Automatic Tamp Labelling

Print and apply labeller with tamp application

The ICE Vulcan Print and Apply Labelling (LPA) system with Tamp offers great flexibility for a wide range of top, base or side labelling applications where direct apply may not be possible. These could be random height packs, stop-start motion where highly accurate label placement is required on a stationary pack or extremely high line speeds.

Common applications for the Vulcan LPA with Tamp include keg labelling, e-commerce, pallets / logistics, sack and bulk products. However, it can also be used successfully in many medical, pharmaceutical and industrial applications where label placement is critical.

The Vulcan LPA Tamp system operates using a controlled vacuum to hold the printed label and optional air blast on certain applications through a specially designed application pad. This pad has built-in pack sensing to ensure the correct pressure is applied during label adhesion.
