Sleevematic TS labelling system

Successful cooperation for more than 25 years
A wide range of igus products are used in the Sleevematic TS. From lubrication-free drylin polymer nuts in the belt station and sleeve brush, and drylin profile guides in the inlet and outlet sensor, up to drylin SLW lead screw lift tables in the preliminary shrinkage process and for height-adjustment of the guide rollers.

Innoket Neo labelling machines

High precision and extremely high speed
In addition to corrosion resistance and hygiene, speed plays an important role for this machine as up to 60,000 bottles are labelled every hour. Lubrication-free drylin W linear guides are used here.
KHS GmbH

Tubular bag packing machines

Easy to install and easy to clean
Hastamat from Germany uses our company's products for its bag forming, filling and sealing machines. Lubrication-free and maintenance-free drylin linear guides defy adverse environmental influences.

Thermoformer PowerPak

Cost-effective, lubrication-free and requiring little maintenance
Resistance to temperature fluctuations and cleaning agents, as well as hygiene and cost-efficiency are important criteria for the selection of machine components from CFS.B. V. In this packaging machine, FDA-compliant iglidur® A180 bearings and temperature-resistant iglidur® X bearings are used.

Nappy production machines

Problem-free movement
In nappy production, machine elements have to function in rough ambient conditions. Lubrication-free linear bearings that are insensitive to dirt have been installed in very different places in the nappy production machines.

Palletiser

Short installation time, long service life
Beyer Maschinenbau GmbH was looking for an energy supply system that provides the stability and durability needed in its beverage machines. Our e-chain E4.1L does more than meet this requirement. Due to its design, it is easy to fill and assemble while being cable-friendly at the same time. It therefore shortens assembly times and ensures long-lasting cables.

Fully automatic labellers

Today, reliable and efficient machines are required for the labelling of products. What matters is a combination of speed, precision and flexibility. A failure of the labeller? That would be annoying and on top of that very costly. Bluhm Systeme GmbH therefore not only develops fully automated marking systems with labels, inkjet or laser, it also relies on durable and maintenance-free drylin® linear bearing technology.
