Support Machines for Labeling

SSA-B1 Accumulation Cabinet

The SSA-B1 is a newly designed bin-style label accumulator that is a perfect companion for our lower speed labeling systems.

The simple bin design allows for changing to a fresh roll of labels without production interruption. The design is mechanically straightforward and safe to operate.

SST Series Shrink Tunnels

Sleeve Seal Steam Shrink Tunnels use steam for efficient, controllable shrink labeling and are available in a range of lengths to match production speed – M1S, M2S, M3S or M4S.

With their user-friendly design, broad range of controls, and robust safety features, our shrink tunnels are the ideal choice for achieving high-quality shrink labeling.

MRS–6 Auto Splicer for Continuous Label Application

The MRS-6 Auto Splicer offers uninterrupted, continuous label application even at the highest speeds.

The front-loading design allows the labeler to be safely and conveniently loaded by the operator while the machine is in full operation.

MRS-2 Auto Splicer

 

Think of the MRS-2 Auto Splicer as the MRS-6's little brother, still offering uninterrupted, continuous label application even at the highest speeds at a smaller size.

The front-loading design allows operators to safely reload the labeler without interrupting production.

FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about shrink sleeve machinery, labeling technology, and product packaging solutions.

To maintain continuous operation, high-speed shrink sleeve equipment requires a constant feed of material. An auto splicer, like our MRS-6 or MRS-2, allows operators to load a new roll of labels while the machine is running, automatically splicing the new roll to the end of the old one. When paired with the SSA-B1 Bin Accumulator—which holds a reserve of the sleeve label material—you can change rolls without ever stopping your shrink sleeve labeler, maximizing your daily throughput.

The choice of shrink tunnel depends on your line speed and the complexity of your container's shape. Our SST Series steam tunnels come in various lengths (M1S through M4S) to provide enough dwell time for a perfect shrink at different speeds. Whether you are using a high-speed sleever or a smaller tamper evident labeler, matching the tunnel length to your production requirements ensures the sleeve label conforms perfectly to the container without wrinkles or graphic distortion.

Steam is frequently the preferred choice for a shrink sleeve machine because it provides a more uniform and gentle heat transfer compared to radiant electric heat. This is especially important for high-quality sleeve label applications on contoured bottles, as steam allows for more precise control. Our SST Series steam tunnels are a critical part of our shrink sleeve equipment lineup, offering the efficiency and controllability needed to achieve a "paint-on" look for your branded packaging.
