The Best Coffee Beans in Franconia Come from the Coffee-Roasting Company Espressone and Are Labelled with Solutions by Weber Marking Systems

“At our outlet and the online store, we sell sustainable coffee under our own brand Espressone,” says Reiner Sulzer. The products can also be labelled with other labels if desired. “We use a semi-automatic label printer applicator made by Weber Marking Systems to label the cans of coffee as quickly and reliably as possible.”

The Geset 141 is a desktop labeller for wrap-around labelling of cylindrical products. It processes labels with widths of 150 or 200 millimetres. Espressone either orders its own label versions in a size of 115 x 310 millimetres from a printing company or prints them in-house with a label printer. The label rolls are easily and quickly inserted into the label applicator.

Round and Round: Labelling Through Rotation

For the actual labelling, an Espressone employee places individual coffee cans onto the unit’s roller track, lays them on their side and fastens them in place with a lever. The Geset 141 is ideal for labelling products with a diameter between 15 and 155 millimetres. Lengths can vary between 30 and 252 millimetres. Espressone coffee cans have a diameter of 99 millimetres and a height of 115 millimetres. Thanks to the three pressure rollers built into the Geset 141, it can also label products with protruding edges.

An ultra-sound sensor detects the beginning of the colourful, white or sometimes transparent labels on the roll. The labels are then partially lifted off the backing. The coffee can is slowly spun, attaching the partly peeled label to the outside of the can. The label is pulled completely off the backing and is automatically smoothed around the can. When labelling has been completed, the employee releases the lever to remove the product.

Espressone only uses one wrap-around label for its coffee cans. Optionally, the Geset 141 could also apply two different labels for the front and back with a gap in between. For this to work, both labels must have the same length. Operators can easily set the desired gap between the labels on the unit’s display screen before starting labelling.
