Used labelling machines from various manufacturers and labelling systems

Fully reconditioned. Matched to your production.

We offer used rotary and linear labelling machines for a variety of container formats, label types and production capacities. Our range includes machines from established manufacturers such as:

Krones – KHS – Sidel – Kosme – Langguth – Gernep – Sacmi – P.E. Labellers – BRB Globus – Cavagnino & Gatti – Z-Italia – Enos – GAI – Bertolaso – Framax – Altech – Herma – Etipack – Logopak – Klinger – Pago – Novexx Solutions – Makro Labelling – SMI – Trine

Well-known machine series and systems include, for example, Krones Topmatic, Contiroll, Solomatic and Autocol, as well as KHS Innoket.

Depending on the model, different labelling methods, label positions and container orientations are possible. When making a selection, we take particular account of the label type, the container geometry, the required output and integration into existing filling lines.

Key labelling systems and configurations:

  • Wet-glue labelling machines: Processing of paper labels with wet glue application, for example for belly, chest, back and neck labels.
  • Self-adhesive labelling machines: Processing of self-adhesive labels from a roll for various containers and label positions.
  • Roll-fed labelling machines: Process roll labels, particularly for wrap-around labels on polyethylene terephthalate and other suitable containers.
  • Sleeve labelling machines: Processing of shrink and stretch sleeves using appropriately designed systems.
  • Labelling machines with container alignment: Machines for the precise positioning of bottles, for example based on embossed markings, contours or other reference features.

Typical applications

Our used labelling machines are used in particular in filling and packaging lines for water, soft drinks, beer, wine, spirits and other beverages.

Depending on the specific machine configuration, glass bottles, polyethylene terephthalate bottles and other suitable containers can be processed.

A variety of label types and label positions are used, including belly, chest, back, neck and wrap-around labels, as well as sleeves.

Where there are specific positioning requirements, machines with container alignment offer the option of applying labels in a manner tailored to the specific characteristics of the bottles.

Key factors in deciding whether to use a used labelling machine are:

  • the existing equipment
  • the container formats
  • the label dimensions
  • the required line output.

Machine conversion, retrofitting and modernisation

In addition to trading in used machines, we offer a comprehensive range of technical services for the adaptation and modernisation of existing machines and production lines.

With our own workshop, CNC manufacturing facilities and expertise in mechanical, electrical and programming engineering, we are able to carry out a wide range of work in-house. Our aim is to ensure that existing machinery can continue to be used to meet new production requirements and to adapt it technically.

Our services include:

  • Format conversion: Adapting existing machines to different bottle formats and container geometries.
  • Mechanical modifications: Adaptation and manufacture of mechanical components and any required change parts.
  • Retrofitting: Adding to or adapting machine components and technical functions, insofar as the existing machine design permits.
  • Electrical modernisation: Adaptation and replacement of electrical components and control systems.
  • Container alignment: Testing and project-specific implementation of alignment functions on suitable machines.
  • Overhaul and maintenance: Mechanical and electrical repair work, as well as testing of existing machine components.
  • Dismantling and commissioning: Professional dismantling, loading, transport organisation, installation and commissioning at the new production site.

The scope of a conversion or retrofit depends on the specific machine model, the existing equipment and the technical requirements.

Frequently asked questions about used labelling machines

Depending on the machine model , wet-glue, self-adhesive, roll-fed and sleeve labels can be processed. Various label positions, such as belly, chest, back and neck labels, are also possible. The decisive factors are the labelling units installed, the available change parts and the technical configuration of the respective machine.

We deal in used labelling machines from various international manufacturers. These include, amongst others , Krones, KHS, Sidel, Kosme, Langguth, Gernep, Sacmi, P.E. Labellers, Cavagnino & Gatti, GAI, Bertolaso, Framax, Herma, Altech and other manufacturers. The availability of individual models and variants depends on our current stock of machines.

Yes, we also offer labelling machines with container alignment. These enable the bottles to be positioned precisely before the labelling process. This is particularly relevant for bottles with embossed features, unusual contours or specified label positions. The alignment method used and the possible applications depend on the specific machine configuration.

Yes, we undertake the conversion, retrofitting and modernisation of used labelling machines. This includes, amongst other things, mechanical adjustments, format conversions and modifications to electrical components and control systems. The retrofitting of additional functions can also be assessed and implemented on a project-by-project basis, depending on the machine’s design.

We support the entire process, from selection and technical assessment through to dismantling, loading, transport organisation, installation and commissioning. In addition, we offer overhauls, maintenance, repairs and mechanical and electrical retrofits. We carry out much of this work using our own staff and in-house production facilities.

Yes, we offer the conversion and retrofitting of existing labelling machines. This includes, for example, retrofitting container orientation so that labels can be applied in precise registration with embossing, logos or other bottle features. Adaptations to labelling stations, change parts and mechanical and electrical components are also possible. With our own manufacturing and programming capabilities, we can carry out such conversions on a project basis. We assess technical feasibility based on the machine model and the existing equipment.
