The YCT-100 automatic shrink sleeve labeling machine is designed for manufacturers who need consistent, full-body or partial sleeve labeling on round and slightly tapered bottles. Whether you are bottling fruit juice, tea, dairy, purified water, condiments, beer, sports drinks, or cosmetic liquids, the YCT-100 delivers stable sleeve placement at 100 bottles per minute, with photoelectric sensing and servo-driven cutting that eliminates missed labels and skewed sleeves.
Manufactured by Dongguan Yucheng Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. (YCT Machinery) — a CE-certified packaging equipment maker with 15+ years of export experience to 50+ countries — the YCT-100 is supplied with bilingual HMI (English / Chinese, customizable), voltage adaptation for global markets, and modular integration with our filling, capping, and conveying lines.
The YCT-100 uses photoelectric signal sensing combined with a Mitsubishi PLC processor to coordinate every stage of the sleeving cycle:
Bottle detection — A Panasonic photoelectric sensor detects each incoming bottle on the conveyor; the PLC issues a sleeving command within 1 second.
Sleeve feeding — The label film unwinds from the reel and is guided down the central guide pillar.
Precision cutting — The servo-driven cutter head trims each sleeve to the programmed length (fixed-length, transparent-gap, or color-mark registration).
Sleeve placement — Brush-down and bottle-carrying groups apply the sleeve onto the bottle body, neck, or cap as configured.
Heat shrinking — Downstream steam or electric shrink tunnel locks the sleeve onto the container with a smooth, wrinkle-free finish.
This architecture allows the YCT-100 to perform full-body wrap, top-to-bottom body sleeving, neck sleeving, and tamper-evident cap banding — all on the same base machine, with quick changeover parts.

Every YCT-100 is built with industrial-grade, internationally recognized components — not generic substitutes. This is what gives our customers in the EU, US, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East an average MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) above 4,000 hours in real-world 16-hour-shift production.
304# stainless steel frame — corrosion-resistant, food-safe, complies with FDA contact-surface requirements for beverage and dairy lines.
Mitsubishi PLC (Japan) — accurate signal processing, fewer missed labels, easier diagnostics.
Schneider servo (France) — precise cutting and consistent sleeve length, even at sustained 100 BPM.
Panasonic photoelectric sensors (Japan) — reliable bottle and color-mark detection.
NSK bearings + GATES belts — long service life, low maintenance, globally available spares.
Bilingual HMI (English / Chinese) — additional language interfaces available on request for Russian, Spanish, Arabic, Vietnamese, and Thai markets.
The YCT-100 has been deployed in production lines across the following industries:
Industry | Typical Applications |
Beverage | Fruit juice, tea drinks, sports drinks, purified water, beer, RTD cocktails |
Dairy | Milk, yogurt drinks, flavored milk bottles |
Condiments & Sauces | Soy sauce, vinegar, cooking oil, salad dressing |
Cosmetics & Personal Care | Shampoo, body wash, lotion bottles, serum |
Daily Chemicals | Dishwashing liquid, detergent, household cleaners |
Pharmaceutical | Tamper-evident cap banding for syrups and oral liquids |
The machine handles PET, HDPE, glass, and aluminum bottles with diameters from Ø38 mm to Ø120 mm. For non-standard bottle shapes, we provide custom center guide pillars and cutter heads to ensure a clean fit.
A common question from buyers is which shrink method to pair with the YCT-100. Here's our engineering team's recommendation:
Shrink Method | Best For | Pros | Considerations |
Steam Tunnel | Beverages, water, dairy, juice (PET bottles) | Smoother, glossier label appearance; lower demands on label material and shrink rate | Requires steam supply or built-in boiler; not suitable for moisture-sensitive products |
Electric Heat Tunnel | Glass bottles, metal containers, powders, biscuits, dry goods | Keeps product environment dry; simpler installation, lower utility setup | Requires labels with higher shrink rate and better material; slightly higher energy draw |

Yes. The YCT-100 handles sleeve film thicknesses from 0.03 mm to 0.13 mm, covering common PVC, PET, OPS, and PETG sleeves. We will also recommend the right shrink rate, color, and material based on your bottle and shrink tunnel type.
Choose a steam tunnel if you're sleeving PET beverage bottles, juice, water, dairy, or any product where a glossy, smooth sleeve appearance is critical.
Choose an electric tunnel if you're sleeving glass, metal, powder, or dry goods where moisture is a concern.
Our engineers will recommend the right tunnel based on your product, bottle material, sleeve film, and factory layout.
