Label printing machines - Import export

The requirements for product labelling are increasing and becoming more and more diverse. Track and Trace, product tracing, quality assurance, GS1 regulations require secure and reliable application of variable data. This applies to almost all industries, whether logistics, pharmaceuticals, food industry or chemicals such as agrochemicals. ​When printing variable data such as graphics or Data Matrix, barcodes, QR codes and comparable code types, uncompromising quality must be implemented. ​The EDS 420i and EDS 620i printing and dispensing systems are designed for industrial use and enable you to label your products and their packaging precisely, reliably and quickly using different applicators and label transfer modules. The modular design of the systems was the main focus in the development of the printing and dispensing systems

Fully automatic labeller \ Label printing and dispensing system for labelling bags Basic concept of the label printing dispenser: Bag labelling with variable data: The EDS620i-VCB label printing and dispensing system was developed for labelling sacks. The label is applied to the bag via a pneumatic label transfer unit. To achieve a precise application result, a pneumatic pressure roller is used. The sack label is then recorded fully automatically via a barcode scanning station and reported to the b+b Siterserver. The basis of the pressure dispensing system is the EDS 620i label pressure dispenser. This is designed for industrial operation and enables you to label your products and their packaging precisely, reliably and quickly using different applicators and label transfer modules.

Print shipping labels without backing material, avoid thousands of tons of waste material and, at the same time, reduce your carbon footprint – this is all possible thanks to our sustainable and innovative PA4 / PA6 InNo-Liner Print & Apply System. The material is printed, cut, activated and applied with the labeling machine and the combined cutting component, micro-atomization component and linear tamp unit. Thanks to the HERMA InNo-Liner and the patented, multi-layer pressure-sensitive adhesive, thousands of tons of backing paper or backing film and the cost of their disposal can be saved every year. The labels can be pre-printed in color using the conventional printing process. The labeling machine can be equipped with an optional thermal transfer printer or thermal direct printer for printing the variable data.

Due to lower storage costs and higher flexibility, more and more manufacturers rely on the processing of unprinted tubes and mark them with a label directly before filling. The labeler TEM model was developed for this purpose and is able to apply a label to the circumference of the empty, unsealed tubes. For this purpose, the products are transported via a clocked transport system to the labeling station, where they are previously aligned and stabilized by means of a format-specific mandrel. The model can optionally be extended to include infeed and outfeed magazines and/or steep conveyors into the tube filler. As a double-cycle variant, throughput can be doubled. Special sensor technology makes target labeling possible based on print marks or lid features. Models: TEM \ Empty, unsealed tubes \ 50 - 60 products/min TEM-2T \ Empty, unsealed tubes \ 100 - 120 products/min

The system is used for labelling or printing flat products such as postcards, flat folding boxes, mailing bags or textile blanks, regardless of the format. The products are fed into the loading chute by the operator and are then destacked layer by layer from below and fed past the labeling or printing or inspection unit. The finished products are then collected in an exit chute or a collection box. This system was developed for a capacity range of up to 100 products/min. For processing higher numbers of products/min, the HSF model series is available which, in addition to a longer conveying distance for setting up different stations also provides the option of a product ejector to automatically remove NIO products from the process and collect them in a separate collection box. The tool-free adjustment enables the shortest changeover times for batch/product changes.

The PDL model series for labeling Petri dishes from our special machine construction provides filled and sealed Petri dishes with a serialized DMC label in the minimum tolerance range at an output of 130 products/min. The system combines mechanical engineering, label material and thermal transfer printer. The Petri dishes from the previous filling/capping line are fed to the labeling system. By means of a clock star, the system transports the products through the various stations, such as labeling, the press-on unit and DMC inspection, where the grading (quality control) of the data matrix code takes place at the same time. In case of insufficient quality of the barcode, the product is ejected. By using our label dispenser RAPID SM we guarantee an accuracy of +-0.2 mm at a labeling speed of 60 m/min while maintaining the product quality. The signals are switched directly into the stepper motor card developed by us.

The RML labeling machine is suitable for wrap-around labeling of non-rigid cylindrical products - ampoule, cartridge, syringe labeling. The products are transported to the labeling station, which fixes the label on the circumference, by means of an intermittent roller conveyor. The labeling system is suitable for products such as ampoules, cartridges, lipsticks, syringes and vials and is therefore suitable for the pharmaceutical, medical technology, cosmetics and food industries, where reliable labeling and control processes are extremely important. Deviations and errors here can lead to life-threatening situations. From manual loading and unloading to fully automatic loading and subsequent collection of the products, this model is modularly expandable. Particularly narrow products such as ampoules or cartridges can also be processed using format sets (RML-FS).

