‘Patrick Aengenvoort, director of Rototec, invited and accompanied S&N Labels to our manufacturing facility in Hamburg to view a demonstration of the RSD 440,’ said Ralph Beier, international sales manager for Rotocontrol. ‘They were so impressed with the technology, specifically the DRM turret, that they placed an order on-site.’   

Tim Grisdale, production manager of S&N Labels, said: ‘The demonstration exceeded our expectations, especially the DRM dual rewind semi-automatic turret technology. After doing the calculations on time saved it was easy to justify ordering the additional option.’

Automotive applications expose labels to high temperatures, abrasion and harsh chemicals that can cause them to yellow, shrink and fall off.  

The XF-592 is a polyimide label with a high temperature aggressive acrylic adhesive and a high opacity white topcoat designed for barcode or alphanumeric identification. The aggressive pressure sensitive adhesive on this product is specifically designed to adhere to rough surfaces (i.e., engine blocks) where high temperatures occur. 

The XF-807 is an aluminum label material with a permanent high-temperature acrylic adhesive and a high opacity, white topcoat specifically designed for thermal transfer printing. The aluminum face sheet is said to provide excellent long term temperature and impact resistance over polymeric films. 

These materials are compliant with the REACH & RoHS initiatives and are Halogen free.

RFID projects that do not require the EPC or DoD RFID code can use EasyLabel to directly program HF or UHF smart labels in a hexadecimal or ASCII format. 

EasyLabel brings the option to import parts or all of your RFID data from sources such as databases, serial files, user input, existing barcode or text fields and external text files. The RFID data, encoded in the RFID tags, can also be printed on smart labels as a text or barcode field.  

An additional EasyLabel RFID feature is the ability to write and print a report that includes the data used to program printed smart labels. This report can then be used as part of an ASN (Advanced Shipping Notice) or to keep a record of labeled items.

Sablatnig has 25 years of industry experience, having previously held the position of chief commercial officer with international paper groups Mondi Business Paper and Neusiedler. He has recently acted as an industry consultant with his own business, MyWay Consult. 

‘My plans are to strengthen Brigl’s position in the sector as a market leader, and focus on our position as a leader in quality,’ he said. 

Sablatnig also stated that he would continue to follow the cost restructuring program which commenced at Brigl last year, in order to make the business more competitive. He emphasized that his appointment did not mean change in strategy for Brigl & Bergmeister.  

Sablatnig added: ‘Our target is to make Brigl & Bergmeister more professional and fit for the challenges of the market. Brigl & Bergmeister’s customer structure needs to be more international, and become more global, due to the consolidation of its customer base in the breweries sector in particular. This means we no longer have many customers on a one-to-one basis, so we need to improve our presence and build a better structure within our business. We need to be close to the multi-national customers at headquarters level, whilst at the same time improving our local sales level presence.’

The seminar will focus on the fundamentals and process know-how needed to handle any web handling issue. From exploring the theoretical to understanding practical applications, participants will be able to diagnose and treat existing problems and also accurately identify the specifications needed for new webs.  

Critical areas of tension control, web tracking, roller choices and their effects, machine alignment and web defects such as roping, telescoping, and staring will be covered at various levels. Although theory is included, emphasis is placed on practical problem solving techniques for the plant engineer. 

Instructed by Chris Watson, a web handling technology authority, the course is applicable to any web-based product, including paper, film, metals, non-wovens, textiles, or any combination of coated or laminated webs.
