These include the carou- sel, infeed and discharge stars, folding doors, installation and format parts and guides, and on the cold glue station the gripper cylinder and label magazine. The Innoket Neo servo feed screw has also been applied and integrated here, permitting gentle bottle stops. Plenty of upwards scope The KHS development also pro- vides many different opportunities for extension to cater for individual label- ling tasks. It is possible, for example, to equip the Innoket Roland 40 with the KHS Vari- oDrive electronic bottle plate control system. Other options include mechanical alignment by side notch in the infeed star and the fitting of travel- ling applicators, the latter used for cap or lid labels. U-shaped labels – as tamper evident seals for twist-off caps, for instance – can also be labelled and rolled on. Optional sen- sors check for the presence of labels at certain points, for example in the label magazine or on the glueing roller, and for other factors such as broken bottles. With its many expansion options the KHS Innoket Roland 40 is thus suited to cater for all requirements in the low capacity range, says the company. www.khs.com Cornelius Adolf, Product Manager Labelling at KHS
