What does Seagle Coding & Technical Services do?

Seagle Coding & Technical Services supplies and supports packaging equipment for production lines. Our solutions include filling machines, labelling machines, industrial inkjet printers, laser coding systems, conveyors and related packaging line equipment.

Do you supply packaging equipment in South Africa?

Yes. Seagle supplies packaging equipment for businesses that need practical production line solutions, including filling, labelling, coding, marking and conveying equipment. Seagle’s company documents use the positioning “For All Your Packaging Equipment Requirements.”

Do you supply filling machines?

Yes. Seagle can assist with filling machines. One example from our equipment range is a single head piston filler for thick products, designed to fill a pre-selected amount between 100 ml and 1000 ml into a container. The filling speed depends on the container size and product viscosity.

What products can a piston filler be used for?

A piston filler is suited to thicker products such as sauces, ointments and similar products, depending on the application. To recommend the correct filling machine, we need to know the product, container size, fill volume and production speed required.

Do you supply labelling machines?

Yes. Seagle supplies labelling solutions, including front and back labelling systems and manual round bottle labellers. One quoted system is designed to apply front and back labels automatically onto containers and includes a conveyor, stabilising system and electronic label applicators.

Can you label round bottles?

Yes. Seagle can assist with round bottle labelling. The Impala Manual Round Bottle Labeller is designed for simple changeover, low maintenance and operation without electricity or compressed air. It can handle partially or fully wrap-around labels on round containers.

Can you label front and back labels on bottles or containers?

Yes. Seagle can assist with front and back labelling systems for containers. One example is a double-sided labelling system designed for rectangular containers, with automatic front and back label application, a 2.5 m conveyor and electronic setup for multiple containers.

Do you supply conveyors for packaging lines?

Yes. Seagle supplies conveyor solutions for packaging lines. One example is a conveyor on a movable stand with accumulation tables, using a stainless-steel profile, adjustable supports, an Acetal slat band belt, adjustable guide rails and variable speed control.

Can conveyors be adjusted for different container sizes?

Yes. Seagle conveyor systems can include adjustable guide rails to allow for different container sizes. This helps the conveyor work with different bottles, containers or packaging formats on a production line.

Do you supply inkjet printers for date coding and batch coding?

Yes. Seagle supplies industrial inkjet printer solutions for coding and marking applications. One quoted example includes a Hitachi UX-B inkjet printer package with accessories, installation and training options.

Do you supply laser coding machines?

Yes. Seagle supplies laser coding systems. One example is a Lead Tech 30 W CO2 laser printer package, supplied with a machine stand, fume extraction and guard.

What can a CO2 laser printer mark on?

The Lead Tech CO2 laser marking system is suitable for packaging applications such as PET bottles, plastics, PP/PE films, boxes, cartons and other primary coding applications. It supports clean, permanent and easy-to-read codes for traceability and anti-counterfeiting.

What is the difference between inkjet coding and laser coding?

Inkjet coding uses ink to print information such as dates, batch numbers and production codes onto products or packaging. Laser coding creates a permanent mark without ink or solvent consumables. The best option depends on the packaging material, production speed, required code quality and running cost.

Can Seagle help with a complete filling, labelling, coding and conveyor setup?

Yes. Seagle can assist with multiple parts of a production line, including filling, labelling, coding and conveyors. A company quotation includes a combined equipment summary for Filling, Labelling, Coding & Conveyor Equipment, showing that these solutions can be quoted together for a production setup.

What information do you need to recommend the right machine?

To recommend the correct equipment, Seagle needs to know your product, container type, fill volume, label size, coding requirements, production speed, available space and whether you need a manual, semi-automatic or automatic solution.

What should be ready before installation and commissioning?

For commissioning, the customer should make sure electrical supply is in place and that operators, containers, closures, product and labels are available during commissioning.

Do your machines come with a guarantee?

Yes. Seagle’s quotation terms state that new equipment is guaranteed for twelve months from delivery, excluding fair wear and tear, wilful misuse or use outside the purpose for which the equipment was supplied.

Do you offer rental or lease options?

Seagle documents show rental and lease options on some equipment, including equipment lease agreements and rental options on selected machinery. Availability will depend on the equipment, customer requirements and agreement terms.
