Palomar Mountain Spring Water wanted to increase production by 50%.
Palomar Mountain Spring Water, Inc., an independent water bottler in Corona, Calif., wanted to increase production by 50%. The company installed a new polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottling line that began operating in July 1999. Palomar Mountain Spring Water worked with Priority One Packaging Machinery, Ontario, Canada, and selected a unique labeling system, the Langguth E62 wraparound hot melt labeler, to help meet its production goal.
The Langguth E62 can label all types of containers made from glass, PET or metal, with full wraparound-label application. It can be used for round, as well as square or rectangular containers. The speed range for the various models is from approximately 30 containers per minute to 1,000 containers per minute, depending on the shape and size of the container. The E62 labeler at Palomar Mountain Spring Water primarily labels 1/2-liter PET bottles but can handle a wide range of container types and sizes.
