Dual-Side Pail Labeler

Link-Pack’s Elita series dual-side pail labeling machine is a fully automated solution designed to apply front and back labels simultaneously onto straight walled empty plastic or metal pails. Built for precision, ease of use, and reliability, this system is ideal for manufacturers looking to automate bucket labeling in industries like paint and coatings, chemicals, cleaners and food processing.

The labeling process starts as pails are placed on the infeed conveyor. Guides at the entrace to the labeler automatically lift and hold pail handles upright to provide necessary clearance for precise and uninterrupted label application. Using two label applicators, one either side of the labeling machine’s chassis, the machine simultanoeusly applies front and back pre-printed pressure-sensitive labels onto either side of the pail. Labeling is triggered when sensors signal the Herma 500 label heads for application.

The labels are firmly pressed onto the container using brushes, ensuring full surface contact and a smooth, wrinkle-free finish. For longer labels, optional piston-activated foam rollers can be added to enhance pressure and guarantee consistent adhesion along the entire length.
