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

The HZ-100 horizontal heat shrink sleeve labeling system (shown here with optional hopper system) is designed to sleeve small diameter, unstable products that do not lend themselves to vertical heat shrink sleeving at speeds up to 90 containers per minute. It can handle product container widths from 5/16" to 1-5/8" and sleeve layflats up to 50 mm. The HZ-100 system includes an integrated tamper band/sleeve applicator with a shrink tunnel on a stainless steel monobloc frame. This frame includes the applicator, heat tunnel, and 12" roller conveyor, among other standard features. The roller conveyor ensures continuous product rotation inside the heat tunnel, enhancing shrink quality. Additionally, the HZ-100 features static reduction, after-tamp sleeve centering, a compact heat tunnel, and a discharge ramp.

The guillotine knife cutting system provides precise and clean cuts with easy maintenance. For quick changeovers, the recipe functionality offers push-button settings. The bilingual HMI (English, Spanish, Portuguese) facilitates ease of operation. Dual applicator heads enable production speeds up to 120 cpm. The print registration system, with a fiber optic sensor, ensures sleeve length accuracy. An inspection and rejection system detects sleeve presence and rejects containers without sleeves. The system also supports vertical, horizontal, and T perforations for ease of opening.
