Semi-automatic and automatic label applicators
Together with our partners IMA and Herma we supply numerous labeling solutions, ranging from simple manual label dispensers to high-tech customized labeling machines.
Universal to all our labeling solutions is that we offer industrial labeling machines whose powerful functions and high labeling accuracy promote significant savings in production. Further, all labeling systems available through PPS can be delivered to comply with pharmaceutical standards.
We supply labeling solutions ranging from simple label dispensers and semi-automatic labeling machines to automatic label applicators. The machine showcase below is a selection of available labeling machines. Contact us directly for more solutions.
IMA MODULA Syringe assembly machine
The assembly and labelling of pre-filled glass syringes is a delicate process that must preserve the syringe and the drug it contains. Recently developed by IMA Life, MODULA is the converging element between aseptic filling and secondary packaging.
IMA SENSITIVE AP400T Labelling machine for cartons
Available as a stand-alone unit or integrated in a complete packaging line, the SENSITIVE AP400T applies tamper-evident sealing at a high speed while occupying a reduced footprint. Flexible and ergonomic, it handles a wide range of carton sizes.
IMA SENSITIVE AP400 CW Labelling machine for cartons
Compliant with the latest Track & Trace and serialization statutory requirements, the SENSITIVE AP400 CW combines an outstanding carton weighing system with a compact layout to save space in the production area.
IMA SENSITIVE 200 Labelling machine for vials and bottles
Appropriate labelling is required for all containers used for pharmaceutical drugs. The SENSITIVE 200 is a linear labelling machine suitable for applying self-adhesive labels to oval, elliptical and rectangular containers and even to cylindrical containers (one label only).
Labeling applicators
All the standard models as well as the special labeling equipment from Herma are based on the same two labeling applicators:
Herma 500 – is the flagship of Herma. Herma 500 is built in the highest quality and labels with highest precision and speed. Moreover, it is compatible with Industry 4.0 and can be combined with various printers, as well as vision and control systems.
Herma 400 – is the famous versatile labeling applicator with premium flexibility, quality, and accuracy.
Herma Basic holds many of the same skills as the H400. For more straightforward jobs it allows a more economical beneficial solution.
Herma InNo-Liner
The Herma InNo-Liner system is linerless and apply labels with the patented self-adhesive material. Due to the lack of liner and therefore the minimized waste, the Herma InNo-Liner is not only a cost-cutting game changer from the perspective of logistics and shipping, but also actively contributes to protecting the environment. In the absence of a liner, each roll can accommodate more labels, so that both the shipping weight and the necessary warehousing space are reduced.
- Lower transport volume and weight and therefore reduced CO2 emissions
- Less warehousing space
- More material on each roll and therefore fewer roll changes
Top and bottom labeling
Top and bottom labeling is the most commonly used type of labeling. Herma and PPS offer solutions for either bottom or top labeling, or a combined fully automatic system for simultaneous application of top and bottom labels.
- Labeling speed up to 250 units per minute.
- Products are guided by either motorized side belts or special guide rails.
- Labeling system can be integrated into existing production lines.
L- and C-shape labeling
It is increasingly important to securely seal a broad range of products as well as prevent from tampering. For this, L- and C-shape labeling is ideal, as the label in general need to be applied over one or more edges. Additionally, the labels can contain an amount of variable information, such as ingredients or expiration date.
- The labeling system can easily be integrated with printing, inspection, and rejection systems.
- Labeling solutions specifically designed for the pharmaceutical and food industries.
- Compliance with the strictest requirements for tamper evident labeling.
Tabletop labeling equipment
For smaller productions, a tabletop labeling unit will be sufficient.
For these applications Herma offers a variety of solutions; from a simple unit that peels of the label from the backing paper and manual places it onto the product, to a system where the operator places a round object, e.g. a bottle, on rollers for automatic and exact labeling.
Robotic solutions for labeling
Standard labeling equipment might not be enough to solve a tricky labeling job. By combining a Herma labeling applicator and a small robot, a more flexible and/or specialized solution can be offered.
PPS designs and builds such turnkey solutions and we can supply complete lines, offering both the labeling part, but also – if needed – a packaging line for packing the labeled products into cartons, shipper boxes and onto pallets.
