Krones Labeler Consultation & Line Audits
We don’t just fix machines; we optimize entire production lines. From free tech support to full-scale electrical upgrades, LES keeps your line running.
Talk to a Tech
Phone calls are free! Just give us a call if you need some assistance on a line upgrade or even troubleshooting. Our team of engineers will be able to walk you through your project.
Audits
LES can conduct a full inspection of your labeler and let you know what needs to be replaced, or what will soon be needed to keep your machine running. You will receive a detailed report with parts lists and pricing.
Electrical Upgrades
Our electrical engineers can upgrade your existing labeler’s components to prevent them from becoming obsolete, including the addition of touch screens and ethernet connectivity on older equipment.
Specialized by Industry
Efficiency is non-negotiable. We support facilities that require precision labeling at high speeds for cans, jars, and bottles.
- High-Speed Setups: Minimize flagging at 600+ BPM.
- Sanitary Rebuilds: Food-grade seals & lubricants.
- Line Control: “Hands-off” upgrades for automatic container flow.
Shelf appeal is everything. We tune Cold Glue and Pressure Sensitive labelers to achieve the perfect "no-label look" and precise orientation, even on wet bottles with varying condensation levels.
- Condensation Management: Wet glue performance tuning.
- Optical Orientation: Servo spotting for embossing/seams.
- Clear-on-Clear: Ultrasonic sensor upgrades.
When a Line Audit Is Worth Doing
Not every labeling problem needs an audit. A single worn part with a clear symptom needs a part. An audit earns its keep when the picture is murkier — when reject rates have crept up over months, when a machine runs fine at one speed and badly at another, or when you are deciding whether to invest in a rebuild versus a replacement.
The question behind most audits
Usually it comes down to one thing: is this machine worth keeping? A new labeler is a very large number. A rebuilt aggregate, a set of change parts and a day of technician time is a much smaller one. The honest answer is not always in our favour, and we would rather tell you a machine has reached the end of its economic life than sell you a rebuild that buys six months.
What we look at
- Actual versus rated line speed, and where the bottleneck really sits
- Reject rate by defect type rather than as one number
- Condition of wear components across the whole cycle, not just the obvious one
- Whether change parts match the containers and labels currently being run
- Maintenance intervals and what is realistically being done between them
What you get back
A written picture of the machine’s condition, a prioritised list of what to address and in what order, and a cost against each item so you can build a budget rather than a wish list. If some of it can wait, we will say which parts can wait and roughly how long.
If you are mid-decision on a capital request and need an independent view of what your existing line can still do, that is exactly the situation this is built for.
