IML Equipment for Electrostatic Label Placement

In-Mould Labelling, abbreviated IML, integrates a pre-printed label into a plastic product during the moulding process. A robot picks up the label, after which a generator and suitable electrodes create a controlled static charge. The charge holds the label against the grounded mould wall until it becomes part of the moulded product.

The products perform different functions and can be used together:

• CMM (IQ) Easy supplies the high voltage and is Northern Grafics’ most requested IML generator.
• IML Spider distributes the high voltage to up to eight flexible electrodes.
• IML Easycore is used to manufacture a fixed, conductive and shaped IML core.

IML is used for food packaging, cups, lids, tubs, containers, buckets and other moulded plastic products.
