Label Rewinders & Unwinders

Het op- en afwikkelen van labelrollen

Een label rewinder is perfect voor het opwikkelen en afwikkelen van labelrollen. Er bestaan diverse soorten technieken en oplossingen. Iedere techniek heeft zijn eigen voor- en nadelen. Welke techniek het beste past, is afhankelijk van een aantal factoren:

1.
Het soort label printer dat gebruikt wordt
2.
De manier van gebruik
3.
Het formaat van de labelrol (diameter & breedte)

Onderstaand treft u algemene informatie. Als u advies wilt voor uw toepassing, neem dan gerust contact op.

Simpele en betaalbare label unwinders

Voor thermische printers kan er in een aantal gevallen gebruik gemaakt worden van een hele simpele label unwinder. Door gebruik te maken van de Godex labelstand kan een desktop labelprinter grotere rollen verwerken. Ideaal voor tijdelijke toepassingen of als aanvulling/back-up voor industriële printers.

Omdat een Godex labelstand als unwinder geen motor of andere aandrijving heeft, is deze zeer betaalbaar. Nadeel is wel dat de printer zelf verantwoordelijk is voor het afrollen door harder aan het label te trekken. Bij grote en zware labelrollen kan dit zorgen voor snellere slijtage.

Let op: Inkjet labelprinters functioneren niet of minder goed met dit type unwinder.

Actieve rewinder en unwinders

Voor het afwikkelen van labelrollen die niet in de printer passen en het opwikkelen van geprinte labels zijn er tal van actieve opties.

De meest gebruikte techniek is de actieve unwinder. Deze techniek bepaalt, veelal met een zwenkarm, of er afgewikkeld moet worden. Een label rewinder werkt vrijwel hetzelfde: middels een sensor of zwenkarm wordt bepaald of er voldoende ruimte is om te starten met opwikkelen.

Businesslabels biedt in dit segment verschillende types van Godex aan. Deze units zijn multifunctioneel en kunnen zowel als unwinder én als rewinder gebruikt worden.

Voor inkjet labelprinters

Inkjet labelprinters werken met een zogenaamde back-feed. Dit betekent dat labels bij het starten van het afdrukken (of na onderhoud) teruggetrokken worden. Daarnaast houdt een inkjet printer er niet van als er aan de labels getrokken wordt.

Een inkjet printer kan daardoor alleen goed functioneren met een aangepaste rewinder en unwinder. Deze moeten zorgen voor een constante en lage spanning, en tegelijk in staat zijn om de back-feed loop spanningsvrij op te vangen.

  • Standaard oplossing: Aangepaste varianten zoals de Godex T10C.
  • Rol naar rol: Complete set van DPR-SRL (rewinder, unwinder en baseplate).
  • Epson C7500(G): Gebruik de originele Epson rewinder of de gespecialiseerde Z-CAT rewinder van Labelmate.

DIA704HDiamondlabels

Durable matte synthetic label material with an extremely strong high tack adhesive for GHS labels, chemical labels and industrial applications

DIA704H is a high quality matte PP inkjet label material for GHS labels, chemical labels and other applications where very strong and reliable adhesion is required. It combines a durable matte synthetic face material with an extremely strong high tack adhesive, making it particularly suitable for demanding industrial environments. The matte BOPP face stock is specially coated for printing with water based inkjet inks, providing sharp text, clearly readable barcodes and high quality full colour printing. This makes DIA704H an excellent choice for printing GHS labels and chemical labels in house, for example with Epson ColorWorks colour label printers. The reverse side of the BOPP film is also specially coated to improve the bond between the face material and the adhesive. One of the key characteristics of DIA704H is its powerful synthetic rubber based hot melt adhesive . The adhesive combines high initial tack with strong permanent adhesion, helping the label remain securely attached to surfaces and packaging where a standard permanent adhesive may not provide sufficient performance. Peel adhesion is specified at 18 ± 3 N/25 mm, while loop tack is 28 ± 3 N/25 mm. The combination of a durable PP face stock and extremely strong adhesive makes DIA704H particularly suitable for GHS labels, chemical packaging, industrial labels, drums, containers and other applications where long lasting adhesion is important . Its use is not limited to the chemical industry. DIA704H is also an excellent choice for general industrial applications where a durable synthetic label with particularly strong adhesion is required. DIA704H can be applied from +4 °C and has a service temperature range from −20 to +70 °C. The material specification also states compliance with BS5609 Section 3 .

DIA715Diamondlabels

Premium white glossy plastic (PP) inkjet labels

The DIA715 is a white synthetic (PP) label material with a high-quality inkjet coating and a high-gloss finish A glossy PP in combination with an inkjet color label printer has the potential to produce the most beautiful labels such as product and retail labels. The high-gloss finish of the material ensures a very striking appearance, while the high-quality inkjet coating ensures fast drying and fine print results. The pictures will have bright colors and a barcode is always optimal printed so it can be easily be scanned by a barcode scanner. Remark: With high-speed inkjet printers such as the Epson TM-C7500G the speed of the printer can cause “windmarking”. If in doubt, always contact us for advice. The DIA725 is a PET variant and due to its various properties it is a good alternative for labels on (small) round surfaces such as bottles and test tubes

Premium inkjet coated glossy paper with removable adhesive

Glossy paper with very high quality inkjet coating with removable adhesive. The base paper DIA400 from Diamondlabels is the premium inkjet paper when it comes to fast drying and excellent quality prints in terms of resolution. Despite the good gloss value, the inkjet coating is open enough to absorb ink quickly and thus minimize bleeding (bleeding) of the ink. As a result, prints have a high color yield and brightness without sacrificing sharpness. Prints on DIA400 will therefore be of the highest possible quality. The DIA400R’s removable adhesive ensures trouble-free label removal without leaving any damage or visible traces. Ideal for temporary application of full-color labels, such as logistics application and temporary packaging labels. In addition, the DIA400R is widely used as a product label on the product itself, such as price labels on crockery. The DIA400 series is available with different adhesive types: Standaard permanente lijm: DIA400 Extra permanente High-tack lijm: DIA400H Lijm voor diepvries temperaturen: DIA400F Opake lijm (zwarte lijm): DIA400O

DIA010RDiamondlabels

Extra thin mat inkjet paperlabels with removable adhesive

Matte inkjet paper especially for applications with endless label rolls with easy to remove adhesive. Endless rolls are label rolls that consist of only one long label and are cut to any desired length with the printer’s cutter. For example, for one application multiple label formats can be printed with 1 printer and 1 roll without changes. This material is thinner than the other matte paper label materials we use. All this to extend the life of the printer’s blade and therefore make the solution more reliable in critical processes. This material is similar to the DIA010 only with a removable adhesive. Other types of matte inkjet paper include. Standard mat inkjet paper DIA055 Premium mat inkjet paper DIA050
