UK-based independent brewery Northern Monk Brew Co has successfully installed a Monarch wraparound labeller from Sovereign Labelling Machines, improving the operational performance of the business and the impact of labelled cans.
Northern Monk is known for its use of traditional monastic brewing values and processes to produce a range of beers that have a progressive approach to ingredients and techniques.
Sovereign is the leading supplier of high-quality labelling and sleeving systems for many different industries and important applications. This includes the vast beverage market, where labelled cans are one of the most prominent forms of product decoration.
The system installed by Northern Monk is a Sovereign Monarch line. It features a linear wrap labeller that precisely and securely applies full-height wraparound labels onto containers. This is preceded by a scroll-fed system that controls the flow of cans, with servo-driven conveyors ensuring a smooth and controlled passage of containers to be labelled throughout the line.
The system is being used to label cans for supermarket retail, special editions, and Patrons Projects beers, which account for around 40% of the beer packed by Northern Monk.
