Skaalvenn Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Cleaning out the distillery and looking to move some stuff. I can be contacted by direct message, or if you google "Skaalvenn Distillery" you can call that number. RACE LABELER IS SOLD! The first item is a Race RL1 labeler. It's a good hand labeler that will put the label on straight every single time. Race labelers are extremely well designed, built, and their customer service is amazing. These new are about $1600, selling this one for $950 plus shipping. https://www.racelabel.com/rl-1/ RACE LABELER IS SOLD! RACE LABELER IS SOLD! Next is a MEB semi-automatic labeler. This company is either out of business, or has been bought out. However, the thing is built like a friggin tank and should last for many more years. We had the rubber drive rollers re-rubbered a couple years ago (cost us about $400). We have had some trouble with getting this to apply labels straight, but we have an extremely large label measuring 4.25" high x 9.00" long. We also could never get the auto-winder to work right on the waste paper reel, but I think that was also due to our large label (with the long label it means any labeler we have must operate completely straight or else issues happen). We have used this for labeling around 20,000 bottles, we since upgraded to a fully-automatic line. The operation of this is simple, stick the bottle in the rollers and it hits a microswitch which starts the action. It is capable of doing a front/back label, but I have never used it for that. Feel free to mail us some labels and a few bottles and we'll send video if it in operation. Price is $1500 FOB 55428, weight is about 140 pounds so it has to go freight. Next is a Schneider Electric 2510KR2H explosion proof switch that we ended up not using. It's brand new, has never been installed. Retails on Amazon for $385, selling for $300 shipped to lower 48 https://www.schneider-electric.us/en/product/2510KR2H/manual-switch---nema-7%269---3p---toggle-operated---no-indicator---600vac-/ Finally we have an unused 30" .22 micron cartridge filter. These are $90 from St Pats. Open to offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralty Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Do you know if the semi-auto will do a slight taper on a bottle? My label is a similar size to yours and the glass is barely out of cylinder, but enough to be a headache apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd like to send me a small roll of labels and a couple bottles I can test it out for you, send you the video, and the bottles back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FX-10, sold in the USA as "Mini Line 1" from Criveller in California (and supported by phone from Toronto by Criveller Canada). Their manual is out of date, but the premise is that it can do 600 bottles/hour. We are calibrating ours at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! http://www.ferrinoxsnc.it/en/labelling-machines/fx-10 https://store.tcwequipment.com/products/fx-10-labeler?taxon_id=14 It doesn't look like they've changed too much. At $6,500 for a new one, maybe I should raise my price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
