Flexa will be a highlight on the Krones Pacific stand. Flexa is a Kosme labelling system for producers operating in the small and medium output range and using a wide range of decoration variants for their containers.

The concept is a rotary machine for applying cold glue, hotmelt, or self-adhesive labels to containers. It's a basic machine with firmly installed labelling stations that can be upgraded, as an option, to exchangeable labelling stations with fixed adjustment or to the most flexible variant, exchangeable plus adjustable labelling stations.

Prior to being labelled, the containers are oriented on rotating container plates, using electronic cams.

Flexa has a combined rolling-on system for positively fixing the labels on the container. Production speed is 5000 bottles per hour.
