High flexibility with wrap-around labelling
When it comes to decorating containers with wrap-around, reel-fed labels, the Contiroll has been setting the benchmark for many years now. The machine has been designed as a rotary machine and is equipped with a precisely operating labelling station. With regard to efficiency, accuracy and speed, the Contiroll absolutely takes a leading position.
At a glance
- Wrap-around labelling of cylindrical and specially shaped containers
- Precise container fixing using centring bells and container plates
- High-speed access to the user interface through individual transponders
- Remote maintenance is available as an option
Method of operation
In order to tighten the label, the containers are rotated. When the trailing edge is glued down, the secure bond is complete.
A heated glue roller applies a small glue strip to the leading and to the trailing edge of the label.
In the cutting unit, the labels are precisely cut while a computer and servo motor ensure an exact cut-off point.
A feed roller, the speed of which is adjusted to suit the label length, continually pulls the label film from the reel. The label film guider, which is installed as standard, makes sure that the label film is pulled straight.
Three variants for wrap-around labelling
- Output range of 3,000 to 72,000 containers per hour, with only one labelling station, depending on the label length

Benefits to you
User friendliness
The Contiroll features ease of access and ease of operation.
Low glue consumption
Only two narrow strips of hotmelt are required for container decoration, one at the leading edge and the other one at the trailing edge of the label.
Large output range
The machine covers the full range – from the low output range to the highest.
High labelling precision
Fixation of containers between the centring bell and the container plate ensures a highly precise container decoration.
Time savings
Only short change-over times needed when changing container or label type.
Reduced workload for operators
The Multireel C reel-storage magazine which is available as an option enables the Contiroll to work entirely autonomously for up to eight hours.
Future-proof
The Contiroll can be retrofitted and converted also after many years of operation.
This is why the Contiroll with the TS labelling station is enviro-classified
Energy savings
- Up to 25 percent less energy consumption of the Contiroll TS labelling station thanks to the split vacuum system
- Insulation of gluing unit and glue bowl for an increased operational safety and reduction of energy consumption
Media savings
- Controlled and thus economic glue application thanks to the newly developed "Gravure glue application"
- Reduced number of lubrication points
