Kingsland Wines & Spirits Ltd, the UK’s largest independent bottler of wines and spirits, is now able to offer it’s customers a wider range of options for their label designs through the extensive investment in self-adhesive labeller technology.
Part of that investment is new ACI ‘JetPlate’ drying system to maximise the quality of the label application.
Any condensation or water that accumulates on the outside of the bottle prior to labelling can have an adverse effect on the label application quality as it prevents the label from adhering to the bottle.
“The ACI system works very efficiently” says Nigel Smith, Company Engineering Manager. “It provides significant benefits enabling us to enhance our services to customers which include many leading high street retailers.”
JetPlate’s air flow is designed to ensure water and spray is driven downwards to prevent possible re-contamination.
The JetPlate’s plenums are simple to adjust to suit different bottle sizes with no risk of incorrect positioning and consequent inefficient drying.
