610CS Automatic Clamshell Labeling System

Apply one pressure-sensitive label across the top, closure side, and bottom of a clamshell with controlled product handling from entry through wipe-down.

Auto Labe 610CS automatic system for three-sided labeling and sealing of clamshell containers

THE SYSTEM

Built around the container, the closure, and the label

The 610CS is a fully automatic commercial labeling system configured around the product. It combines a Model 110S applicator, Eagle Belt Conveyor, touchscreen HMI, product sensor, hold-down rails, and dedicated wipe-down brushes.

For clamshells, the applicator creates a long label flag in the product path. The moving container captures the adhesive, and the brushes fold the label smoothly over the top, closure side, and bottom.

The same platform can also be changed over for wipe-on top labeling of square boxes and other flat-top products.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

From closed clamshell to three-sided seal

1. Product enters

The closed clamshell travels on high-friction Eagle belts while overhead rails keep it flat and secure.

2. Sensor triggers

A photo-eye detects the leading edge and the Model 110S dispenses a long label flag into the product path.

3. Product captures

The moving container contacts the exposed adhesive and pulls the label from the peel plate.

4. Brushes seal

Top and bottom brushes fold and smooth the label over the top, closure side, and underside.

PRODUCT CONTROL

Designed for repeatable clamshell placement

The 610CS combines adjustable transport, positioning, and wipe-down hardware to guide the package through each stage of the three-sided application.

Six-Belt Conveyor

Six 3/4-inch Eagle belts provide high-friction transport and can be repositioned for different product widths.

Top Hold-Down Rails

Overhead rails keep lightweight or hinged containers closed and stable through the application zone.

Three-Axis Setup

Vertical, lateral, and pitch adjustments align the Model 110S peel plate with the target surface.

Adjustable Side Guides

Rail adjustments keep the product centered without squeezing, binding, or rotating it.

Recipe-Based Controls

The HMI stores drive, applicator, label-delay, and stop-position settings for repeatable changeovers.

Top and Bottom Brushes

Dedicated wipe-down brushes fold the label across the package edges and smooth it onto all three surfaces.

APPLICATION EXAMPLE

610CS Application Examples

BUILT TO CONFIGURE

Operating modes and options

Each 610CS is configured around the container, label placement, production speed, and required changeover range.

Clamshell and top-apply modes

■ Crash-Through Seal: Applies one label across the top, closure side, and bottom of bakery, produce, and other hinged clamshell packages.

Product handling and control

■ Wipe-On Top Apply: Labels square boxes and flat-top products after the bottom brush is moved clear.

■ Adjustable Guides: Side guides and overhead rails position and stabilize products through the label zone.

■ Flexible Applicator Position: Vertical, lateral, and pitch adjustments support product and label changes.

■ Optional Coding: An Open Date hot-foil imprinter can add batch, lot, expiry, or use-by information before application.
