What a Site Visit Looks Like

Calling out a technician should not feel like a gamble. Before anyone travels, we want enough information to arrive with the right parts in the van rather than diagnosing on your time and then ordering.

Before the visit

  • Machine model, aggregate type and rough age
  • What the defect looks like on the finished container
  • When it started and whether anything changed on the line beforehand
  • Line speed, container and label stock
  • Photos or a short video of the machine running, if you can get one safely

A short video is often worth more than a long phone call. Seeing the transfer happen at speed usually tells us in seconds what a description takes twenty minutes to narrow down.

On the day

Work ranges from a single part swap through to a full teardown and rebuild of an aggregate. Where it is practical we will show your maintenance team what we are doing and why, so the same fault does not need a call-out next time. If we find something beyond the original scope, you hear about it before we start on it — not on the invoice.

After the visit

You get a plain description of what was wrong, what was replaced or rebuilt, and what we would keep an eye on next. If a component is close to end of life but not there yet, we will tell you so you can plan the changeover instead of reacting to it.

We cover cold glue, hot melt, Canmatic and pressure sensitive machines. If you are not sure whether a problem needs a visit or can be solved with a part and a phone call, ask — a good share of them turn out to be the latter.

Trying to stop these faults before they start? See our labeler preventive maintenance guide — inspection cadence, wear items by machine type, what to keep on the spare parts shelf, and when a rebuild beats running to failure.

Comprehensive Care for Your Entire Krones Labeling Fleet

One team for every Krones labeling platform you run.

A bottling line is rarely simple; it is often a complex ecosystem of different labeling technologies. Whether you are running the high-speed precision of a Solomatic (Cold Glue), the thermal dynamics of a Contiroll (Hot Melt), the delicate application of an Autocol (Pressure Sensitive), or the shrink-sleeve technology of a Sleevematic, you need a service partner who speaks the entire language.

We simplify the complexity of mixed-technology lines.

Our on-site service team provides holistic support for the full range of Krones labeling equipment. We eliminate the need for specialized contractors for every different machine type. By understanding the interplay between different labeling aggregates, bottle handling parts, and control systems, we deliver:

  • Universal Diagnostics: Whether it is a glue pallet wear issue on a Topmatic or a sensor fault on a linear machine, our technicians troubleshoot the root cause, not just the symptom.
  • Changeover Mastery: We streamline changeovers across all machine types, ensuring your team can switch from cold glue to self-adhesive or reel-fed labels with minimal downtime and maximum repeatability.
  • Total Line Harmonization: We don’t just fix the labeler; we optimize the infeed and discharge conditions to ensure your labeler—regardless of type—runs smoothly within the larger line.
  • Legacy to Modular: From classic mechanical workhorses to the latest ErgoModul systems, we have the tooling and the know-how to keep them running like new.

Your production floor has enough moving parts. Let us be the single, reliable solution for all your labeling maintenance and service needs.

Krones Labeling Machine Service FAQ

Which Krones labeling machines does LES service on-site?

We service cold glue labelers (Solomatic, Topmatic, Starmatic), hot melt labelers (Contiroll, Canmatic), pressure sensitive labelers (Autocol, APS aggregates, Vinetta), in-line labelers (Rotina, Polymatic, Rondella), Sleevematic shrink-sleeve machines and modular platforms such as Ergomodul.

What should I send before a technician visits my Krones labeling machine?

The machine model, aggregate type and rough age; what the defect looks like on the finished container; when it started and whether anything changed on the line; line speed, container and label stock; and photos or a short video of the machine running, if you can get one safely.

Can you rebuild a Krones labeling machine aggregate instead of replacing it?

Yes. Work ranges from a single part swap through a full teardown and rebuild of an aggregate, done on-site or through our Exchange Program.

Does every labeler problem need a site visit?

No. A good share of problems turn out to be solvable with a part and a phone call. If you are not sure, call LES at 800-391-4867.
