SpeedMate Blade Label Applicators

Solution overview

Full electric wipe on applicator

In high-speed production environments, labeling must be seamless, stable, and perfectly synchronized with the flow.
SpeedMate Blade is designed to meet this challenge, delivering precise wipe-on labeling on moving products without interruption.
Its versatile architecture enables top, bottom, and side applications, adapting easily to different layouts and production requirements.
At its core, a dual motor control system ensures constant liner stability, preventing tension issues and enabling smooth, consistent label dispensing even at high speeds.
Built with a robust industrial design and engineered for long-term performance, SpeedMate Blade combines accuracy, reliability, and ease of integration—supporting continuous operation in demanding production lines.

SpeedMate Blade Presentation

Precision in motion. Reliability by design.
A wipe-on system built for continuous operation, combining precise control and robust engineering to ensure consistent results at high speed.

Solution highlights

  1. Wipe-on, perfected

    Designed for smooth and consistent application, SpeedMate Blade ensures precise label placement on moving products without the need for complex application systems.
    Reliable across top, bottom, and side configurations, it adapts to a wide range of production requirements.

  2. Tension under control

    The dual stepper motor system independently manages liner tension and rewinding, maintaining constant stability throughout the labeling process.
    This prevents liner stretching, reduces the risk of tearing, and ensures consistent label dispensing over time.

  3. Speed meets precision

    Capable of reaching speeds up to 70 m/min with an accuracy of ±1 mm, SpeedMate Blade maintains high labeling quality even in demanding, high-throughput environments.
    Performance remains stable without compromising application precision.

  4. Built to last

    Engineered for industrial durability, the system features robust components, protected connections, and optimized mechanical design.
    This results in reduced maintenance needs, improved uptime, and reliable operation even in harsh production conditions
