Properties
LA-BO = Label Applicator – Blow On.
The applicator is driven by compressed air. The label is held to the aluminium grid on the bottom
side of the applicator by an inwards airflow created by a fan on the side of the applicator.
Mode of Operation
The fan in the LA-BO is continuously powered, creating a strong inwards airflow through the alu-
minium vacuum grid at the bottom side. While a label is dispensed, the small blow pipe is activated,
creating a small focused air stream to force the label against the aluminium grid. When the label is
fully dispensed, it is held onto the aluminium grid by the inwards airflow and is then stand-by to blow
off the label. When the application cycle is triggered by the product sensor, a high volume air pres-
sure is applied through the air nozzles built-in above the aluminium grid. The nozzles which are
not covered by the black sliding bars will now blow off the label towards the product at a high ve-
locity. After that, the next label can be dispensed on the grid.
