Section 3: Loading the Container
The AP360/362 can apply labels to a variety of containers including wine bottles, soda bottles, jars, cans, etc. Depending on the container type that you are labeling, you have several different options. You may use the Container Pressure Arm to hold the containers against the rollers, but that may not be necessary. You may use one or both of the Container Guides. Use these steps as a guide for applying labels. Ultimately, you will find the method that is fastest for you, which may or may not include use of the Container Pressure Arm and/or one or both Container Guides.
1.Lift the Container Pressure Arm to a height well above the imagined height of the container.

2. Position the Container Idler Roller so | Figure |
that the container is at the highest | Container Idler Roller |
possible position that is still stable. | |
There are four optional positions for |
|
the Container Idler Roller provided |
|
by the notches in the side plates. |
|
If the Container Idler Roller is |
|
spaced too far from the Container |
|
Drive Roller the container will be |
|
positioned too low for the label to |
|
be applied. This will cause the label |
|
to fold, wrinkle, or eject above the |
|
container. The smaller the diameter |
|
of the container, the closer the rollers |
|
need to be positioned to each other. |
