2172 Hugger Belt System

Product catalog summary

Challenge: A large chocolate manufacturer needed a system to apply pressure-sensitive labels to the bottom of five different sizes of filled and closed candy packages at speeds up to 60 products per minute.

Solution: Label-Aire developed a product handling system featuring custom dual, thin line side hugger belts that adjust in width to fit various shrink-wrapped trays. The system uses the Model 2115CD, mounted bottom-up, to apply a 3” wide by 5” long clear film label. Products are hand-loaded onto a 3-foot long in-feed conveyor, which aligns them for the hugger belts before labeling. The entire setup is mounted on a welded and painted carbon steel mainframe with locking casters for easy mobility. The system's total length is 5 feet, and it achieves a label placement accuracy of +/- 1/32”.
