Labelling Solutions Vulcanised Tyre Labels can take the heat
allowing the tyre to remain traceable throughout a customer’s supply chain. During the vulcanisation process, this special PSA material would be triggered to have a chemical reaction with the tyre rubber, enabling it to bond the tyre surface permanently,” says Hans Eichenwald, senior product manager, Avery Dennison Europe. “There’s an increased need for barcoding on
tyres. They are fundamental to the tyre industry’s transition into the world of Industry 4.0, allowing the widespread application of digital technologies to integrate automated manufacturing and supply-chain processes. Barcode tracking specifically improves quality, production, and inventory management,” adds Eichenwald. Made of specially-selected materials, Avery

very Dennison has created a label that is engineered to bond with a tyre during the vulcanisation process, maintaining lifelong
adhesion and readability. The drive for efficiency and quality in tyre manufacture has sparked demand for a new kind of label that withstands the rigors of the production process. To meet this demand, Avery Dennison has developed a new label solution that goes beyond what has been available currently. This product meets the tough
requirements of the vulcanisation process and supports the varying needs of manufacturers for strong bonding with different types of green rubber (like SBR, BR and Nature Rubber) after the vulcanisation process. “The Avery Dennison solution consists of specially designed barcode tracking labels engineered to bond with the tyre during the vulcanisation process, and maintain lifelong adhesion and readability. These pressure-sensitive labels offer excellent abrasion and heat resistance,
Dennison’s tyre vulcanisation labels enable bar code or thermal transfer printability, optimal adhesion and bonding to the green tyre during vulcanisation. They withstand the pressure and heat of the curing process (up to 200°C), and resist chemical degradation from acids, bases, salts and low-fat solvents as well as abrasion for long-term durability. They have been designed for maximum identification through the supply chain, and to withstand the demands of the inspection, sorting and shipping processes. The label material will be globally available.

A Vial and Bottle Labeller that ensures easy and reliable operation
Labeller from LSS has been designed with primary focus on user friendliness. LSS customers confirm that the machine fulfils the requirements of the pharmaceutical industry. The LSS Vial and Bottle Labeller is specified for vials and bottles made of glass or plastic with a product diameter between 14 and 35mm and a minimum height of 30mm. The machine labels up to 250 vials or bottles per minute. The LSS Vial and Bottle Labeller is available as an off-line or in- line unit. Due to its small footprint and modular design it can be integrated into existing production environments. The labeller achieves maximum efficiency not
B
only during the period of time when the machine is running, but also by enabling quick and safe batch start/stop, format changes, line clearance, cleaning, maintenance and service. The labelling solution optionally features format parts for multiple product sizes, print on label with thermal transfer printer or laser. Further options include a height adjustable version of the labeller. Different print technologies such as thermal
transfer print or laser marking can be applied. The solution is prepared for integration with several products from the most commonly used

ased on the expertise of many years of cooperation with customers in the pharmaceutical industry, the Vial and Bottle
suppliers of printers and lasers. Infeed of the vials and bottles can be executed from a tray via a turntable and conveyor or inline from an upstream machine via conveyor. The LSS Vial and Bottle Labeller is intuitively
operated through a colour HMI from where batches can be started or stopped and variable data can be sent both to the printer and the vision system. The HMI also displays messages and alarms and enables monitoring of the overall machine status. The main HMI is on the operator side of the
Vial and Bottle Labeller. It is duplicated and the additional HMI can be viewed from the service position. Format changing is convenient as no time-consuming mechanical adjustments need to be performed manually. On the HMI a predefined format has to be selected and only a few format parts have to be replaced. All components that require positioning are on motor driven spindles. They will automatically be adjusted when a format is loaded. Several large doors in the machine cover all sides, making the LSS Vial and Bottle Labeller easy to access for operation, line clearance, service or maintenance. Line clearance is comfortable as the machine stands out with no hidden inspection and control slots, openings and visible wires and air hoses. In the HMI a visualised shift register for labels, vials and bottles can be monitored. The shift
register is related to the integrated control and allows vision inspection of the label after it has been printed, but before it is applied to the vial or bottle. The printed information, for example a label ID, is inspected. Non-approved labels are rejected before they are applied at the label reject station.
