Introduction
The LX-150 is designed for middle, full-body, and cap applications. It is intended for low to
moderate production rates in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceutical,
nutraceutical, health and beauty, and other manufactured goods. It can also be used for
horizontal or vertical perforation of shrink labels and seals.

General Overview
The LX-150 works together with the UR-1 Unwind System, which holds a supply spool of
flattened label film. The UR-1 feeds the label film to the LX-150. The label film enters the
Dancer, which evens out the tension on the label film.
From the Dancer, the label film goes over the Top Rollers, down onto the Mandrel Fin, and
down the length of the Mandrel. As the film passes through the Cutter Assembly, it is cut to the
correct label size, and then the Applicator Wheels at the bottom of the Mandrel shoot the cut
label down onto the passing bottle.
The LX-150 only applies the labels. It does not shrink them onto the bottles. That must be done
by immediately sending the labeled bottles through a Heat Shrink Tunnel. The appropriate type
of Heat Shrink Tunnel used will vary based on the label film, the bottle material, and the product
inside the bottle. Heat Shrink Tunnel options include:
•
Electric radiant heat: AFM GS Series or OAL Series
•
Electric convection heat: AFM ES-200
•
Steam heat: AFM WSN Series or WSN Gen-S.
Your AFM distributor can help you determine the best Heat Shrink Tunnel for your needs.
