S175 Labelling Machine

The S175 is a fully automatic, self-adhesive pharmaceutical labelling machine for the application of paper and clear self-adhesive labels. The S175 handles a wide range cylindrical, rectangular, square or oval containers, in glass, plastic or composite materials. It is designed for maximum versatility, capable of labelling containers from 10mm dia. to 150mm dia. with minimal change parts.

The S175 is engineered to meet the requirements of the international pharmaceutical industry and industry’s regulatory bodies. In fact, this includes the FDA as well as various industries where flexibility, high-speed accuracy and reliability are prerequisites.

Operation

A variable speed roller at the infeed spaces the containers entering the machine. A sensor detects each container as they pass through it, which triggers the label feed. A backing plate drives the leading edge of the label off the backing web at a linear speed. Thus, the label dispensed matches the container speed. This ensures smooth, accurate placement on the container surface. The container, gripped between an applicator drum and presser pad, firmly presses the label in place, ensuring high registration accuracy.
