1. Workflow of an Automatic Hot Melt Glue Paper Can Tube Sticker Labeling Machine

This machine is designed to apply labels (usually paper or film-based) onto cylindrical paper can tubes using hot melt glue. The labeling process is fully automated and follows these steps

a. Loading of Paper Can Tubes

• Input of Paper Can Tubes: Paper can tubes are fed into the machine either manually or via an automated feeding system. The tubes are then positioned correctly to receive the label.

b. Label Feeding

• Label Supply: Pre-cut labels are loaded onto a label feeding system or supplied as part of a roll (in roll-fed machines). The labels are usually made of paper or film suitable for hot melt glue application.

• Label Alignment: The machine’s sensors ensure that each label is aligned correctly before being applied to the can tube, ensuring precise placement.

c. Hot Melt Glue Application

• Glue Heating: The hot melt glue is heated in a glue pot to the optimal temperature, keeping it in a liquid state for smooth application.

• Glue Application: A thin layer of hot melt glue is applied to specific areas on the label (usually along the leading and trailing edges). The glue is typically applied via rollers or spray nozzles.

d. Label Wrapping on the Tube

• Label Positioning: The label is accurately positioned and wrapped around the cylindrical paper can tube. The leading edge of the label is glued to the tube, and the rest of the label is smoothly wrapped and adhered to the tube.

• Sealing the Label: As the label is wrapped around the tube, the trailing edge is pressed firmly against the tube, ensuring the label is fully adhered with no air bubbles or wrinkles.

e. Finished Product Collection

• Label Inspection: Some machines are equipped with sensors or cameras to inspect the label quality, ensuring proper alignment, adhesion, and absence of defects.

• Output and Collection: The labeled tubes are automatically ejected or transferred to a conveyor for further packaging or processing.

f. Repeat Process

• The process is repeated continuously for each tube, making the system highly efficient for mass production.
