“The LM1005 with a Mandrel is designed for cosmetic, food, cannabis/CBD, and related manufacturers who produce short runs of products sold in squeeze tubes; cosmetics, lotions, shampoos, etc.,” says Chris Wachter, Business Development, for LabelMill. Continuing, Chris says, “more companies are producing shorter runs of more SKU’s, making labeling of tubes an important part of the manufacturing process. Our customer, Merle Norman uses it for many different SKU’s.”

When asked how did you get started making the Mandrel version of the label applicator, Chris says, “we were approached by a dog and cat shampoo manufacturer who need to label tubes. We took our standard round label applicator and integrated the mandrel for tubes. Using our base machine, you can go from a tamp application for flat packages to round module bottle application to mandrel tube application quickly.”

The capability to go from tamp to round to mandrel applicator is a unique feature of the LM1005. I don’t know of any other semi-automatic applicator with this type of feature.
In addition to the quick-change capability, the LM1005 can be integrated with a printer; including the C6500A. When you apply a label, the LM1005 control signals the printer to produce a label and keep the loose-loop going. Watch a thermal label printer integrated with the LM1005 tamp version here:
When asked, “what is the best feature of the LM1005”, Chris says, “What I like best about the LM1005 is how easy it is to use. The first time an operator adjusts the applicator for a new product, it may take a few minutes. Very quickly, however, an operator can make the changes in seconds. With the tube label applicator, the quick-change mandrel makes changing tube sizes very easy and quick to do.”

The Mandrel-based, semi-automatic, label applicator is a unique device; especially given the capability to change this machine into a round bottle or tamp applicator. I don’t know of any other applicators with this type of setup.
