2 Tradition, innovation and customer proximity our advantage lies in perfect interaction GERNEP tailor-made labelling machines for the beverage, food, pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetic industries With more than 30 years of specialised experience in the development and construction of customised rotary labellers, the name GERNEP is synonymous with reliability, functionality and flexibility. The labelling diversity for all kinds of glass, plastic or metal containers and a wide variety of contour containers is very convincing in all areas. We offer tailored customer solutions Our labelling machinery conforms to the "Made in Germany" traditional engineering excellence. In our factory at Barbing in Bavaria, we develop and manufacture our machines for the global market. By virtue of our flexibly designed machines from the basic construction of our series of machines to the specialised drives and possibilities of using practically-oriented additional equipment on its own or in combination, GERNEP labelling machines are the flexible answer to the increasingly demanding forms of labelling and their efficient realisation in all performance classes. Our gluing systems Cold glue labelling For traditional cold glue labelling from the magazine, we employ our proven oil-bath-lubricated, high performance labelling aggregate with a stainless steel glue roller and rubberised, changeable glue pallets. An innovative pallet adjustment system ensures an optimal glue pattern. The glue-saving fine adjustment of the glue thickness ensures trouble-free continuous operation and perfect label positioning. GERNEP SK aggregate for self-adhesive labels from the roll 2 GERNEP Pre-Cut hot melt aggregate for wrap-around labelling with precut labels from the magazine GERNEP Cold gluing aggregate with high-end technology GERNEP Rollfed hot melt aggregate for labels from the roll Hot melt labelling from the magazine Glue is applied economically as spots by the GERNEP HotSpot nozzle system directly on the container that takes the label from the magazine. The end gluing takes place on the label. Different label heights are compensated for by activating and deactivating individual nozzles. Hot melt labelling from the roll The labels are cut from the roll on a vacuum cutting drum and passed to a vacuum transfer drum. Here the glue is applied economically as spots to the start of the label and the end gluing ledge by the GERNEP HotSpot nozzle system. Self-adhesive labelling The intelligent loop, guide and tension roller system ensures accurate tracking of the label carrier up until precise transfer to the container. Optional splicing units or non-stop label applicator arrangement provide uninterrupted continuous operation. 3

10 Our additional equipment can be set up in a modular and flexible way for all equipment and control requirements Because of our modular machine construction kit system we are in a position to take optional additional equipment into consideration at the planning stage if required. Subsequent upgrades and conversions can be implemented quickly and rationally in this way. Bottle plate control system Depending on the machine model and the requirement, the bottle plates are controlled either mechanically via cam segments, an efficient belt drive or computer-controlled servo motors. This means that many different containers can be turned in accordance with specifications for any labelling requirement and the label applied perfectly. Camera-based container orientation For orienting bottles and other containers to: glass seams, reliefs, clip-locks and orientation marks. Clamping star In the event of frequent set-up changes with bottles with small diameter differences, we can equip our machines with clamping stars in the inlet and discharge if required. Clamping stars are also used with targeted cup fixing for applicating sealing, clip-lock and tax labels as well as with camera-based or photoelectronic orientation. Non-stop function with self-adhesive labelling Non-stop function with 2 dispensers per label, free-standing loop pre-winder or free-standing automatic splicer for uninterrupted continuous operation. Camera-based label monitoring For monitoring the presence and fixation of labels we supply individual inspection solutions and completing with ejection systems such as bad part pushers or segment removal. Mechanical orientation of clip-lock bottles For the precise orientation and labelling of clip-lock bottles, our machines can be equipped with an orientation star at the bottle inlet in the factory or retrofitted with one in the field. The label is gently brushed on in the machine and at a separate pressing station at the discharge star. Mechanical container orientation Individually adapted solutions for containers with a bottom or side notch are available for mechanical container orientation. Containers with handles or dosing heads can also be reliably oriented. Photo-electronic container orientation Our photo-electronic container orientation with surrounding sensors is the economical solution for aligning to distinctive features such as sparkling wine cap marks. Metal foil application The GERNEP metal foil application system consisting of a magazine and palette set and a separate brushing station is designed for under top and over top foiling on the neck of the bottle. Positioning takes place exactly in line with the front label. The label is pressed on in a gentle and visually perfect way in the closure and neck area in the brushing station. Sealing strip and cap labelling Sealing and cap labels with and without a sealing tab are applied to any kind of container by a separate labelling aggregate that meets the respective requirements. Gluing takes place using wet glue or a self-adhesive labels. Tax strip labelling In order to process tax strip labels on bottles of wine and spirits, we supply a special aggregate for wet glue labelling that is integrated in the machine. Like all of our additional equipment, this labelling facility is available from the factory immediately or can be prepared for retrofitting. Dating / coding We can apply control and test data such as code numbers, batch and content information and the date and other information to almost any part of a label or bottle using our dating equipment. Depending on requirements, we use an inkjet printer, a laser printer or a thermal transfer printer
