The BH8000S infeed feedscrew and starwheel provide accurate high-speed container control and ensure proper container positioning at the vacuum drum. An ultrasonic web tracking system automatically controls the vertical movement of the label web, holds it at a precise level, and compensates for any changes in label height, ensuring that the label is placed on the Pub Barrel with exceptional accuracy and consistency. Puckers on the trailing edge of the label are eliminated with the Wireless Glue System, an innovation that eliminates the conventional wire post assembly and allows one glue wheel to be used for a wide range container sizes. After the label is applied, the Pub Barrel is conveyed through the individually controlled heat stations of the BH700 Endura Shrink System, where the label is warmed by a continuous flow of hot air, resulting in a smooth, uniform surface. Label changeovers can be accomplished by simply changing label rolls.
Manufacturers maintain a continuous supply of brite cans on the production line.
Short production runs for promotional products, test products, or niche market products can be packaged quickly and affordably. Recent technological advances in roll-fed shrink systems and the growing availability of shrink labeling substrates and adhesives offer processors affordable alternatives to Stretch Sleeve and Shrink Sleeve labeling. Polypropylene labels are easily recycled and do not present the environmental concerns posed by PVC shrink sleeve labels. Processors obtain dynamic, high-resolution graphics with less investment in equipment, materials, and maintenance.
