Technical Specifications & Performance Data Used Bottle Labeler Krones
VARIOMATIC 7000 bph suitable for integration in a used bottling line
for beverage production and other industrial packaging applications.
This second hand rotary labeler combines cold-glue and self-adhesive
technologies to cover a wide range of products and label materials.

and guards included Advanced Automation & Control Systems The Krones
VARIOMATIC platform is recognized for robust automation in labeling
operations. The machine features synchronized drives to maintain
precise bottle handling and label application at variable speeds
aligned with upstream rinsing and filling and downstream capping and
packing equipment. The operator interface enables straightforward
setup of speed, label application parameters, and machine interlocks.
Electrical requirements are modest at 220 V / 20 A, facilitating
straightforward connection within existing control cabinets. Safety
interlocks and guarding are provided to ensure secure operation during
routine changeovers and cleaning. Production Line Integration
Capabilities Engineered for integration within complete used bottling
lines, this labeler can be synchronized with conveyors, rinsers,
fillers, cappers, inspection systems, and case packers. While
optimized for glass containers, it can be incorporated into
mixed-material beverage production plants where other stations may
process PET bottles or aluminum cans, using appropriate accumulation
and transfer solutions. Format changes are supported through exchange
parts and parameter adjustments, allowing efficient transitions
between label types or product SKUs on the same line. Machine
Condition & Maintenance History The unit is currently in storage, with
a visual condition consistent with careful deinstallation. Manuals are
supplied to support commissioning, preventive maintenance, and
spare-parts identification. Kronesâ global support network and
the wide availability of standard components simplify maintenance and
lifecycle service planning for long-term operation in industrial
packaging environments. Operational Performance & Versatility This
versatile labeler supports multi-product beverage production: water
(still and sparkling), juice, soft drinks, tea, beer, wine (still and
sparkling), spumante, spirits, and liqueurs, as well as non-beverage
applications such as oil, vinegar, dairy, and detergents. Dual
technology (cold-glue and self-adhesive) enables the use of paper
labels for traditional presentations and PSL labels for premium
branding or smaller runs. For 0.75 L glass bottles, the 7,000 bph
capacity provides strong throughput while preserving label placement
quality and consistency. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation
Prepare a level, vibration-free floor with adequate operator access
around the machine perimeter for cleaning and changeovers. Provide
infeed/outfeed conveyor runs that allow smooth accumulation and
transfer to and from rinsing, filling, and capping blocks. Electrical
supply must meet 220 V, 20 A three-phase requirements. Depending on
the chosen label materials and applicator configuration, utilities may
include compressed air and a cold-glue system with appropriate storage
and cleaning facilities. Ensure ambient conditions compatible with
label adhesives and hygienic operation. Safety Standards & Compliance
Certification Safety guarding, emergency stops, and interlocked access
doors are included to protect operators during production and
maintenance. The machine design follows industry safety and hygiene
practices for beverage plants, supporting cleanable surfaces and safe
operation alongside rinsing, filling, and capping processes. Final
conformity with local regulations and standards for machinery safety
and food-contact packaging areas should be verified during
installation and commissioning.
