EvoDeco Next Sidel’s roll-fed solution for PET bottles allows the use of partial labels, which can reduce label surface by up to 75 percent compared with a conventional wraparound style. The integrated platform combines feeding, cutting, transfer and control. The new Cutter 2.0 rotary cutting system, positioned directly on the transfer drum, uses two blades to handle the shorter labels. The Smart Buffer is designed to absorb reel changes without variation in production speed, and the Smart Camera enables reference-mark-free label management. Dedicated software supports autocorrection, improved auto-homing and diagnostics. Other key elements have been simplified for faster changeovers, easier maintenance and consistent uptime.
What’s new? The EvoDeco Next.
Benefits Lower material consumption for cost savings, along with greater design freedom, while maintaining label performance. The platform can be combined with Sidel’s CoboReel automated reel-management solution to further reduce operator intervention.
