Heisler Industries manufactures a denester that eliminates the demanding, time consuming and tedious task of manually separating plastic or metal pails, significantly improving production capacity and profitability. Designed and built in the USA, this high speed, PLC-controlled machine is made to exacting standards for trouble free, continuous use under varying conditions. Denester can denest round, square, rectangular, and oval buckets. A stack of pails is placed on the infeed conveyor and is delivered to the tilter arm, which converts the stack from the vertical to the horizontal position. The stack then advances to the separator mechanism, which holds the stack and removes one pail at a time. Each separated pail is fed to the upender, which transfers the pail to an upright position. The entire system continues to operate even as new stacks of pails are loaded. Standard Denester can denest and position containers for filling at a speed of 25/minute. Other denesters include the Compact Denester running at speeds of up to 15/min and the E-Series Denester, providing a compact solution in a modular and economical package for users whose line speeds are usually not more than 10 containers/minute.

Heisler Industries manufactures pail labelers, pressure sensitive labelers and cold glue labeling machines for some of the most commonly used plastic and metal pails. Labeling machines are designed to quickly and efficiently apply labels to 2-6 gallon round plastic or metal pails; square or rectangular cartons or containers as well as F-Style containers and 5 gallon water jugs. Heisler’s container labeling machines cover a wide range of applications: straight wall pail labeling, straight sided pail labeling, tapered pail labeling, square pail labeling, 5 gallon pail labeling, rectangular pail labeling, and paint can labeling. Pressure-sensitive labels apply the label to the pail from the center out, following the pail taper, and ensuring precise labeling. Pails never stop, and are automatically oriented for pail handle to label registration. Wet Glue Labeler uses a horizontal label magazine and uses feed roller; because the glue roller does not control the feeding, the labels are fed accurately regardless of the glue film adjustment. The Heisler Print and Apply Option is available for both pressure sensitive and wet glue machines, allowing the printing of labels as needed, thus reducing unnecessary preprinted label inventory.
