Used Trine Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Trine was founded in 1981 in Los Angeles, California, establishing itself from the outset as a specialist in roll-fed label application equipment. The brand changed hands several times over the following decades — acquired by CMS Gilbreth in 1988, then by Impaxx in 1996 — before Barry-Wehmiller purchased the assets in 2005 and integrated Trine into its Accraply labeling division. Today Trine operates as a dedicated brand within BW Packaging, a Barry-Wehmiller company, continuing to develop and support the roll-fed labeler product line that made its reputation.

Trine's core product line consists of roll-fed, wraparound hot-melt glue bottle labelers built for high-speed, high-volume production. The workhorse 4500 series — including the 4450 and 4500GS variants — delivers labeling speeds up to 350 containers per minute in a compact footprint with quick-change parts. The 4600 series builds on that platform with a servo-driven label registration system, enhanced vacuum label control, and an auto-lube system for reduced maintenance. The larger-format 4650 and 4700 models handle containers up to 400 containers per minute, while the 6500 is engineered for bigger-diameter containers, applying full-wrap, partial-wrap, or spot labels to glass, plastic, and metal containers ranging from 3.75 to 6 inches in diameter at rates up to 500 bottles per minute.

Trine bottle labelers are a fixture on packaging lines in the beverage, food and beverage, personal care, household products, and pharmaceutical industries. Their stainless-steel construction and compatibility with both wet and dry environments make them equally at home in breweries, water bottling plants, juice lines, and health and beauty operations. The machines handle PET, HDPE, and glass containers as well as aluminum cans, giving them broad applicability across consumer packaged goods manufacturing.

Buyers seeking used Trine labelers consistently cite the machines' longevity and mechanical robustness — documented field service lives of 20 years or more are common — as the primary reason they hold their value on the secondary market. OEM change parts and upgrade kits remain available through BW Packaging for legacy models, which lowers the total cost of ownership on pre-owned equipment. The combination of durable stainless construction, straightforward mechanical design, and an active parts ecosystem makes a used Trine bottle labeler a practical, cost-effective alternative to new equipment for producers looking to add or expand labeling capacity.
