2114M Tamp-Blow System

Product catalog summary

Challenge: A large U.S. packager needed a system to apply a 1-inch round label to the recessed tops of four sizes of open, hinged lid containers used for packaging contact lenses.

Solution: Label-Aire developed a 6-inch wide by 6-foot long pusher lug conveyor system to transport these lightweight products. The Model 2114M inverted tamp-blow applicator uses vacuum to hold the small label on the applicator pad. As the air cylinder extends toward the product, the label is blown onto the recessed area without disturbing the product's position on the conveyor. A secondary roller ensures the label is properly laid down. Labels are applied with an accuracy of +/- 1/32 inch at a rate of 80 products per minute.

Conclusion: This Label-Aire turnkey economy tamp blow system is ideal for applications requiring precise accuracy on light, unstable products.
