DPR Label Counter with Missing Label CLM111

Overview

The CLM111 is designed for label operations that need more than simple roll transport. In addition to handling rewind and unwind functions on the same machine, it also counts labels and allows operators to set a preset number of labels for controlled rewinding. That makes it especially useful in production environments where a large master roll needs to be broken down into smaller rolls with consistent quantities for inventory, resale, internal use, or repeat customer orders.

One of the key distinctions of the CLM model is the ability to stop when the sensor detects a missing label. In real converting and finishing workflows, that feature helps operators identify irregularities and avoid continuing the process without notice when label continuity is interrupted. For businesses that need more reliable roll preparation and count control, that added sensing function can improve workflow confidence.

The machine uses motorized turrets on both sides. The rewinder allows adjustable rotation speed, while the unwinder automatically self-adjusts. This combination supports smoother handling during label counting and roll-to-roll transfer, especially when operators are preparing smaller rolls from larger label stock or need a controlled label count before the process stops and signals completion.

Because the CLM111 can count, rewind, unwind, and stop at a preset quantity, it is well suited for companies managing repeat labeling programs, internal roll preparation, private-label order support, or distribution workflows where organized roll conversion matters just as much as the printing itself. Rather than being just a passive roll accessory, it functions as an active finishing and handling tool for label media control.

Common applications

• Counting labels on existing rolls for inventory control
• Rewinding label rolls to different core sizes
• Converting larger rolls into smaller rolls for internal use
• Preparing preset label quantities for repeat jobs
• Supporting print shops and resellers handling smaller batch roll preparation
• Finishing workflows that need unwind and rewind in one machine
• Monitoring label continuity with missing-label sensor detection
• Commercial label departments improving roll control and order consistency

Workflow overview

The CLM111 is especially useful in environments where a full roll needs to be measured, reconfigured, or divided into smaller saleable or usable quantities. That includes label converters, internal production departments, packaging support teams, and businesses that want exact roll counts for more predictable downstream use.

Preset counting is one of the strongest workflow benefits here. Instead of manually estimating quantities or stopping by judgment, operators can set the target number of labels, let the machine process the roll, and rely on the system to stop and signal when that quantity has been reached. In repeat production environments, that helps standardize output and reduce variation between rolls.

This product also supports the practical side of label operations that sit between printing and application. In many businesses, label handling, roll preparation, and quantity control are essential parts of the overall process.

Why do width, roll diameter, and adjustable core holders matter?

Label counters and roll-handling systems only work well when their physical capacity aligns with the real rolls used in production. A maximum width of 5.9" determines which label media can be processed. A maximum roll diameter of 10" affects how much material can be handled at once. Adjustable core holders from 1.57" to 4.64" on both sides provide practical flexibility when moving labels between different roll constructions or preparing smaller rolls for customer orders, inventory, or specific machine requirements.

For operations managers and purchasing teams, these dimensions are not minor details. They directly affect whether the machine can support the actual label stock already in use. Matching the roll format to the equipment helps prevent wasted setup time and improves the likelihood of smooth, repeatable handling.
