Technical Specifications & Performance Data The SACMI OPERA RA 720 8T S3 is a rotary labeling machine engineered for consistent, high-quality application on glass bottles within demanding beverage production environments. As a second hand solution from a leading manufacturer, it offers reliable performance and ease of integration into a used bottling line. Manufacturer / Model: Sacmi OPERA RA 720 8T S3 Year: 2005 Category: Labeling Machine (rotary) Operational condition: READY FOR OPERATION Production speed: up to 6,000 bottles/hour Container types: Glass Bottle formats: 0.06 L and 0.75 L Number of plates: 8-position rotary carousel Number of labeling stations: 3 (multi-label capability) Label positions: Supports body/front, back, and neck applications Optical centering system: Integrated high-precision sensor-based centering Head adjustment: Fine-adjustable labeling heads for precise alignment Label smoothing: Additional smoothing devices at machine exit Documentation: Manuals available Safety: Safety features included with guards and interlocks Advanced Automation & Control Systems This SACMI OPERA platform combines robust mechanics with advanced automation for repeatable labeling accuracy. A centralized control panel provides intuitive recipe selection, monitoring of labeling parameters, and real-time diagnostics to minimize downtime. The optical centering system ensures precise bottle orientation for branded decoration and alignment-critical labels. Programmable recipes for quick changeovers between 0.06 L and 0.75 L formats PLC-based control with HMI for setpoint management and fault reporting Synchronization with infeed/outfeed conveyors for stable bottle transfer Comprehensive safety guarding, interlocked doors, and emergency stops Designed for continuous-duty operation in industrial packaging environments Production Line Integration Capabilities Engineered to interface seamlessly with upstream rinsing and filling monoblocks as well as downstream capping, inspection, and case packing equipment, this rotary labeler fits naturally into a complete used bottling line. The machine’s modular station layout supports multiple label positions on glass containers, making it a versatile choice for beverage production lines seeking efficient format changes and consistent quality. Compatible with conveyor systems, accumulation tables, and line control signals Fast format change between small (0.06 L) and standard (0.75 L) bottles Suitable for integration alongside rinsing, filling, capping, and inspection systems Ideal for modernization or expansion of existing second hand bottling equipment Machine Condition & Maintenance History The unit is specified as ready for operation, reflecting an overall sound mechanical and automation state. Availability of manuals supports correct installation, setup, and maintenance routines. Condition is appropriate for immediate deployment, with standard preventive maintenance recommended to sustain long-term reliability in continuous beverage production. Operational Performance & Versatility With three labeling stations and optical centering, this machine achieves high-quality results for premium glass-packaged beverages. It is well-suited to products such as water, juice, beer, wine, and spirits, where precise label placement and aesthetics are critical. While designed for glass, the machine may be integrated within wider lines handling other container materials (e.g., PET or aluminum) where labeling is limited to the glass formats specified. The additional exit smoothing devices help ensure consistent adhesion and a clean finish across varying label materials and bottle geometries. Installation Requirements & Site Preparation Prepare a level, vibration-free floor with adequate access for operation and maintenance. Provide suitable infeed/outfeed conveyor interfaces and clearance for guarding and doors. Electrical supply should match industrial three-phase standards as specified in the manuals. Compressed air and, where applicable, adhesive or label stock supply should be arranged per OEM recommendations. Stable foundation with perimeter access for service Electrical: industrial three-phase supply (details per manual) Compressed air: clean, dry air if required by stations Environmental: clean production area suitable for beverage packaging hygiene Safety Standards & Compliance Certification The machine is equipped with fixed and interlocked guards, emergency stop circuits, and safety-rated controls consistent with industrial packaging best practices. Design features support hygienic operation suitable for beverage production, including easy-to-clean surfaces around product-contact zones (bottle support plates and guides). Operators should follow lockout/tagout and routine inspection protocols outlined in the manuals to maintain safe and compliant operation.
