An Automatic Label
Applicator greatly speeds up the process of applying labels to products,
and can play an important role in your tasks. Many automated label applicants
do not require the constant attention of employees, so this frees up resources
for your business and increases overall efficiency for operating your business.
Therefore, serious problems can arise from the breakdown of an Automatic Label Applicator during business operations. To prevent downtime from
occurring, regular maintenance of your Automatic
Label Applicator is a must.
What do you need to know to maintain your Automatic Label Applicator?
Regular Maintenance
How regular should your label applicator be maintained? It
depends on two factors:
Working Environment:
Your work space plays a role in operating your label
applicator. Over time, the atmosphere will have an impact on machinery. A dirty
or wet environment can cause additional wear and tear for your machine.
Frequency of Use:
How often do you operate the Automatic Label Applicator? If the machine is run continuously,
you will need to perform maintenance more often. To determine the type and
frequency of routine maintenance, consult the product manual or discuss the
maintenance requirements of the machine during installation.
Keep It Clean
- Before and after using the label applicator, take time to clean it.
- Repeatedly clean the dirt and dust from the machine.
- Check-up the machine for any adhesive build-up or debris.
- If you get some adhesive build-up, clean it with adhesive remover and then adhere with isopropyl alcohol to remove any residue.
- Always remove any labels stuck on the drive roller immediately.
Additional Tips for Smooth Application
- Keep the label guides marked on the inner side and make sure they are locked in place.
- When adjusting your applicator for width, only adjust the external guide.
- Remove any labels that are stuck on the drive roller immediately.
- When cutting labels, always avoid cutting into the rubber drive roller.
- To avoid wrinkles or bubbles on the label, mix the label speed with the product speed
Avoid Label Sensor Errors
A very common problem among Automatic Label Applicator owners is a differential sensor error.
If this happens to you, check your gap sensor for dust. This is a very frequent
cause of the problem and cleaning the dust from the sensor is a simple fix that
can keep you up and running.
