New Labelling Solutions
It has never been more important to stand out from the crowd than in today's competitive beverage market. Labels 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.
In order to meet these demands, Sidel has introduced the new EvoDeco labelling solutions. Based on a common core and optimised design, they enable producers to deliver different stock keeping units (SKUs). They might either include several labelling applications in one multi-technology machine or a single labelling application through dedicated equipment, for optimised uptime, reduced footprint and low total cost of ownership (TCO). The EvoDeco platform is built using the latest technologies regardless of model or configuration. This gives beverage producers the ability to choose solutions based on their specific labelling needs and output levels, without compromising on flexibility, efficiency or sustainability.
Sidel’s most flexible labelling solution to date, the EvoDeco Multi, brings modularity into labelling. It offers a standardised carousel that can be equipped with up to four different labelling technologies: roll-fed, self-adhesive, cold glue and hot melt. This allows manufacturers 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 dimensions (from 0.1l to 5l), on a single 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.
As part of the Sidel Matrix platform, the EvoDeco Multi has been designed for modularity, flexibility and performance. It allows for up to 36 layout configurations and a 30 per cent faster changeover time. It also offers 98 per cent efficiency with non-stop labelling as well as lower TCO through reduced electrical consumption, maintenance time and optimised glue management. Attention has also been paid to ergonomics and operator safety: easy operations, cleaning and maintenance are facilitated by its open, frameless structure. This, together with the redesign of all the single modules, results in a significantly enhanced machine uptime.
