POLAR LabelSystem SC 20 teaser

The core element of LabelSystem SC-20 is the POLAR 137 Autotrim M automatic cutter, designed to efficiently produce square-cut labels. With its capability to cut both strips and labels, the Autotrim M eliminates the need for a separate strip cutter or feeder table. The label material must be available in the form of a jogged ream.

Here’s how the workflow operates: The material can be fed either manually through the front table or automatically through the rear table. Initially, the operator cuts the material into strips. These strips are then positioned and laterally aligned on the rear table of the automatic cutter before being cut into individual labels. Once the labels are cut, they are arranged on the front table. A deloading device then transfers them to the BM-105 multi-station bander. Subsequently, the row pusher moves the entire row of labeled packs to the banding device. Finally, the fully banded packs are transferred to the delivery table, where they can be manually retrieved for packaging.

Description

LabelSystem SC-20’s primary component is the POLAR 137 Autotrim M automatic cutter, proficient in producing square-cut labels with efficiency. Given the Autotrim M’s capacity to handle both strips and labels, there’s no need for a separate strip cutter or feeder table. However, label material must be in the form of a jogged ream.

Workflow: Material can be fed manually via the front table or automatically via the rear table. Initially, the operator cuts the material into strips. These strips are then positioned within the automatic cutter, laterally aligned on the rear table before cutting into individual labels.

Once the labels are cut, they’re arranged on the front table. A deloading device then transfers them to the BM-105 multi-station bander. Subsequently, the row pusher transports the complete label row to the banding device. Finally, the fully banded packs are moved onto the delivery table for manual retrieval and packaging.
