‘High precision’ labelling station system launched for paint and chemical firms

MACSA ID UK has announced the launch of a new labelling station system for paint and chemical companies.

The solution, described as being specially developed for easy integration into production lines, is capable of labelling containers of varying shapes and sizes without the need for manual adjustment.

The modular system automatically adjusts to the shape of new paint or chemical containers or cans – cylindrical or conical, with or without handles, and of different diameters.

It is controlled by Macsa’s Integra software that memorises the parameters of each product and format. Incorporating a printing unit that allows labels to be printed in semi real-time, the manufacturer explained that the system also automatically adjusts to both the number of labels per container and the production speed.

A laser detector checks whether the container and handle, if there is one, is in the correct position.

Macsa’s labelling station allows for labelling on a variety of packaging and materials, including plastic, metal, sacks, boxes and cans.
