What are the key benefits of using a lid applicator？
Implementing an advanced lid applicator machine into your production line offers several transformative advantages for manufacturers:
Significant Labor Savings: By replacing repetitive manual tasks with high-speed automation, it drastically reduces labor costs and eliminates human fatigue.
Precision and Consistency: Automated systems provide a level of accuracy unachievable by hand, ensuring a capping and labeling accuracy of ±1mm for a premium product finish.
Increased Production Throughput: Designed for high-volume environments, these machines can handle up to 120 packs/min, significantly boosting the overall efficiency of your wet wipe packaging machine line.
Waste Reduction: The integrated robotic vision system ensures precise glue application and lid positioning, which minimizes material waste and rejected products.
Enhanced Hygiene: The fully automatic process reduces direct human contact with the product, which is critical in the personal care and medical wet wipe packaging machine sectors.

How does the vision system improve the quality of wet wipe packaging?
The vision system performs on-line identification and monitoring of the label position. By measuring the exact angle and coordinates of each pack, it guides the robotic arm to attach the lid with sub-millimeter accuracy. This eliminates misalignment issues commonly found in manual or lower-end automated systems.

How accurate is the lid placement and labeling?
Both models in the RLA series feature high-precision robotic control, achieving a capping accuracy of ±1mm and a labeling accuracy of ±1mm. This level of precision is maintained across various wet wipe packaging machine speeds.

What sizes of lids and wet wipe packs can the machine handle?
The machine is highly adaptable, supporting wet wipe heights from 20mm to 110mm. It can apply caps up to 130mm x 90mm and labels up to 100mm x 80mm, covering the vast majority of consumer and industrial wet wipe formats.

Does the machine require manual intervention for label changes?
Minimal intervention is required. The RLA series is equipped with 2 labeling machines featuring automatic switching functionality. This ensures that your lid applicator machine production line remains uninterrupted when one label roll is exhausted.
