Conveyor mechanically linked to the drive of the application machine through an indexer (gearbox which advances a specific number of degrees and therefore advances the belt a certain distance every cycle.) Used for applications where a product is fed, either manually or by a robotic device, into the fixture and then presented directly under the sleeve application point. Indexing conveyor application speeds are up to 100 packages per minute due to the issues of inertia when indexing a large mass. Benefit: provides special product handling for unusual applications requiring special positioning or sleeve underlap.

Sensor which confirms that an imprint of a certain graphic density was placed onto the sleeve; not character recognition, which would be done with a vision system. Benefit: provides early detection of issues with date/lot code hot stamp imprinter. Increases productivity by minimizing containers requiring rework.

Heat transfer, ribbon type imprinting system used to print date and/or lot code information on sleeve on the flat web, before application to the product. Benefit: allows for printing directly on sleeve eliminating the need for a separate code dating system, reducing line space.

A system to put consumer perforation where the closure meets the container, allowing the separation of the tamper evident portion from the rest of the shrinksleeve label, which remains on the product. The perforation can be of a range of types in terms of "cut-to land" ratio, which determines its strength and ease of opening. Benefit: provides a tamper evident element to a full sleeve application.

Complete machine enclosure with safety interlocked doors, sometimes built from Bosch components. Standard on larger machines, optional on smaller machines which have compact interlocked guards. Benefit: more comprehensive guarding that keeps operators further from moving parts.

Confirms the timely and correct flow of materials around the cutting and feeding area of the machine. If material is detected for longer than anticipated, the machine is paused. Benefit: quickly detects issues at the cut and feed area and allows for quick clearing, reducing the likelihood of large jams, minimizing downtime.

Sensor which confirms that material is applied to the container and clears the application area in a timely manner. If it detects material longer than anticipated, the machine is paused. Benefit: quickly detects issues at point of application and allows for quick clearing, reducing the likelihood of large jams, minimizing downtime.

Sensors to detect fallen containers at the infeed and/or discharge of a machine, which will pause the unit. Benefit: prevents the jamming of containers and avoids larger jams, reducing downtime.

The optional installation of engraved, lamicoid type labels onto photocells, near motors and sensors, etc. This is in contrast to standard marking which is a permanent laminated printed label, or a laminated hanging tag. Engraved tags are standard on operator panel switches.

Locking cover which allows the padlocking of power switches. Benefit: as per the OSHA guideline, allows for the securing of control power in a safe mode so that a machine can be maintained safely.
