CS-150 High Production Body/Shoulder Decorator

Fully automatic decoration in 2, 3 or 4 colors at speeds up to 150 bottles per minute

The CS-150 is no longer in production. These specifications are preserved as part of our product history.

The CS-150 is a fully automatic machine that can decorate both body and shoulder areas of beverage bottles with color-to-color registration accuracy of ±0.2 mm; 2, 3 or 4 colors; and speeds up to 150 bottles per minute.

The CS-150 decorator represents the state of the art in high speed screen printing equipment with its carousel-style bottle steady, captured cam loader/unloader and non-contact squeegee safety system. Individual squeegee timing is controlled by means of a programmable controller which provides a highly responsive body and shoulder squeegee operation at each decorating station.

Accessories available for the CS-150 include the Electronic Color Dispenser, Stackers and Single Liners.
