I.Features of Ruiyang Automatic Labeling Machine
- After nearly a decade of research by the company’s senior engineers, the REYO series automatic labeling machine of Ruiyang Company takes the lead in adopting technology from a professional German company. With years of dedicated accumulation, it integrates excellent quality and innovative concepts into every detail of the labeling machine, truly achieving perfect labeling.
- The labeling system is connected to the production line via a rotary encoder. Equipped with a learning function, the system can automatically detect the dimensions of products and labels, and use the high-speed computing function of the CPU to ensure that the centerlines of labels and products are perfectly aligned.
- Thanks to the tracking by the rotary encoder, the labeling action is not affected by speed, which avoids the impact of various factors (such as voltage fluctuations and system damping changes) on labeling accuracy.
- The high-precision Schneider (France) servo system enables the system to have high responsiveness and extremely high reliability, providing you with worry-free operation.
- All components of the machine adopt a unique surface treatment technology, ensuring they never rust.
- The application of multiple patented technologies ensures that the REYO labeling machine always maintains a leading position in technology. Our strength lies in "making greater efforts to leverage our advantages and pursuing true excellence in every detail".
- All parts are produced through specialized manufacturing. The company has multiple advanced machining centers, with machining accuracy far ahead of peers. It is the only labeling machine manufacturer in China that adopts machining centers for production.
- Labeling machines are the company’s sole product. For this, we have made efforts for more than a decade, accumulated extensive experience, and now have over 1,000 sets of equipment operating continuously in the market.
- The REYO labeling machine is the only labeling machine in the world that adopts dual pressure rollers for active label feeding. This working method can effectively tension the label before actively feeding it out, which prevents label breakage caused by die-cutting damage to the label. At the same time, since the label remains in a tensioned state in the label output section, it facilitates the use of label detection equipment such as cameras.

Independent Electrical Control Cabinet
It is waterproof, moisture - proof, and dust - proof. Equipped with an independent air - conditioning cooling system, it can adapt to more working environments and better protect the electrical safety of the equipment.
Label Station Assembly
- Adopts an independent servo unwinding system. Cooperates with an automatic deviation corrector and an independent servo label - feeding roller to achieve a label - feeding accuracy of ~1mm. An independent servo controls the label - suction vacuum drum. The self - developed gluing system is perfectly combined with the vacuum drum to ensure labeling accuracy. Electric lifting makes the operation simple, convenient, and time - saving.
- The internal part adopts a helical gear transmission design: The gear engagement contact surface is large, the gap is small, the precision is high, it is wear - resistant, the force is uniform, and the torque is large.
- The equipment runs in full - automatic mode. Start, stop, and arrangement are controlled by the frequency converter adjusting the speed according to the bottle feeding volume. By default, no label is fed without a bottle, and no glue is applied without a label.
Label - feeding Disk
- An independent servo cooperates with a buffer clutch for unwinding to ensure the stability of label feeding. The label disk has an air - expanding and tensioning structure. The valve switch control operation is convenient, reducing the label changing time. The 304SUS support structure is stable and durable.
Deviation Corrector
- Cooperates with an independent servo label - feeding roller through an automatic deviation corrector to achieve a label - feeding accuracy of ±0.3mm. The label inclination angle is ≤1° to ensure the stability of label cutting.
Vacuum Cutter Drum
- The cutter uses imported German materials, which are high - temperature resistant and wear - resistant. The self - developed cutter drum adopts a constant - temperature cooling method, so that the cutter does not generate heat during high - speed operation, prolonging the service life cycle. The non - breakage rate is ≤1%, and the cutting accuracy is ~1mm.
Vacuum Label - suction Drum and Suction Block
- Controlled by an independent servo, the vacuum drum and the cutter drum cooperate synchronously for a smooth transition. The leading internal vacuum circuit design of the drum ensures stable label suction and avoids label falling. Additionally, it is equipped with a label detection function. If the label falls, an alarm will be triggered and the machine will stop.
- The integrally formed suction block has high precision, fundamentally solving the problem of slot precision differences. It has good flatness for uniform gluing. The surface is treated with a non - stick glue special process to solve the problem of residual glue. Made of aluminum alloy, it is durable, cost - effective, and the labeling effect is more beautiful.
Glue - applying Roller
- Adopts a honeycomb - type glue - applying roller, and glues in a rolling manner. The thickness of the glue can be adjusted. The glue application amount is 1.2 - 1.6 silk (about 80,000 labels per kilogram).
- Self - developed fluid diversion and return gluing technology, no glue 甩 (甩: fling) off, no residual glue, and the glue can be recycled to reduce costs. The non - contact heat source inside the glue roller effectively protects the label from being scalded. High - temperature - resistant bearings and heat - dissipating materials ensure stable operation.
Label - Smoothing Mechanism
An arc - shaped baffle embedded with a bristle brush is customized according to the label size. The brush has a design of short front and long rear bristles, so that when labeling starts, the bottles enter smoothly without label jamming. It cooperates with the label - suction rotating drum for edge - turning and edge - attaching. The label is always kept in a tight state, and the high precision of the label seam makes the product more attractive.
Dual - Human - Machine Interface
- Both the main and auxiliary touch screens are of the Schneider brand. The interfaces and parameters of the two are interconnected to control the equipment. The auxiliary touch screen can be moved for operation, which is convenient for machine adjustment. Personnel do not need to walk back and forth, saving machine adjustment time.
Pressure - free Bottle Feeding: (A/B Mode Compatible)
- Mode A: No - screw star wheel feeding and bottle discharging are customized 1:1 with the product. The positions in contact with the product are polished. The central guide plate is inlaid with sliding strips, effectively preventing bottle body scratching. The star wheel is equipped with an overload device. In case of bottle jamming or other external force factors, it will automatically alarm and stop, with good safety. After troubleshooting, reset the star wheel and start the equipment to run normally. Applicable to: round bottles, conical bottles (small angle).
- Mode B: The screw and star wheel cooperate for bottle feeding, using ultra - high molecular weight materials customized 1:1 with the product. The star wheel is equipped with an overload device. In case of bottle jamming or other external force factors, it will automatically alarm and stop, with good safety. After troubleshooting, reset the star wheel and start the equipment to run normally. Applicable to: conical bottles (large angle), elliptical bottles, square bottles, special - shaped bottles, glass bottles, metal containers, etc.
Bottle Stopping and Intercepting Mechanism
- 3M in front of and behind the bottle inlet and outlet of the equipment are equipped with online photoelectric eyes to detect whether the production line materials are sufficient. When there is a lack of materials in the front section or the rear section is full, the PLC receives the signal and immediately controls the cylinder to start bottle stopping. The equipment instantly runs from high speed to low speed or enters a standby sleep state to save equipment energy consumption. When receiving the online photoelectric eye signal again, the cylinder stops bottle stopping, and the equipment automatically rises from low speed to high - speed operation state. Automatic control requires no manual operation.
Bottle Pressing Mechanism
- Adopts a three - stage pull - spring structure to ensure vertical up - and - down movement, uniform force on the product, and high stability. Electric lifting adjustment saves manpower and time.
Workbench and Lubrication System
