Newman’s Accessories: Enhancing Production Efficiency

The leading concerns of efficiency and precision go hand in hand in the field of pharmaceutical labelling. Newman is fully aware of this and thus presents a wide range of accessories to fit seamlessly in our labelling machines.

Newman’s accessories are made to answer very specific needs of the manufacturers in furthering automation, reducing waste, and therefore optimising production lines. Here’s how Newman’s accessories can help you smoothen your processes and boost productivity.

The Role of Newman’s Accessories in Enhancing Production

Accessories are not merely add-ons but are in fact, important tools that ease the integration of the labelling machine into an existing production line. Automation of such tasks, which otherwise would require manual input, is how Newman’s line of accessories work, hence greatly improving efficiency manyfold. Different manufacturers have different needs based on the volume of production, type of containers, and material-handling capabilities, and Newman’s versatile range is designed to cater to all these aspects.

Whether it be for higher level of automation, to reduce wastage, or to improve operational efficiency, rest assured that Newman’s accessories will help your labelling machines perform at the highest level of reliability.

Key Accessories for Seamless Labelling

• Faulty Label Removal (FLR) – Newman’s FLR system changes the game in preventing disruptions during labelling. Attached to detect faulty labels before application, it removes them automatically at speed to allow the process to continue without interruption. This ensures that only perfectly labelled containers make it through, improving quality and reducing product wastage.
• EasiSplice 470 – The EasiSplice 470 module sits next to the label supply and allows for zero-downtime label changes. This advanced system does not require manual change of reels and thus enables smooth production without excessive delays in between. It can be counted as an ideal solution for high-volume operations with minimal stoppages.
• Ultrasonic Label Sensors – Detection of labels has been a priority while dealing with transparent or thin labels. Newman’s ultrasonic label sensors are the most recent in detection technology and offer reliable performance on different label material types. This offers a narrower window for mistakes to happen and keeps the labelling process continuous with minimal intervention.
• Versatile Printing Options – Newman understands that pharmaceutical manufacturers have varying needs, and as such, our machines allow for different printing technologies; hot foil, thermal, laser, or inkjet to name a few. This ensures each label in each particular application meets the regulatory standards in terms of appearance and is legible, durable, and smudge-resistant.
• Infeed and Outfeed Systems – The efficiency of container handling will make sure there is continuity in the flow of production. The product infeed on Newman’s machines can be equipped with rotary turntables, gating rollers, and feed scrolls, depending upon the required speed of labelling or container loading. They have been designed to handle delicate containers with precision and great care. Additionally, the systems guarantee smooth entry and exit of containers through the labelling machine to avoid jams and reduce handling errors.

Advanced Automation for Enhanced Efficiency with Newman’s Accessories

Another distinctive feature of Newman’s accessories is the fact that they aid in making the machines automated beyond the labelling process. An example here is the Waste Reject Station. The system includes a reject sensor, actuator, and verification system that automatically discards containers with incorrect or missing labels. The system is carefully tuned to manage different weights as well as the fragility of containers without needlessly wasting a product.

The Label Overprint Verification System provides further improvement to the quality control system. This module compares the printed labels with the unprinted ones to check whether the characters are correctly positioned. Otherwise, the machine will automatically shut down, ruling out the possibility of products incorrectly labelled continuing down the line.

Reliable Control Systems with PLC and HMI Integration

Advanced PLC and HMI systems from Newman’s accessories boast trusted brands like Allen-Bradley and Siemens. These provide a very user-friendly interface and thoroughly reliable control over the whole labelling process. The touchscreen HMI makes the process of adjusting, monitoring, and diagnosing problems very easy. Further, the system has a 3-level password access for security and a feature to store labelling setup for up to 100 products. All of these features streamline the production line and minimise errors.

Sustainable and Efficient Solutions

Newman’s commitment to sustainability shows even in accessory designs. With the advanced innovation of the Web Break Detector, it automatically stops the machine instantly on the detection of a web break to save labels and facilitate smooth running. Many of Newman’s accessories support eco-friendly labels and inks as well, going a long way in supporting the companies’ policies of sustainability.

The wide range of accessories at Newman enables manufacturers to reinforce production while going that one step further towards ‘green’ and sustainable operations.

Why Newman’s Accessories Are the Best Choice

Newman’s accessories bring unequalled reliability, precision, and adaptability to the table regarding the optimisation of your production line. Each accessory is specifically designed with the particular needs of pharmaceutical labelling in mind and will enable your machines to cope with high volumes of production with no sacrifice in quality.

From eliminating label reel change downtime with the EasiSplice 470 to accurately applying labels with the help of ultrasonic sensors, Newman’s accessories work to enhance the functionality of its machines. The addition of such high-quality add-ons will help attain a smooth and efficient labelling process for companies, fully automated to the highest possible industry standards.
