Questions & Answers (FAQ) about Semi-automatic solutions

A semi-automatic machine requires the operator to manually place the product in the machine and start the labelling process. A fully automatic machine is fully integrated into the production line and requires no manual input.

The speed depends on the machine and the speed of the operator, but semi-automatic machines can label significantly faster than fully manual application, often up to several hundred units per hour.

These machines can handle a wide range of products, including bottles, cans, boxes and bags, whether round, oval or square.

No, most semi-automatic machines are very user-friendly and require minimal training to operate.

The machine requires minimal maintenance, but regular cleaning and checking of rollers and applicators helps maintain optimal performance.

Semi-automatic labelling machine for small volumes

With a semi-automatic labelling machine, you can easily feed products by hand, but let the machine do the actual application with precision, reducing the risk of human error.

The machine helps to apply labels to different types of packaging and products with high precision, but it requires an operator to manually place the product in the machine or initiate the labelling process. This makes it ideal for businesses that want to increase their production capacity but don't have the need or budget for fully automated systems. 

How a semi-automatic labelling machine works

Technically, a semi-automatic labelling machine works by an operator placing the product in the machine, after which the machine applies the label by means of the operator pressing a button or a pedal. The machine applies the label quickly and accurately to the product. The machine can handle a wide range of label sizes and shapes and there are those that can apply two different labels, e.g. one label on the front of the bottle and one on the back. There are semi-automatic labelling machines that can apply labels to cylindrical products or square products. This allows you to handle bottles and cans to boxes and bags.

Advantages of a semi-automatic labelling machine

Choosing a semi-automatic labelling machine offers you several advantages, especially if you want a flexible and affordable labelling solution:

  • Increased efficiencySemi-automatic machines increase production speed compared to fully manual labelling, but still allow flexibility.
  • Precision: The machine ensures that the label is placed correctly and evenly on the product, giving a professional result.
  • Reduced manual labour: Although the operator is involved in the process, the machine reduces the need to manually apply each label, saving time and labour.
  • Cost-effectiveIdeal for smaller companies or productions that don't need fully automated solutions but still want to improve production flow.
  • Customisable: Many semi-automatic machines are adjustable to handle different sizes and shapes of labels and packaging.

A semi-automatic labelling machine is a perfect solution for companies looking to increase their efficiency without making a large investment in fully automated systems. It offers a balance between manual control and automatic precision, making it a flexible and reliable tool for many different types of production.
