One of the biggest complaints about traditional roll-fed labellers is downtime associated with the frequent cleaning of the vacuum drum that transfers labels after they are cut. In traditional rollfed labellers, glue can accumulate on the drum and in the vacuum holes. Eventually, the machine must be taken out of operation and cleaned. Additionally, the label cutting area of traditional roll-fed labellers presents inherent challenges for maintenance personnel. Typically, the setup time for the cutting blades is long and expertise is required to optimally set them up. With Simpl-Cut, PE Labellers offers a solution to solve these problems. One special feature of the Simpl-Cut system is the simplicity of the cutting system itself. Unlike traditional roll-fed labellers that use contrasting blades to cut the label, SimplCut uses fixed blades on a rotating drum to cut the label. The fixed blades are contained in a cartridge which can be changed out and ready to run in less than ten seconds. In the Simpl-Cut process, hot-melt glue is applied prior to the cutting of the label, virtually eliminating glue buildup on the drum. In traditional roll-fed labellers, glue is applied after the label is cut, leading to glue buildup on the drum which has to be cleaned often by maintenance staff. For the labelling process, only one drum is needed to transfer and cut the label, whereas traditional rollfed labellers require two separate drums for each function. This feature is intended to reduce maintenance, to improve uptime, and to allow for faster format changes. www.pelabellers.com The PRSE exhibition, conference and awards are the annual focal point of the plastics recycling industry in Europe PRSE 2022 will return to the Rai, Amsterdam on 22-23 June 2022 Register today for your FREE entry badge www.prseventeurope.com Follow PRSE on social media: l linkedin.com/company/plastics-recycling-show-europe/ T twitter.com/PRS_Europe f facebook.com/PlasticsRecyclingShowEurope 22-23 June 2022 RAI, Amsterdam Platinum Sponsor Awards Platinum Sponsors: Silver Sponsors Organised by
