RTC360 automatic labeler
Self-adhesive labels on cylindrical, tapered and flat containers
The RTC360 applies self-adhesive labels around cylindrical, tapered or flat containers, with front and back labels, accuracy of up to 1 mm and up to 40 m/min. With PLC and HMI, it standardizes application, reduces human error and label waste, and adapts to different product formats.
- Application accuracy of up to 1 mm
- Up to 40 m/min
- 7" color HMI and electronic label sensor
- NR-12 (Brazilian machinery safety standard), ABNT NBR 5410 and IP65 protection
What is an automatic labeler
An automatic labeler is a machine that applies self-adhesive labels to bottles, jars, containers and jugs without operator intervention. The product moves along the conveyor, the sensor detects its position and the labeling head applies the label around the container or on its front and back faces, always at the same point, with accuracy of up to 1 mm.
35 years of manufacturing · 60,000+ machines delivered · ISO 9001:2015 · engineering and manufacturing in Ourinhos (São Paulo, Brazil)
To label boxes and packages on a conveyor, see the label applicator. To inspect and rewind label rolls, the automatic rewinder. For the optional printer, the ribbons.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the RTC360 and the rotary labeler?
The RTC360 handles cylindrical, tapered and flat containers, with front and back labels, at up to 40 m/min. The RTC360-12000 rotary labeler is dedicated to cylindrical bottles at high speed, up to 12,000 bottles per hour.
Does the labeler apply front and back labels?
Yes. The RTC360 applies front and back labels on flat containers and wraparound labels on cylindrical containers.
What label width does the RTC360 accept?
Label rolls from 10 to 115 mm wide.
Does the labeler print batch and expiry date?
Yes, with the optional dater or printer, which print the label before application.
What types of packaging does the RTC360 label?
Cylindrical, tapered and flat containers, such as jars, bottles, jugs and drums. Application can be on the side, top or bottom, with wraparound labels or front and back labels.
What is the difference between an automatic labeler and a label applicator?
The labeler applies labels around containers or on the front and back faces of packages. The label applicator applies labels on one face of boxes, trays and packages moving along a conveyor.
Can the labeler work in humid areas?
Yes. The RTC360 has IP65 protection, against dust and water jets, and can be built in AISI 304 stainless steel.
Does it need compressed air?
Yes. The RTC360 uses compressed air at 6 bar, plus 220 V, 60 Hz power. The labeler for sausages and cold cuts uses compressed air at 8 bar.
