The YM130 is a compact benchtop semi-automatic labeling machine purpose-built for applying self-adhesive labels to round and cylindrical containers. With a footprint of just 650 × 450 × 500 mm and a net weight of 45 kg, it occupies minimal bench space while delivering automated labeling precision at up to 60 bottles per minute. The machine combines a PLC controller with an HMI color touchscreen, a 304 stainless steel body, a foot-pedal trigger, and a precision roller system that wraps labels smoothly around bottles ranging from 25 mm to 180 mm in diameter.

For small breweries, boutique wineries, craft beverage makers, indie cosmetic brands, home-based businesses, and startup food producers, the YM130 provides the labeling consistency of an automated machine at a fraction of the cost and space requirement of a full production-line system. No compressed air, no conveyor integration, no specialized training—plug into a standard 220V outlet, load a label roll, and begin labeling within minutes.

The YM130 uses a simple semi-automatic workflow that one operator can manage comfortably:

1. Label Feed — The label roll unwinds and feeds through a precision peel plate. As the liner travels around the peel edge, each label separates cleanly and advances into the application zone.

2. Bottle Loading — The operator places a round bottle or cylindrical container onto the motorized rollers. The rollers engage and begin rotating the bottle at an adjustable speed.

3. Label Application — As the bottle rotates, the separated label is fed onto the bottle surface. The roller system presses the label smoothly around the bottle circumference, eliminating bubbles and wrinkles.

4. Repeat — The operator removes the labeled bottle, places the next blank bottle onto the rollers, and triggers the next cycle via foot pedal—keeping both hands free for product handling.

• HMI color touchscreen — intuitive parameter adjustment; store and recall 1000+ product settings in 60–90 seconds
• 304 stainless steel construction — rust-resistant, easy to clean, maintains appearance after years of use
• Foot pedal operation — hands-free triggering lets the operator focus on bottle handling and placement
• No compressed air required — fully electric operation; plug into any standard 220V outlet and start labeling
• Adjustable roller speed and label position — tune the machine to your specific bottle diameter and label size
• Rapid product changeover — tool-free gap adjustment for switching between different bottle diameters
• Compact benchtop design — fits on a standard workbench; moves easily between workstations
• CE and SGS certified — meets international safety standards for EU and global markets
• Pre-shipment tested — each machine undergoes 24-hour mechanical run-in and labeling accuracy verification before crating

The YM130 handles a wide range of round and cylindrical containers:

Q: What bottle sizes can the YM130 handle?

A: Bottle diameter from 25 mm to 180 mm, and bottle height from 30 mm to 300 mm. This range covers everything from small essential oil vials (30 ml) to standard wine bottles (750 ml) to larger round containers up to approximately 2 liters.

Q: How fast can I realistically label bottles with the YM130?

A: While the machine's rated speed is 0–25 bottles per minute, many operators achieve 30–60 bottles per minute in practice depending on bottle size, label length, and operator experience. For sustained production, a realistic expectation is 15–25 bottles per minute for an operator who is also handling bottle loading, unloading, and occasional label roll changes.

Q: Can the YM130 apply full-wrap labels around the entire bottle?

A: Yes. The YM130 applies wrap-around labels that cover the full or partial circumference of the bottle. The label length parameter (20–300 mm) and the machine's roller system ensure smooth, bubble-free wrap application. For very long labels approaching the 300 mm maximum, the operator may need to guide the label slightly during application.

Q: What is the difference between YM130 and the upgrade model YM210?

A: The YM210 (+$2000) is the fully automatic version with a conveyor belt system, automatic bottle feeding and discharging, and a pneumatic label tail press mechanism. The YM130 is the semi-automatic version—operator loads and unloads each bottle manually, and presses the label tail by hand. The YM130 is ideal for smaller volumes and budgets; the YM210 suits higher production demands. Both share the same core labeling mechanism and precision.

Q: How long has your company been manufacturing labeling machines?

A: YIMU Machinery has specialized in labeling equipment for 20 years. We have a 68+ person core team with 10–20 dedicated R&D engineers and have completed over 10,000 projects shipped to more than 80 countries worldwide.

Q: Do you offer customization for the YM130?

A: Yes. Available customizations include: transparent label sensor (+$300), inkjet date coder (+$600), ribbon coder, UV printed branding on machine body (+$5), and custom machine dimensions to accommodate non-standard label sizes. Contact us with your requirements.

Q: What warranty and support comes with the YM130?

A: The YM130 includes a 2-year warranty covering core components—PLC, HMI touchscreen, motor. We provide free replacement for non-human-caused failures, complete installation manuals, operation training videos, and remote video technical support. Local after-sales service is available in the USA, Australia, Canada, Thailand, Vietnam, Philippines, and South Korea.
