SLX High Speed Shrink Sleeve Label Applicators

Request More Information ›

SLX Series shrink sleeve label applicators are the high-speed, high performance models in Axon's complete line of shrink sleeve systems. SLX applicators provide dependable, steady-state production speeds up to 800 containers per minute.

SLX sleeve applicators are mandrel style machines that use servo motion control to deliver consistent, repeatable performance. Container changeovers are tool-less and require less than ten minutes depending on product sizes and shapes.

Dual segment feedscrews with independent servo control of each segment provide smooth and flexible container handling.

When equipped with the optional thin gauge film handling system SLX applicators are capable of running the thinnest films available in the industry with no reduction in speed or efficiency.

Like every Axon shrink sleeve applicator, the SLX offers the flexibility to perform multiple important shrink applications:

  • Tamper evident bands
  • Partial body sleeves
  • Full body sleeves
  • Full body over-the-cap sleeves

This flexibility makes Axon shrink sleeve applicators one of the best values in the industry.
