Benefits

The Daco TD plain-label converting line is ideal for converting labels automatically with little operator input. The machine is equipped with a high capacity 1m (39.37″) unwind to keep master roll changes to a minimum. The 4 spindle turret offers quick change over time, which, coupled with a touch screen HMI operator interface, makes the machine interactive and user-friendly. The machine can be configured with either 1 or 2 servo-driven rotary die stations.

The Daco TD’s SVT turret module utilises a unique patented double-sided tape system for attaching the web to the cores, and the finished rolls are closed using a label printed by an onboard thermal transfer printer. This eliminates the need for expensive and complicated hot melt gluing systems, which often cause problems for both machine operators and end-users. Electronic job storage, intuitive touchscreen control, and minimal mechanical settings make the machine very simple to set up and operate.

The operator can select from either length or a given number of labels per roll, and the machine will then automatically cut and transfer the web to the cores without stopping.

The Daco TD plain-label converting line has a host of optional equipment, enabling you to specify a very adaptable plain-label converting line now and in the future because of its modular construction.

The machine is suited to the growing thermal transfer market where quick make-ready, high production speeds, and little operator input are vital to producing good profit margins.

With the addition of flexo print unit(s), the machine can manufacture weigh scale, colour-washed, and retail labels all in one pass.

Standard Features

Web width: 350mm (13.75”) or 430mm (17″)

UL350 Cantilevered Unwind Module

  • Maximum unwind diameter: 1m (39.37″).
  • 76mm (3″) air mandrel.
  • Automatic roll lift.
  • Merobel electromagnetic particle brake.
  • Automatic taper tension control.
  • Programmable end-of-roll function – The user can program the roll end diameter – slowdown and / or stop.  The system uses no roll followers or external sensors that can be damaged at roll changes.  The diameter is programmed from the touchscreen operator interface.
  • Web up – the operator from the touch screen operator interface releases the unwind brake to allow for simple webbing up of the machine.

SVT Servo driven 4 spindle turret rewind module

  • Maximum rewind diameter: 340mm (13.38″).
  • 50mm (2”) minimum roll diameter.
  • Closed loop tension control.
  • Mandrel end support at the cut & label closure / tamp position.
  • 4 x 76mm (3″) air mandrels (or 4 of customer choice).
  • Adjustable core positioning stop – ensures accurate core loading onto the mandrel.
  • Automatic roll eject system complete with roll eject chute – enables easy removal of the finished rolls by the operator.

Print and apply label applicator to close the finished roll with a label.

  • A Toshiba Tec B-EX4T1 300 dpi thermal transfer printer can print data to the roll closure labels. The printed labels are collected onto a vacuum belt and applied to the finished rolls. The label closure data is programmable from the machine’s touch screen.
