Semi-automatic labelling of canisters TNC-2F

The basic concept of this system is to label form bottles on both sides without using format parts. The adaptation to the respective product takes place by simple adjustment of the machine components. The associated advantages are short set-up times, high availability and multiple use in different production lines. For a high placement accuracy of the labels, the products are precisely aligned on the transport path. Label formats up to 250mm height and cycle rates up to 250 labels per minute are possible. This makes it easy to cover a wide range of products. FM | Form bottles one- oder two-sided | up to 250 products/min FM-DS | Form bottles und cylindrical products (rotating station) | up to 60 products/min FM-RB | Form bottles und cylindrical products (rotation belt) | up to 250 products/min FM-DSRB | Form bottles und cylindrical products | up to250 products/min | (combination of rotating station und rotation belt)

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. We have developed our HSS model series for this task. The system allows printing and inspection of pharmaceutical folding boxes on one and/or both sides and thus fulfills all requirements for product serialization. During development, great attention was paid to protecting the packaging as well as the format range of the products to be processed. In the basic version, folding cartons with format widths (in running direction) of 50-250 mm can be serialized at an output of up to 350 folding cartons per minute.

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).

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.
