HZ-100 - Horizontal Shrink Sleeve Labeling On Personal Care Products

This video features the HZ‑100 horizontal shrink sleeve labeling system, designed for small‑diameter, unstable products that do not lend themselves to vertical heat shrink sleeving. Using a horizontal hopper system, the HZ‑100 delivers accurate sleeve and tamper‑evident band application at speeds up to 90 containers per minute.

The system handles product container widths ranging from 5/16 inch to 1‑5/8 inches and supports sleeve layflat widths up to 50 mm. An integrated tamper band and sleeve applicator is mounted on a stainless steel monobloc frame along with a compact heat tunnel and roller conveyor. The roller conveyor ensures continuous product rotation inside the heat tunnel, improving shrink uniformity and overall sleeve quality.

Additional features include static reduction, after‑tamp sleeve centering, a compact heat tunnel design, and a discharge ramp for efficient downstream transfer. The guillotine knife cutting system provides precise, clean sleeve cuts with simplified maintenance.

For fast and repeatable changeovers, the HZ‑100 includes recipe functionality with push‑button settings. Dual applicator heads enable production speeds of up to 120 containers per minute in appropriate configurations. A fiber‑optic print registration system ensures accurate sleeve length control, while the inspection and rejection system detects sleeve presence and rejects containers without sleeves. Multiple perforation options are supported, including vertical, horizontal, and T‑style perforations, to facilitate easy opening.

The HZ‑100 is well suited for personal care products such as lipsticks, eyeliners, mascaras, lip balms, and other small cylindrical containers requiring precise, horizontal shrink sleeve or tamper‑evident band application.

FAQs

What types of products is the HZ‑100 designed for?
The HZ‑100 is designed for small‑diameter, unstable products that cannot be reliably handled in vertical orientation, such as personal care and cosmetic items.

What speeds can the HZ‑100 achieve?
The system operates at speeds up to 90 containers per minute, with dual applicator head configurations reaching up to 120 containers per minute.

What container sizes can the HZ‑100 handle?
The HZ‑100 handles container widths from 5/16 inch to 1‑5/8 inches and sleeve layflat widths up to 50 mm.

What type of heat tunnel is included?
The system includes a compact stainless steel heat tunnel integrated with the applicator and roller conveyor.

How does the system ensure accurate sleeve application?
Accuracy is ensured through a fiber‑optic print registration system, roller conveyor rotation, after‑tamp centering, and an inspection and rejection system.

Does the HZ‑100 support perforated sleeves?
Yes. The system supports vertical, horizontal, and T‑style perforations for easy‑open functionality.
