ALtech Air Blow

Q: What is the difference between a Blow Box and a Tamp Blow?

With a Blow Box, the label is applied directly to the product using an air blast, without the applicator moving towards the product. With a Tamp Blow, the applicator first moves closer to the product before the label is applied using an air blast. This makes the Tamp Blow ideal for longer application distances or hard-to-reach labeling positions.

Q: What applications are the ALcode Blow Box & Tamp Blow suitable for?

The system is designed for the automatic labeling of boxes, trays, packaging, and other products on automated production lines. Thanks to its contactless application method, it is ideal for fragile products, irregular surfaces, and applications with varying product heights.

Q: What data can be printed during the production process?

The integrated thermal printer supports real-time printing of variable data such as barcodes, QR codes, serial numbers, batch codes, expiration dates, and product information, after which the label is immediately applied to the product.

Q: Can the ALcode Blow Box & Tamp Blow be integrated into an existing production line?

Yes. Thanks to its modular design and connection options for PLC systems, sensors, and other automation equipment, the system can be easily integrated into existing production and packaging lines.

Print & apply

Print & Apply with contactless labeling
Integrated Print & Apply solutions for the automatic printing and contactless application of labels with variable data such as barcodes, batch codes, and product information.

Accurate contactless labeling
Thanks to Blow Box and Tamp Blow technology, labels are applied accurately using an air blast, without direct contact with the product. This makes the system ideal for fragile products, irregular surfaces, and applications requiring high label placement accuracy.

Flexible solution for industrial production lines
Thanks to their modular design and various application configurations, both Blow Box and Tamp Blow systems can be easily integrated into existing production lines and adapted to a wide range of packaging and product identification applications.

Product information

The ALtech ALcode Blow Box & Tamp Blow is an industrial Print & Apply solution designed for the automatic printing and contactless application of self-adhesive labels onto products and packaging. The system is developed for applications that require accurate labeling with variable data such as barcodes, batch codes, serial numbers, and product information.

Depending on the application, the ALcode is available in two configurations:

Blow Box: The label is applied directly to the product using an air blast, without the applicator moving towards the product.
Tamp Blow: The applicator first moves towards the product, after which the label is applied using an air blast. This configuration is ideal for greater application distances or hard-to-reach labeling positions.

Both systems feature an integrated thermal printer that enables real-time printing and application of labels. The contactless labeling method is ideal for fragile products, irregular surfaces, and applications where direct contact with the product is not desirable.

Thanks to its modular design, the ALcode Blow Box & Tamp Blow can be easily integrated into existing production and packaging lines. Its robust construction, reliable control system, and flexible configuration options ensure consistent labeling quality, high operational reliability, and optimal performance across a wide range of industrial applications.

Specifications

Blow Box: Contactless application where the label is applied directly to the product using an air blast.
Tamp Blow: A pneumatic applicator moves towards the product before applying the label contactlessly using an air blast.
Operation: Equipped with a microprocessor-controlled controller featuring user-friendly operation and adjustment options for quick configuration of the labeling process. Settings are stored to ensure reliable operation and easy product changeovers.
Functions: Adjustable parameters for label dispensing, application speed, and label delay. The system also supports functions such as label detection, product detection, product counting, and labeling process monitoring.
Label roll: Suitable for high-capacity industrial label rolls, enabling longer production runs and reducing the frequency of label roll changes.
Options: Expandable with various sensors, encoders, and application modules for optimal integration into the production line. Available in different configurations for a wide range of packaging and product identification applications.
Interfaces: Equipped with connection options for integration with external machines, PLC systems, and automated production lines.
Placement accuracy: High labeling accuracy, depending on product type, application method, production speed, and system configuration.
Drive system: Reliable drive system for controlled label dispensing and accurate application throughout the production process.
Power supply: Industrial power supply for reliable operation in automated production environments.
