from the electronic controls. Those are located in a separated control box with a compact and hygienic design. The unit can be placed and oriented in different ways, to provide comfortable access to the operator in any installation configuration. Thanks to the latest generation of “cool” electronic components that do not require the use of fans, the head can be powered with 110-240 V (auto-switching), and offers IP55 protection for both the head’s body and the control box.

The applicator is controlled by a powerful microprocessor, with a 4.3” color touch screen panel which can manage advanced functions. This relieves the operator of complicated mechanical adjustments saving a
considerable amount of time during format changeovers.
