Even the most reliable machines need a little care from time to time. Regular maintenance of your Solo Labeller machine ensures consistent performance, prolongs lifespan, and prevents costly breakdowns. Here are 5 key signs that your labelling machine might need some attention:

1. Label Misalignment If your labels are not sticking in the correct position such as too high, too low, or crooked this could be a sign of sensor misalignment, worn-out rollers, or shifting label guides. Proper calibration or realignment can restore precision instantly.

2. Inconsistent Label Application Are some products labelled while others are missed entirely? This inconsistency may point to sensor failure, timing issues, or improper product placement. Early detection helps avoid wasted labels and missed outputs.

3. Frequent Jams or Downtime Unexpected stops, label feed jams, or materials getting stuck during operation often indicate mechanical wear, debris build-up, or incorrect material loading. Regular cleaning and timely part replacements can prevent major interruptions.

4. Unusual Noises Grinding, squeaking, or knocking sounds are never a good sign. These noises may come from loose bolts, dry bearings, or misaligned parts. Ignoring these early warnings can lead to costly repairs down the line.

5. Slower Performance If your machine begins to operate slower than normal, it could be due to a need for lubrication, cleaning, or worn parts. Reduced speed affects overall productivity and should be addressed promptly.

Solo Labeller machines are designed for easy access and maintenance. Most issues can be quickly resolved with simple adjustments, regular cleaning, and occasional part replacements. Keep your labelling system in top shape and your business running smoothly.
