Precision, Efficiency, Durability:
PROTOS, The Future
of Labeling is Here
Technology Is The Key To Efficiency
We solved the #1 production line downtime root cause – the gluing process. Designed for absolute precision, PROTOS’ groundbreaking Synapse Adhesive Extrusion System delivers higher plant efficiency. It cures what all other labelers do – glue slinging!
Why 100% Servo-Driven Technology?
Unlike traditional labeling machines that require constant lubrication and tension adjustments to complex motors, gears, sprockets, and a web of chains, PROTOS harnesses the power of individual servo motors for each labeling function. This innovative design translates to:
Unparalleled Efficiency
100% Servo-Driven which minimizes manual adjustments and replacement of parts.
Reduce Downtime
Unlike yesterday’s high speed roll format labelers, PROTO doesn’t gum up with works.
Glue Precision
Closed, non-recirculating adhesive extrusion system puts glue only where it belongs — on your labels.
Transform Your Labeling
The technology that the team at Elum have brought to PROTOS makes it the best running linear labeler on the market today!
In my 24 hour, 3-day evaluation for the nation’s largest PET bottle producer, I recorded the most consistent glue weights and highest labeling efficiencies that I have ever recorded at any production speed!
PROTOS outperformed all others in my decades of expert packaging consulting including at 700 cpm!
