Daco TD350 / 430 Plain Label Converting Line
The Daco TD350 / 430 plain label converting line is the ideal machine for converting labels automatically with little operator input. The machine is equipped with a high capacity UL 1m (39.37″) unwind and a 4 spindle fully automatic turret rewinder and optional flexographic print unit(s).
Benefits
The Daco TD plain-label converting line is ideal for converting labels automatically with little operator input. The machine is equipped with a high capacity UL 1m (39.37″) unwind to keep master roll changes to a minimum. The 4 spindle turret offers quick change over time, which, coupled with a touch screen HMI operator interface, makes the machine interactive and user-friendly. The machine can be configured with either 1 or 2 servo-driven rotary die stations.
The Daco TD’s SVT turret module utilises a unique patented double-sided tape system for attaching the web to the cores, and the finished rolls are closed using a label printed by an onboard thermal transfer printer. This eliminates the need for expensive and complicated hot melt gluing systems, which often cause problems for both machine operators and end-users. Electronic job storage, intuitive touchscreen control, and minimal mechanical settings make the machine very simple to set up and operate.
The operator can select from either length or a given number of labels per roll, and the machine will then automatically cut and transfer the web to the cores without stopping.
The Daco TD plain-label converting line has a host of optional equipment, enabling you to specify a very adaptable plain-label converting line now and in the future because of its modular construction.
The machine is suited to the growing thermal transfer market where quick make-ready, high production speeds, and little operator input are vital to producing good profit margins.
With the addition of flexo print unit(s), the machine can manufacture weigh scale, colour-washed, and retail labels all in one pass.

Standard Features
Web width: 350mm (13.75”) or 430mm (17″)
UL350 Cantilevered Unwind Module
- Maximum unwind diameter: 1m (39.37″).
- 76mm (3″) air mandrel.
- Automatic roll lift.
- Merobel electromagnetic particle brake.
