Inline 6000 Zero Downtime Labeling System
Custom System

The Challenge
A regional bottled water company was in need of a versatile pressure-sensitive labeling system to apply labels to its
1-gallon jugs of purified spring water reliably at high speeds. The customer also required tight labeling tolerances,
continuous labeling capability, and a bottle ejection system for non-labeled products–all needs that could not be
fulfilled using their current labeling system from a competing manufacturer.

The Solution
Label-Aire’s custom solution was to fit two high speed 3115 Wipe-On labelers on the same side of its most popular
open-frame conveyor. The result is the Inline Series 6000 Zero Downtime Labeling System. By combining
Label-Aire’s legendary wipe-on labeling technology with its proven conveyor technology, a fast and reliable labeling
system was created. The Inline Series 6000 Zero Downtime Labeling System easily applies labels to 1-gallon jugs
at speeds up to 200 containers per minute. Utilizing a top-trap mechanism to secure the product during application,
label placement accuracy of +/- 1/32" (.8 mm) is maintained. The system’s zero downtime configuration allows
uninterrupted labeling–when one applicator runs out of labels, the system automatically switches to the other and
labeling continues. In the event of a jam further up the bottling line, this custom Inline 6000 also has the ability to
divert bottles off the line while stopping the infeed side from feeding more bottles into the system until the line is
cleared. Another feature is an auto eject system to reject unlabeled bottles.
