Makro Labelling’s self-adhesive labelling units, including the patented MAK AHS2 module, were created to meet the need to increase the performance of existing machines in terms of speed and precision and represent a real revolution in the labelling sector.

Thanks to the unique paper delivery system, patented by the company, which doubles the distance covered by the label in the acceleration ramp, the MAK ASH2 guarantees a linear speed of 100 meters per minute with label pitches of 20 mm.

To reduce the force that the pulling motor has to deal with, label roll motorisation has also been added which uses a rubber-coated roller to directly pull the paper: this solution is essential for obtaining excellent motor speed stability during production and maintaining full stability of the mechanics and the labelling process as a whole.

The new range is completed with the SLIM stations (70 and 100 m/min), which have the main feature of a very small footprint with high performance, thus the possibility of having several label applications on one machine.

Features

• 10” touch screen to control and regulate the labeller.
• 18” touch screen to control and regulate the labeller with built-in quality control.
• Easy label reel change over.
• Bottle change without tooling.
• Vision Control: a quality control system enabling the precision of the pack to be verified and faulty containers to be rejected.
• Feedscrew motorised and controlled by a brushless motor with the function of the container infeed gate lock device with torque control.

The Innovations

In common with the entire Makro range with the Vision Control system to verify the quality and correctness of the packaging and manage rejects: two new inspection systems - RAPTOR (Rapide to Orientate) and ALICE (Advanced Label Inspection and Control Environment), which guarantee high performance, less production rejects and the highest finished product quality.
