LabelOn™ Basic Round Bottle Labeling Showing Spacer Wheel
http://www.label-on.com/
This video shows the LabelOn™ Basic 500 machine with a Spacer Wheel. The Spacer Wheel turns with a slower surface speed than the Main Conveyor. The speed is controlled by a variable speed dial enabling the operator to vary the speed of the spacer wheel. Friction of the spacer wheel against the passing bottles results in even spaced products passing through the label applicator. In the case of round bottle labelling, the self adhesive label can often be longer than the products diameter. This means it is important to insure a space between round bottles to prevent a single dispensed sticky label applying itself onto more than one bottle.
this simple method of spacing bottles is effective for most bottles though large backlog pressure of incoming bottles may not be suitable for this form of bottle spacing.
