OMB capsulatrice with labeller

Used OMB ET 1500 Capsuling Machine of 2006, specifically configured as a linear labeller operating from left to right, designed for glass containers. This OMB capsuling machine is equipped with a single rolling head, purpose-built for applying poly-laminate capsules. Beyond its capsuling capability, it integrates a comprehensive labeling system featuring three distinct adhesive stations. These stations enable the application of front labels, back labels, and a wrap-around adhesive government seal. With a stated speed of 1,500 bottles per hour (bph), this OMB ET 1500 unit, manufactured in 2006, offers a robust solution for operations requiring both capsuling and multi-label application. The machine is further outfitted with safety protection mechanisms to ensure operator security during use. This specific second-hand capsuling machine for sale is currently located in Europe and is offered in 'As Is' condition. For those seeking used OMB capsuling machines in an established configuration, this OMB ET 1500 1500 BPH unit provides a direct operational fit.

When inspecting this 2006 OMB ET 1500 capsuling machine, a keen eye for physical condition is paramount. Since it's offered 'As Is' and of a 2006 vintage, start with the rolling head for poly-laminate capsules; check for excessive wear on bearings, rollers, and cam followers, as these are high-stress components. Examine the three adhesive stations thoroughly. Look for residue buildup, signs of glue migration, wear on the label magazines, and the condition of the label dispensing mechanisms. Verify that all label application tools are present and in good repair for front, back, and wrap-around government seals. Pay close attention to the conveyors and bottle handling components for misalignment, excessive wear, or any modifications. The linear left-to-right flow should be smooth and consistent. Regarding spare parts, specifically request a list of commonly replaced wear parts and any available format change parts for different bottle sizes. Red flags would include significant corrosion, bent frames, obvious electrical wiring issues, or non-original modifications that are poorly executed. While safety protection is noted, scrutinize the guarding for completeness, proper interlocking, and any signs of bypass or removal. Confirm the integrity and functionality of E-stops. For a machine of this age, assess the general cleanliness, which often indicates the level of maintenance it received. The description states 'safety protection,' so confirm this isn't just a basic guard but a functionally complete system as per its original design.

Integrating this OMB ET 1500 capsuling machine, with its linear left-to-right flow and 1,500 bph speed, requires careful consideration of the upstream and downstream equipment. Given its specialized functionality with poly-laminate capsules and multi-station adhesive labeling for front, back, and wrap-around government seals, the immediate upstream unit typically would be a filler-corker or filler-stopper. For smooth product transfer, a single-lane container unscrambler should feed into the filler, which then presents bottles to this machine's left side. Downstream, considering the finished product, case packers or tray packers would follow, requiring a buffer zone or accumulation table to handle any minor speed discrepancies and ensure continuous operation. The linear direction simplifies conveyor layout, often just a straight run of chain conveyor for bottles, with a potential 90-degree turn for the discharge section toward packaging. For format changeovers, a potential buyer should inquire about existing starwheels if any (though unlikely on a linear labeller) or specialized guides for different bottle diameters. It’s crucial to ask the seller for any existing bottle handling parts or change parts specific to the bottle types previously run, especially for the rolling head and adhesive stations. Throughput balancing means ensuring the upstream filler-corker can consistently supply 1,500 bph, and the downstream packaging can absorb this rate, to prevent bottlenecks. Accumulation tables prior to this unit are essential to ensure a steady supply, and post-labeling to prevent line stoppages if the downstream unit temporarily falls behind.
