LABELS & LABELLING
Flexibility first
The growing variety of beverage types and bottle formats has made labelling increasingly challenging, with flexibility on the labelling line a feature highly valued by beverage producers. In response, Sidel has launched four new solutions enabling fast format changeovers and optimal efficiency.
2The EvoDECO Roll-Fed labeller is designed for top productivity and a sustainable footprint. Boasting four carousel sizes, up to three labelling stations and 24 con- figurations, the Roll-Fed can gener- ate outputs of up to 72,000 contain- ers per hour at an efficiency rate of 98 per cent. It is particularly suit- able for water, carbonated soft drinks (CSD), juices and dairy producers. Using hot glue to apply wrap-around plastic labels, it can handle light- weight containers and ultra-thin la- bels, yet allowing for better glue con- trol and distribution, together with reduced consumption.

ABELS are key components of any brand marketing mix, allowing manufacturers to differentiate their products and give end consumers
the information they need and increasingly expect.
Precise application of high- quality labels typically contrib- utes to a positive brand experience. At the same time, the growing variety of beverage types and bottle formats has made labelling increasingly chal- lenging. It follows that flexible equip- ment that enable faster product and format changeovers are sought after by beverage producers. Also prized are simple operations and optimised processes that use the same equip- ment for different label types, still en-
suring consistent uptime.
In order to meet these demands,
Sidel has introduced the new Evo- DECO labelling solutions. Based on a common core and optimised de- sign, they enable producers to deliv- er different stock keeping units (SKUs). They might either include several labelling applications in one multi-technology machine or a sin- gle labelling application through dedicated equipment, for optimised uptime, reduced footprint and low total cost of ownership (TCO).
The EvoDECO platform is built us- ing the latest technologies regardless of model or configuration. This gives beverage producers the ability to choose solutions based on their spe- cific labelling needs and output lev- els, without compromising on flexi- bility, efficiency or sustainability.
Here are just some of the key fea- tures of the four options:
ABOVE: EvoDeco Multi brings modularity into labelling.
BELOW: Precise label application is a feature of the Sidel solution.
The EvoDECO Adhesive labeller
is designed to apply labels at
high speed with increased effi- ciency. It can be equipped with six different carousel sizes, up to five la- belling stations and 36 configuration possibilities. Able to apply plastic or paper Pressure Sensitive Labels (PSL), it has been optimised to suit the needs of beer, water, food, home and personal care producers.
The advanced unwinding, feeding and peeling control, through highly efficient servomotors, enables greater stability and precision in the label- ling process. This allows the ma- chine to handle also ultra-thin labels, down to 25μ, with top quality appli- cation at speeds of up to 66,000 con- tainers per hour. It also delivers the flexibility that manufacturers need in applying labels to a variety of con- tainers of different shapes and sizes.
solution to date, the EvoDECO 1
Sidel’s most flexible labelling
Multi, brings modularity into la- belling. It offers a standardised car- ousel that can be equipped with up to four different labelling technolo- gies: roll-fed, self-adhesive, cold glue and hot melt. This allows manufac- turers to set up the machine for their unique labelling needs, as they can easily apply several types of labels to different types of containers and packaging materials (PET, HDPE, glass), of varying formats and di- mensions (from 0.1L to 5L), on a sin- gle machine at speeds from 6,000 up to 81,000 containers per hour. Switching between various labelling modules is quick and easy, thanks to Plug & Play connections, offering producers the freedom of labelling choice and total flexibility.
