Food

Labelling has a particularly important function in the food industry. The label should not only gain a high level of attention at the POS, but also the functional properties of a DMC containing customer information messages or best before dates have to be handled by the labeller.

In addition to high-speed performance, production lines are also striving for ever higher efficiency criteria.

Langguth provides a lot of answers for the food industry with its versatile portfolio and offers all three labelling technologies as well as the inline and rotary machines in this sector.

• Wet glue labellingFrom stand-alone to high-speed requirements: As a whole 4 magazine types are available which can be used for labelling. Cut and stack labels are processed by first separating them, then glueing them and finally applying them to the containers.
• Hotmelt labellingSpeeds of up to 1000 CPM can be achieved on both the linear and rotary machines. Langguth uses its self-developed spin-spray process as initial glueing method to pull the paper or film labels out of the magazine. The label is wrapped completely around the container and sealed at the end with a hotmelt strip at the overlap.
• Self-adhesive labellingAdhesive or so-called self-adhesive labels are processed as roll material in the labelling machines. The separator plate separates the individual label (film or paper) from the carrier paper so that it can then be applied to the container. The high-quality labelling heads can handle both complex labelling tasks and high speeds.
