Technical Specifications & Performance Data The Eticap AR 4T 2S is a
rotary pressureâsensitive labeling machine designed for precise
application on glass bottles within a used bottling line. This second
hand unit offers reliable performance for beverage production
environments seeking consistent label placement at moderate speeds.
Manufacturer / Model: Eticap AR 4T 2S (4 labeling heads) Year of
manufacture: 1997 Production speed: up to 2,500 bph (bottles per hour)
Container types: Glass bottles (optimized for cylindrical and slightly
conical formats) Bottle formats handled: 0.06 L and 0.75 L Labeling
technology: Pressureâsensitive (selfâadhesive) Number of
labeling stations: 2 Rotary plates: 4 camâdriven plates with
mechanical orientation (Malteseâcross/Geneva mechanism) Rotation
direction: Clockwise Head adjustment: Manual fine adjustment for label
heads Optical centering: Mechanical centering (no optical centering
system) Electrical: 380V, 50Hz Approx. weight: 1,200 kg Condition: In
storage Documentation: Manuals available Advanced Automation & Control
Systems This Eticap labeler features inverterâdriven variable
speed to match upstream rinsing, filling, and capping operations
within an industrial packaging line. An intuitive operator interface
supports start/stop, speed regulation, and basic diagnostics. Label
sensors and bottle presence detection ensure consistent application,
while mechanical synchronization of the rotary carousel delivers
repeatable orientation and label wrap without an optical centering
system. Electrical configuration is standard for European beverage
production sites at 380V, 50Hz. Safety features include interlocked
guards and emergency stop circuits for operator protection. Production
Line Integration Capabilities Engineered for seamless integration into
a used bottling line, the AR 4T 2S accepts infeed/outfeed conveyor
connections and can be synchronized with typical wine or beer fillers
and corking/capping turrets. Format parts support quick changeover
between 0.06 L and 0.75 L glass bottles, enabling multiâproduct
flexibility. The two selfâadhesive stations are suitable for body
and back label configurations; additional tooling can extend
versatility where required. It interfaces well with downstream
inspection, coding/marking, and case packing commonly found in
beverage production and broader industrial packaging setups. Machine
Condition & Maintenance History The machine is currently in storage
and available as a second hand asset. Visual condition is consistent
with its age, with stainless steel fairings and safety protections
present. Manuals are included to facilitate commissioning, preventive
maintenance, and troubleshooting. Prior to installation, a standard
mechanical and electrical inspection is recommended to verify
bearings, belts, sensors, and label head components. Spare parts and
technical support for Eticap equipment remain accessible through
established aftermarket channels. Operational Performance &
Versatility Optimized for glass bottles, this labeler suits wine,
beer, cider, water, juice, and spirits where pressureâsensitive
labels are specified. Mechanical centering and camâdriven plates
provide accurate label placement on cylindrical and slightly conical
containers in the listed formats. In beverage production environments,
the machine slots between filling and capping on the wet side or ahead
of packing on the dry side, supporting consistent throughput at up to
2,500 bph. While the labeling function targets glass, the machine can
operate in mixed lines that also handle PET or aluminum containers in
other stations, ensuring overall line coherence. Installation
Requirements & Site Preparation Utilities: 380V, 50Hz electrical
supply; verify grounding and protective devices per plant standards
Footprint & access: Allow clearance for operator access, safety guards
opening, and label roll replacement Conveyors: Standard height
compatibility; provide stable infeed/outfeed accumulation for smooth
transfer Environment: Clean, level floor; ambient conditions suitable
for label adhesive performance Commissioning: Alignment, sensor
calibration, and mechanical timing of plates and stations per manual
Safety Standards & Compliance Certification The Eticap AR 4T 2S
includes rigid stainless steel guarding with interlocks, emergency
stop pushâbuttons, and mechanical protections around moving parts
to reduce risk during operation and cleaning. The faired stainless
frame supports hygienic practices common in beverage and
foodâgrade industrial packaging. Operators should adhere to
lockout/tagout procedures and follow the supplied manuals for safe
setup, changeover, and maintenance. When integrated into a complete
used bottling line, ensure conformity of the overall system to
applicable local safety regulations and plant policies.
