Contiroll
Machine for reel-fed wrap-around labelling
High flexibility with wrap-around labelling
When it comes to decorating containers with wrap-around, reel-fed labels, the Contiroll has been setting the benchmark for many years now.
The machine has been designed as rotary machine and is equipped with a precisely operating labelling station. With regard to efficiency,
accuracy and speed, the Contiroll absolutely takes a leading position.
At a glance
− Wrap-around labelling of cylindrical and specially shaped containers
− Precise container fixing using centring bells and container plates
− Quick access to the user interface through individual transponders
− Remote maintenance is available as an option

Method of operation
A feed roller, the speed of which is adjusted to suit the label length,
continually pulls the label film from the reel. The label film guider,
1
which is installed as standard, makes sure that the label film is
pulled straight.
In the cutting unit, the labels are precisely cut while a computer and
2
servo motor ensure an exact cut-off point.
A heated glue roller applies a small glue strip to the leading and to
3
the trailing edge of the label.
In order to tighten the label, the containers are rotated. When the
4
trailing edge is glued down, the secure bond is complete.

Certified ecological efficiency
Machines with enviro seal
At Krones, the enviro label stands for excellent ecological efficiency. Products that bear the enviro label have proven in an objective test
procedure that they efficiently use energy and media, and that they produce in an environmentally-friendly way. The requirements are
defined by the EME standard that has been developed by the TÜV SÜD (technical inspection authority) for assessing production plants.
The enviro test procedure, too, has been certified by TÜV SÜD as an independent expert. Therefore, you can be sure that: an enviro label
stands for ecological efficiency.
This is why the Contiroll with the TS labelling station is
enviro-classified:
Energy savings
− Up to 25 percent less energy consumption of the Contiroll TS labelling
station thanks to the split vacuum system
− Insulation of gluing unit and glue bowl for an increased operational safety
and reduction of energy consumption
Media savings
− Controlled and thus economic glue application thanks to the newly
developed "Gravure glue application"
− Reduced number of lubrication points
