Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Eticap AR 4T 2S is a
rotary pressure‑sensitive labeling machine designed for precise
application on glass bottles within a used bottling line. This second
hand unit offers reliable performance for beverage production
environments seeking consistent label placement at moderate speeds.
Manufacturer / Model: Eticap AR 4T 2S (4 labeling heads) Year of
manufacture: 1997 Production speed: up to 2,500 bph (bottles per hour)
Container types: Glass bottles (optimized for cylindrical and slightly
conical formats) Bottle formats handled: 0.06 L and 0.75 L Labeling
technology: Pressure‑sensitive (self‑adhesive) Number of labeling
stations: 2 Rotary plates: 4 cam‑driven plates with mechanical
orientation (Maltese‑cross/Geneva mechanism) Rotation direction:
Clockwise Head adjustment: Manual fine adjustment for label heads
Optical centering: Mechanical centering (no optical centering system)
Electrical: 380V, 50Hz Approx. weight: 1,200 kg Condition: In storage
Documentation: Manuals available Advanced Automation & Control Systems
This Eticap labeler features inverter‑driven variable speed to match
upstream rinsing, filling, and capping operations within an industrial
packaging line. An intuitive operator interface supports start/stop,
speed regulation, and basic diagnostics. Label sensors and bottle
presence detection ensure consistent application, while mechanical
synchronization of the rotary carousel delivers repeatable orientation
and label wrap without an optical centering system. Electrical
configuration is standard for European beverage production sites at
380V, 50Hz. Safety features include interlocked guards and emergency
stop circuits for operator protection. Production Line Integration
Capabilities Engineered for seamless integration into a used bottling
line, the AR 4T 2S accepts infeed/outfeed conveyor connections and can
be synchronized with typical wine or beer fillers and corking/capping
turrets. Format parts support quick changeover between 0.06 L and 0.75
L glass bottles, enabling multi‑product flexibility. The two
self‑adhesive stations are suitable for body and back label
configurations; additional tooling can extend versatility where
required. It interfaces well with downstream inspection,
coding/marking, and case packing commonly found in beverage production
and broader industrial packaging setups. Machine Condition &
Maintenance History The machine is currently in storage and available
as a second hand asset. Visual condition is consistent with its age,
with stainless steel fairings and safety protections present. Manuals
are included to facilitate commissioning, preventive maintenance, and
troubleshooting. Prior to installation, a standard mechanical and
electrical inspection is recommended to verify bearings, belts,
sensors, and label head components. Spare parts and technical support
for Eticap equipment remain accessible through established aftermarket
channels. Operational Performance & Versatility Optimized for glass
bottles, this labeler suits wine, beer, cider, water, juice, and
spirits where pressure‑sensitive labels are specified. Mechanical
centering and cam‑driven plates provide accurate label placement on
cylindrical and slightly conical containers in the listed formats. In
beverage production environments, the machine slots between filling
and capping on the wet side or ahead of packing on the dry side,
supporting consistent throughput at up to 2,500 bph. While the
labeling function targets glass, the machine can operate in mixed
lines that also handle PET or aluminum containers in other stations,
ensuring overall line coherence. Installation Requirements & Site
Preparation Utilities: 380V, 50Hz electrical supply; verify grounding
and protective devices per plant standards Footprint & access: Allow
clearance for operator access, safety guards opening, and label roll
replacement Conveyors: Standard height compatibility; provide stable
infeed/outfeed accumulation for smooth transfer Environment: Clean,
level floor; ambient conditions suitable for label adhesive
performance Commissioning: Alignment, sensor calibration, and
mechanical timing of plates and stations per manual Safety Standards &
Compliance Certification The Eticap AR 4T 2S includes rigid stainless
steel guarding with interlocks, emergency stop push‑buttons, and
mechanical protections around moving parts to reduce risk during
operation and cleaning. The faired stainless frame supports hygienic
practices common in beverage and food‑grade industrial packaging.
Operators should adhere to lockout/tagout procedures and follow the
supplied manuals for safe setup, changeover, and maintenance. When
integrated into a complete used bottling line, ensure conformity of
the overall system to applicable local safety regulations and plant
policies.
