Single-track dispensers

A single-track dispenser is a mechanical device designed to hold a single roll of adhesive labels. By pulling on the liner, the label gradually peels away from its backing and is presented ready to be picked up by the operator. It operates without electrical power and is suitable for manual labelling, packaging, and identification operations.

A single-track dispenser provides a simple, reliable, and compact solution for workstations using only one label reference at a time. It reduces the handling required to peel off labels and facilitates their retrieval. It is particularly suitable for small to medium speeds that do not require electronic dispensing.

A single-track dispenser holds a single roll of labels, while a multi-track model allows for the installation of several reels simultaneously. The single-track is suitable for workstations primarily using a single format or reference. A multi-track dispenser is preferable when the operator needs to regularly alternate between different types of labels.

The reel is installed on the axis of the dispenser, then the tape is engaged in the guiding system. When the operator pulls on the liner, it changes direction at the release plate. The label then separates from its backing and remains accessible to be retrieved and applied manually.

Yes, a manual dispenser can generally accommodate opaque or transparent labels, as it does not rely on an optical sensor to detect them. However, compatibility depends on the dimensions of the reel, the thickness of the liner, and how easily the label separates from its backing.

Yes. Some models are designed to accommodate wide labels and reels. It is necessary to check the maximum accepted width, the outer diameter of the roll, and the inner diameter of the core. A compact dispenser is more suitable for small formats, while a high-capacity model limits reel changes during regular use.

The choice depends on the width of the labels, the outer diameter of the reel, the diameter of the core, and the available space at the workstation. It is also important to consider the speed, the need to move or secure the dispenser, and the constraints of the environment. DERFI can study the used rolls and guide the user towards a compact, high-capacity, wide, or stainless steel model.
