Meler V-Label Adjustable Hot Melt Labeling Applicator – Configurable

Adjustable Hot Melt Labeling Applicator for Wrap-Around Container Applications

The Meler V-Label is an adjustable hot melt labeling applicator designed for wrap-around labeling of bottles, cans, and other containers. Engineered for multi-format production environments, it allows operators to manually adjust coating width to match different label sizes, supporting fast format changes and flexible production setups.

Its compact design and simple configuration enable seamless integration into both rotary and linear labeling systems. With adjustable adhesive application control, high repeatability, and configurable options, the V-Label supports consistent labeling performance while adapting to a wide range of container formats and production requirements.

Benefits of the Meler V-Label Hot Melt Labeling Applicator

• Adjustable Coating Width (0–270 mm): Manually adapts to different label sizes, reducing changeover time and reducing the need for multiple applicators.
• Designed for Wrap-Around Labeling Applications: Optimized for bottles, cans, and containers requiring consistent adhesive coverage.
• Seamless Integration into Labeling Lines: Compact, simple design supports easy installation in both rotary and linear systems with minimal setup complexity.
• Precise Adhesive Application Control: Adjustable MSU.FL module enables fine control of coating weight and strip thickness.
• High-Speed, Repeatable Performance: Built for consistent adhesive application with high repeatability across production conditions.
• Configurable for Machine Layouts: Available in left or right configurations with multiple hydraulic connection options to match system requirements.
• Supports Multi-Station Labeling Systems: Can be integrated into setups with multiple gluing stations for wrap and edge bonding processes.
