Support Machines for Labeling

Sleeve Seal labeling support machines are designed to complement shrink sleeve labeling systems by helping maintain continuous production, improve sleeve handling, and achieve consistent shrink results. From label accumulation and automatic roll splicing to controlled steam shrinking, these machines support critical stages before, during, and after sleeve application.

Our support equipment can be integrated with Sleeve Seal labeling systems to address different production speeds and packaging requirements. The lineup includes accumulation equipment for efficient roll changes, auto splicers for uninterrupted label supply, and steam shrink tunnels available in multiple lengths to accommodate varying line speeds and container configurations.

Key Features of Our Labeling Support Machines

  • Continuous Label Application – MRS Series auto splicers automatically transition from a near-empty roll to a fresh roll while label application continues.
  • Label Material Accumulation – The SSA-B1 holds a reserve of sleeve material, allowing operators to change label rolls without interrupting production.
  • Controlled Steam Shrinking – SST Series tunnels use steam and external controls to provide efficient, controllable shrink labeling.
  • Multiple Tunnel Lengths – SST Series models are available in different lengths to accommodate varying production speeds and shrink requirements.
  • Operator-Friendly Designs – Front-loading auto splicers, straightforward accumulator construction, and tool-free tunnel adjustments support convenient operation and changeovers.

Applications for Support Machines

Sleeve Seal support machines are used to support shrink sleeve labeling operations such as:

Label material accumulation

Continuous label application

Label roll changes

Steam shrink labeling

High-speed labeling systems

Lower-speed labeling systems

Benefits of Choosing Our Support Machines

Reduced Production Downtime

Label accumulators and auto splicers help maintain the supply of sleeve material during roll changes so production can continue without unnecessary stops.

Continuous Label Supply

MRS-6 and MRS-2 Auto Splicers allow operators to load fresh rolls while the equipment remains in operation.

Consistent Shrink Labeling

SST Series steam tunnels provide controllable heat to help sleeve labels conform properly around containers.

Support for Different Production Speeds

Multiple SST Series tunnel lengths make it possible to match the shrink process to different line speeds and dwell-time requirements.

Convenient Operation

Simple equipment designs and front-loading auto splicers make label handling and reloading easier for operators during production.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to frequently asked questions about shrink sleeve support equipment, material handling, and the final shrinking process.

Label accumulators, auto splicers, and shrink tunnels support different stages of shrink sleeve labeling, from material handling to the final shrinking process.

Label accumulators hold a reserve of sleeve material, while auto splicers allow operators to load a fresh roll without stopping production.

Yes. After the sleeve is applied, a shrink tunnel uses controlled heat to conform the label around the container.

The right shrink tunnel depends on production speed and container shape. SST Series tunnels are available in different lengths to accommodate different production requirements.

An auto splicer connects a fresh roll of label material to the outgoing roll, allowing continuous label application without stopping production.
