The POLAR LabelSystem DCC-12 is specifically engineered for the efficient in-line production of banded die-cut labels crafted from compressible materials like OPP foils for in-mold applications. Featuring a cutting-edge industrial control system, this system ensures seamless remote maintenance, diagnostics, and seamless integration into digital workflows, guaranteeing future adaptability.
With a notable performance boost, the new DCC-12 boasts significant enhancements across its components, resulting in a remarkable 25% surge in productivity. Capable of achieving an impressive output of 10 cycles per minute, it sets a new standard for label production efficiency.
Here’s how the workflow unfolds:
Initially, a high-speed cutter from POLAR slices the label material into strips, either in-line or off-line. These strips are then transformed into label stacks by the automatic cutting machine, the POLAR Autocut 25 PLUS. A pusher device then transports these stacks to the System Die-Cutter DCC, operating on a counter-pressure principle, where they are shaped as intended. Following the die-cutting process, the label stacks are automatically directed into the banding unit for seamless banding.
Description
The POLAR LabelSystem DCC-12 is tailored for the highly automated in-line production of banded die-cut labels crafted from compressible materials like OPP foils for in-mold applications. Equipped with a future-proof industrial control system, it facilitates remote maintenance, diagnostics, and seamless integration into digital workflows. Following a substantial performance boost, the new DCC-12 showcases enhancements across its components, culminating in a remarkable 25% surge in productivity. With an output of 10 cycles per minute, the new DCC-12 sets a new benchmark for label production efficiency.
Here’s the workflow breakdown:
- Strips are transported to the loading table of the AC Autocut 25 PLUS, where they undergo cutting into label stacks.
- A pusher device then transfers these stacks to the System Die-Cutter DCC, operating on a counter-pressure principle, where the stack receives its intended shape.
- Following the die-cutting process, the label stacks are automatically directed to the Single-Station Bander BD, where they undergo banding.
