UCAT Label Unwinders: Increase Your Production Line’s Utility & Economy!

If you’re still using a standard supply roll size for your label production printer, you are likely missing out on potential savings experienced while printing larger batches at scale. You can easily achieve this increased economy by simply adding a UCAT Label Unwinder to feed larger supply rolls than typically accepted for most printers. Adding a label unwinder means you won’t need to change supply rolls as frequently, saving you time and money through enhanced efficiency.

Labelmate USA has many powered and non-powered options within our UCAT Label Unwinders line of products.  All our unwinders provide the optimal solution for controlling unruly supply rolls feeding into your printer. Let’s explore the options so you can determine which label unwinder will work for your needs.

The first variable to examine when choosing your label unwinder is the amount of tension control you are looking for when feeding your supply roll into your printer:

• Powered Unwinders: Eliminate stress on your printer by utilizing a sensor arm to start & stop the unwinder in sync with the printer.
• Non-Powered Unwinder: Limited or no tension control (depending on model) but gives flexibility in placement as these units do not require a power adapter.

After deciding if you need a powered or non-powered solution, the next variables to consider include your maximum roll diameter needs, maximum label width and the style of core holder you prefer:

• UCAT-40: Powered Unwinders are able to accommodate a maximum roll diameter of 16”. These units utilize mechanical core-chuck holders. Choose the model that fits your needs based on label widths from 6.5”, 8.5”, or 10”.
• UCAT-3: Powered Unwinders used with maximum roll diameters of 12”. Available with fin-style, mechanical core-chuck, or 1”-4” adjustable core holder options. Choose the model that fits your needs based on label widths from 6.5”, 8.5”, or 10”.
• UCAT-S: Non-Powered Unwinder with no tension control accommodating a maximum roll diameter of 12”. Comes standard with a 3” fin-style core holder for labels up to 6.5” wide.
• UCAT-1: Non-Powered Unwinders with small amount of adjustable tension. Available with fin-style, mechanical core-chuck, or 1”-4” adjustable core holder options. Choose the model that fits your needs based on label widths from 6.5”, 8.5”, or 10”.

As you can see, we have a robust line of UCAT Label Unwinders to fit seamlessly into any production line. For the ultimate utility, combine your unwinder with one of our label rewinders positioned at your printer’s output to automatically rewind your printed large batch label rolls!
