Loading The Container - Primera AP360e Quick Start Manual

Section 3: Loading the Container
The AP360e/362e can apply labels to a variety of containers including wine bottles, soda bottles,
jars, cans, etc. Depending on the container type that you are labeling, you have several different
options. You may use the Container Pressure Arm to hold the containers against the rollers, but
that may not be necessary. You may use one or both of the Container Guides. Use these steps as
a guide for applying labels. Ultimately, you will find the method that is fastest for you, which
may or may not include use of the Container Pressure Arm and/or one or both Container Guides.
1. Lift the Container Pressure Arm to a height well above the imagined height of the container.
Figure 3-1.
2. Position the Container Idler Roller so

that the container is at the highest
possible position that is still stable.
There are four optional positions for
the Container Idler Roller provided
by the notches in the side plates.
If the Container Idler Roller is
spaced too far from the Container
Drive Roller the container will be
positioned too low for the label to
be applied. This will cause the label
to fold, wrinkle, or eject above the
container. The smaller the diameter
of the container, the closer the rollers
need to be positioned to each other.
