Krones VARIOMATIC Used Bottle Labeler 7000 bph

Technical Specifications & Performance Data Used Bottle Labeler Krones VARIOMATIC 7000 bph suitable for integration in a used bottling line for beverage production and other industrial packaging applications. This second hand rotary labeler combines cold-glue and self-adhesive technologies to cover a wide range of products and label materials. Manufacturer / Model: Krones VARIOMATIC Year of manufacture: 1998 Nominal speed: up to 7,000 bottles per hour (bph) Container type: Glass bottles Bottle format: 0.75 L (typical wine and sparkling formats) Labeling technologies: 4 stations total – 3 cold-glue stations + 1 self-adhesive (PSL) station No. of plates / bottle platforms: 4 Label materials: Paper (cold glue) and pressure-sensitive labels Optical centering system: Not included (mechanical centering per OEM configuration) Electrical: 220 V, 20 A, three-phase Condition: In storage Documentation: Manuals available Safety: Safety features and guards included Advanced Automation & Control Systems The Krones VARIOMATIC platform is recognized for robust automation in labeling operations. The machine features synchronized drives to maintain precise bottle handling and label application at variable speeds aligned with upstream rinsing and filling and downstream capping and packing equipment. The operator interface enables straightforward setup of speed, label application parameters, and machine interlocks. Electrical requirements are modest at 220 V / 20 A, facilitating straightforward connection within existing control cabinets. Safety interlocks and guarding are provided to ensure secure operation during routine changeovers and cleaning. Production Line Integration Capabilities Engineered for integration within complete used bottling lines, this labeler can be synchronized with conveyors, rinsers, fillers, cappers, inspection systems, and case packers. While optimized for glass containers, it can be incorporated into mixed-material beverage production plants where other stations may process PET bottles or aluminum cans, using appropriate accumulation and transfer solutions. Format changes are supported through exchange parts and parameter adjustments, allowing efficient transitions between label types or product SKUs on the same line. Machine Condition & Maintenance History The unit is currently in storage, with a visual condition consistent with careful deinstallation. Manuals are supplied to support commissioning, preventive maintenance, and spare-parts identification. Krones’ global support network and the wide availability of standard components simplify maintenance and lifecycle service planning for long-term operation in industrial packaging environments. Operational Performance & Versatility This versatile labeler supports multi-product beverage production: water (still and sparkling), juice, soft drinks, tea, beer, wine (still and sparkling), spumante, spirits, and liqueurs, as well as non-beverage applications such as oil, vinegar, dairy, and detergents. Dual technology (cold-glue and self-adhesive) enables the use of paper labels for traditional presentations and PSL labels for premium branding or smaller runs. For 0.75 L glass bottles, the 7,000 bph capacity provides strong throughput while preserving label placement quality and consistency. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Prepare a level, vibration-free floor with adequate operator access around the machine perimeter for cleaning and changeovers. Provide infeed/outfeed conveyor runs that allow smooth accumulation and transfer to and from rinsing, filling, and capping blocks. Electrical supply must meet 220 V, 20 A three-phase requirements. Depending on the chosen label materials and applicator configuration, utilities may include compressed air and a cold-glue system with appropriate storage and cleaning facilities. Ensure ambient conditions compatible with label adhesives and hygienic operation. Safety Standards & Compliance Certification Safety guarding, emergency stops, and interlocked access doors are included to protect operators during production and maintenance. The machine design follows industry safety and hygiene practices for beverage plants, supporting cleanable surfaces and safe operation alongside rinsing, filling, and capping processes. Final conformity with local regulations and standards for machinery safety and food-contact packaging areas should be verified during installation and commissioning.
