RAVENWOOD has launched its new Nobac 1500 linerless labelling machine, described as offering a ‘cost efficient and high-speed’ alternative to standard self-adhesive top or base labellers.
The new labeller is supplied as a standalone unit with an integrated conveyor. This applicator, designed for high-speed Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) in the meat, fish, and fresh produce industries, is capable of printing and applying both top and base labels, or applying labels solely to the base.
The 1500’s air-free operation is designed to cut down on energy costs and minimise expenses related to wear and tear on components.
Dave Mathison, Ravenwood’s Scotland and Ireland sales manager, said, “The 1500 is exceptional because it operates without the need for compressed air and can handle lower gsm materials.
“We are continuously developing new materials, with a focus on further reducing costs, including those with improved water resistance.”
For standard MAP packs, the 1500 achieves labelling speeds of up to 140 packs per minute. The meat and fish processing industry often operates at high volumes with stringent timelines and fast labelling is necessary to keep up with production speeds, avoiding bottlenecks and ensuring the entire packaging line runs smoothly.
Dave added, “The new labeller offers considerable CO2 savings and can be integrated with a weigh price labeller, optimising production throughput, efficiency, and flexibility for catchweight, fixed weight, or average weight labelling – ensuring products are retail-ready.”
