For maximum failure and production reliability: Logomatic tandem labelling system from the 500 series

Tandem labelling system for labelling trays and other containers

The new Logomatic Series 500 tandem labelling system for the marking of trays and other containers, which Logopak will unveil at BrauBeviale from 26 to 28 November 2024 in Nuremberg (Hall 4, Stand 4-119), is specifically designed to ensure maximum operational reliability and uninterrupted production processes during operation and maintenance. This is made possible by the alternating operation of two independent labelling units, which are integrated into a height- and side-adjustable stainless steel portal frame. The system is controlled via Logopak’s Tandem Controller System. Depending on the application, the two labellers can operate alternately, individually – with the other in hot standby – or simultaneously. Labelling can be applied on-the-fly from above or from the side at high speed, achieving a specified system throughput of up to 180 containers per minute in alternating mode.

Reliable and production-safe labelling with redundancy system

The Logomatic Series 500 tandem labelling system ensures maximum operational reliability and production continuity through its redundant design, regardless of the operating mode. When operating in alternating mode – where containers are labelled alternately by the two labellers – and one unit reaches the end of its roll, the remaining labeller takes over the labelling of all containers at a reduced conveyor speed until the roll change is complete. This allows production to continue uninterrupted, just as in standby mode, where one labeller marks all containers in a single line, and the second unit seamlessly takes over during roll changes or maintenance. Precise triggering of the labellers is achieved through light barriers, ensuring high repeat accuracy in label positioning on the containers. Barcode scanners integrated near the applicators provide 100% code verification, guaranteeing machine-readable labels.

Flexible adaptation to diverse labelling scenarios

The Logomatic Series 500 tandem labelling system offers exceptional flexibility to adapt to various on-site application scenarios. Features such as an electric height adjustment with a key switch and emergency stop button, manual side adjustment, and a toggle switch for setting the labelling position facilitate this adaptability. Additionally, the portal frame itself can be customised to meet specific customer requirements. Using the tandem controller’s control panel, customers can adjust the operating mode to suit their individual labelling needs, process requirements, and throughput targets, as well as access additional features such as gap monitoring. For installations requiring multiple labelling systems, the functionality of the tandem controller can be expanded into a multi-controller.
