This semi-automatic label applicator offers faster labelling speed, a new label liner rewinder and a user-friendly operation
The Natural & Organic Products Expo (NOPEX) is the go-to event for the latest eco-friendly and sustainable products around food, drinks, cosmetics and eco living. It’s the perfect stage for innovators to showcase product launches and buyers to get ahead of the latest trends. DTM Print, international OEM and solution provider for specialty printing systems, will present its label and direct-to-food printing solutions, and for the first time the new DTM AP380e Label Applicator. DTM Print is located at stand # R21.
The AP380e Label Applicator is the latest model of the AP-Series Label Applicators and is perfect for round or cylindrical containers including bottles, cans, jars, tubes and even small containers like lipsticks. The applicator accurately applies one or two different labels to a single container and features an integrated LED counter as well as a memory for up to nine front-to-back label offsets.
It offers an increased application speed of up to 30% compared to previous models, enabling users to apply up to 1,500 labels per hour. The spring-loaded pressure arm ensures that the labels are applied firmly and wrinkle-free, providing a seamless finish on a wide variety of containers. The inclusion of a label liner rewinder further optimises operations by keeping the waste liner material off of the floor and winding it into a roll for easy disposal.
How to best operate a label applicator depends on the working environment and work set up. That is different for each application. Sometimes it is more practical to start the labelling process by hand, sometimes better by foot. Keeping that in mind a button was added on the top of the AP380e that allows the user to start the labelling process. The applicator can also be operated with the familiar footswitch.
As an additional service DTM Print not only offers customers a three-year warranty for AP380e units after product registration but also to modify the container rollers for specific custom containers.
