.

Speedway Packaging Machinery designs and manufactures custom automatic denesters for a wide variety of packaging applications. Our denesters are engineered to automatically separate and dispense nested products such as trays, tubs, cups, lids, and other containers, delivering them individually to downstream packaging equipment.

Every denester is custom-built to suit your application and can be integrated with filling machines, sealing systems, labelers, cappers, conveyors, and other automated packaging equipment. By automating the denesting process, manufacturers can reduce manual handling, improve production efficiency, and maintain a consistent product flow.

For high-volume applications, Speedway can incorporate a bulk container conveyor that continuously supplies stacks of containers to the denester. This allows operators to load large quantities of products at one time and attend to other production tasks, minimizing interruptions and increasing line productivity.

Side and Top Label Stand (LS-S/T150)

Side and Top Label Stand

(LS-S150 and T150)

A steel-and-aluminum powder coated labeling stand with a swiveling head that switches between top and side labeling over a conveyor or in a fixed position. Swivel casters make it easy to reposition on the production floor as needs change. Best for: lines that need flexible, automatic labeling without a fixed conveyor investment.

Flexibility

  • The LS-S/T150 allows for easy and quick changeovers for reliable label positioning.
  • The movable stand means this Label Stand can be transferred from one job to another with ease.
  • This simple setup offers a very economical way to apply labels to either the side or top of a package.

Customize

  • The LS-series label stand is made in our factory in Canada. We can customize stand height to suit your needs.
  • With the addition of a corner wrap assembly, this labeller can apply labels on adjacent sides

Accuracy

  • The machine’s integrated missing label detection prevents mislabeling.
  • The Stepper motor drive ensures great accuracy.

Productivity

  • The LS-S/T150  touch screen control provides fast and easy setup.
  • The machine ensures fast labeling speeds with a small footprint.
  • Set the label position with the touch of a button – no need to adjust the sensor.
  • The integrated programmable counter can be programmed to automatically stop the machine when the chosen pre-set level is reached.

 Practicality

  • The LS-S/T150 is easy to integrate into a production line and reposition it wherever it is required.

Prism Aligner Wrap Labeler (LM-W150/200–3PA)

Prism Aligner Wrap Labeler

(LM-W150/200–3PA)

This wrap labeler adds a three-point prism aligner system built specifically for difficult labeling jobs — imperfect glass bottles, tapered containers, or any product where the label must align to a feature like a seam or embossing. It’s the go-to option when standard wrap labeling can’t guarantee straight, feature-aligned placement. Best for: craft beverage and glass-bottle producers needing precise label-to-feature alignment. 

Flexibility

  • The LM-W150-3PA allows for easy and quick changeovers for reliable label positioning.
  • It is very flexible and can label tricky bottles.
  • The adjustable printer dwell time adapts to different coder types.

Customize

  • The LM-W150 is made in our factory in Canada. We can customize conveyor length and width with no impact on lead time.
  • This labeler is very customizable. We can orient the placement of labels to a feature on the container as well as apply two labels on the same container.

Accuracy

  • The machine’s integrated missing label detection prevents mislabeling.
  • The Stepper motor drive ensures great accuracy.

Productivity

  • The LM-W150-3PA’s touch screen control provides fast and easy setup.
  • The machine ensures fast labeling speeds with a small footprint.
  • Set the label position with the touch of a button – no need to adjust the sensor.
  • The integrated programmable counter can be programmed to automatically stop the machine when the chosen pre-set level is reached.