With the VFP labeller, pasta packages or other flat products can be labelled on the bottom or top. In various industries such as food or cosmetics, and especially pharmaceuticals and medical technology, accurate product labelling is important. Food packaging or folding boxes are often labelled on the top and bottom. Like all systems, this labeller from b+b is modularly expandable. Processing of different product sizes and formats is possible without tools by simply changing over from format to format. Your advantages here are short set-up times and easy handling. The fully automatic VFP labelling system enables you to label your products precisely - regardless of whether the label is to be applied to the top, the bottom or both sides.

The PAE range is an innovative new generation of pallet labellers that can label pallets on up to three sides with either pneumatic and/or electric traversing axles. The labels are printed with individual data in real time immediately before dispensing. The series is designed to integrate thermal transfer printing modules from different manufacturers. Automatic height adjustments are available as an option in order to Application heights on the pallet to start up. The complete traceability of products is essential nowadays, which is why interest in intelligent pallet labelling processes is so high. The system can handle label formats up to DIN A4 format, enabling product labelling according to the global GS1 standards.

Due to increasing product counterfeiting, many manufacturers are forced to make their products tamper- and counterfeit-proof. Legal requirements exist in some countries for this purpose. Our TE model was developed for this task. The system enables single-sided and/or double-sided seal labeling of pharmaceutical folding boxes and can also be used in the cosmetics industry. During the development, special attention was paid to the protection of the packaging as well as the format range of the products to be processed. The basic version labels folding boxes with format widths (in the running direction) of 50-250 mm at an output of up to 300 folding boxes per minute. Models for processing wider folding cartons are based on the same line concept. As an extension, the model series is available as a combination system (TE-PV) with a b+b serialization module and b+b LineManager. In this case, the printer and camera system are integrated into the system.

The semi-automatic labeling machine TNC-R was developed for the all-round labeling of tubes. Small batches can be labeled quickly and precisely with the labeller. The tubes are placed manually in the labeling system. As soon as the 2-hand operation is activated, the automated labeling process starts. The product is rotated and shifted, then the wrap-around label is applied exactly to the product. A printing unit can be integrated for individual labeling of the tubes. You can easily print the labels yourself inline. The integration of a printing unit is suitable, for example, for laboratory tubes or sample vessels that have to be provided with individual data.

Fully automatic labelling machine for labelling drum pallets IBC Conatiner All chemicals are subject to mandatory classification and labelling before they are placed on the market. Often, several labels (product label, hazardous goods label and logistics label) are used up on the containers or drum pallets. Labelling can take place in a continuous flow or at a standstill. Vacuum belts are used for transferring labels to the drum, which can process different label sizes with the appropriate special vacuum plate. The IBLM labeller can be used as a stand-alone labeller or integrated into existing production lines and filling lines.

The systems of the VEE model series are ideally suited for labelling medium-sized containers such as buckets, paint cans and canisters in all industries such as food, chemicals, paints and varnishes - regardless of whether these are oval, round or rectangular plastic or metal containers. Depending on the customer's requirements, the products can be aligned before the labelling process, and any plastic or metal handles can be brought into the position required for labelling. Optionally, the labelling system can be expanded to include additional labelling stations for applying a lid label, if required.

Fully automatic labelling machine for labelling drums in accordance with the GHS Directive. All chemicals are subject to mandatory classification and labelling before they are placed on the market, and they are often marketed in drums and hobbocks of various sizes. This places increased demands on the flexibility of the labelling unit in terms of print data, multi-colour printing and application height (labelling height). Often, several labels are applied to the circumference of the keg (product label, hazardous goods label(s) and logistics label. For this purpose, the system can be equipped with several label dispensers and/or several printing and dispensing systems. Labelling can be carried out in continuous operation or at a standstill. Depending on the application and labelling requirements, the labelling system can also be positioned at a drum labelling station.

The workstation enables the manual serialisation of pharmaceutical packs and their aggregation into shipping cartons. For this purpose, each individual box is first printed with order-related serialisation data by a thermal inkjet printing system and then manually placed in a shipping carton. As soon as this is filled, the downstream thermal transfer printer creates an individual serialisation label. The correct print data and print quality are monitored by a camera system. The operator places the drug packs to be labelled at a reference edge of the conveyor belt. As soon as the printer has printed the serialisation data, it is checked for correctness by the integrated image processing system. In case of an error, the product stops at a certain position, which is marked by red LEDs. Depending on the number of products in the shipping carton/number of aggregation levels, approx. 10-12 products/min are serialised.

Labelling machine for wrap-around labelling Basic concept of the system for bottle labelling and can labelling: With the aid of the fully automatic VRM labeller, different cylindrical or square products can be labelled quickly and precisely on the circumference - wrap-around labelling.
