Sleeve machines are specialized packaging machines used in numerous industries: food, cosmetic, chemical, industrial, pharmaceutical, and beverage. A sleeve is a type of special label that differs from traditional labels: instead of being glued onto the container, it is a plastic label that is slipped onto the container itself. Examples of sleeve label applications are numerous and visible daily: on beverages, shampoo bottles, oil bottles, and household products such as fabric softeners and detergents.... At Makinate, you can find a wide selection of certified used sleeve machines, ideal for aesthetically enhancing your products with a sustainable investment.
Operation of sleeve machines
Containers, already filled and capped, travel on a motorized conveyor that transports them to the machine. A screw feeder brings the containers to the vertical sleeve insertion station, where the sleeve label is slipped onto the container. Subsequently, the container passes through a shrink tunnel where the sleeve is tightened around the container using heat, ensuring it adheres perfectly to the shape of the vessel. Typically, a control sensor verifies that the sleeve has been correctly applied and automatically rejects non-compliant containers before they proceed to another machine for additional packaging.
Types of sleeves and application versatility
Sleeve machines offer great versatility thanks to the different types of labels that can be applied. The sleeve can be full, covering the entire surface of the container for maximum visual impact, or partial, applied to only a portion of the container. Other configurations include multipack sleeves for grouping multiple products, underlap sleeves with minimal overlap, or tamper-evident sleeves that certify the product’s integrity. This flexibility allows sleeve machines to adapt to the specific needs and requirements of each client, providing customized solutions for various industrial sectors while ensuring protection, aesthetics, and functionality.
