Unknown - Cucumber Labelling Line with Herma Labeller and Zodiac Printer

• Labelling of fresh produce such as cucumbers, courgettes, and other elongated vegetables.
• Application of branding, barcode, and nutritional information labels to individual food items.
• Integration into existing fresh produce packing lines for automated labelling.
• Use in food processing facilities requiring high-speed, accurate product identification.
• Suitable for operations needing variable data printing directly onto labels.

Typical capacity

Typically, labelling lines of this class can process several thousand items per hour, depending on product size and label complexity.

Power supply

Commonly requires a standard industrial electrical supply, typically 230V or 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz.

Labelling method

Units of this type typically utilise pressure-sensitive adhesive labels applied via a wipe-on or blow-on method.

Printer type

The Zodiac printer component suggests thermal transfer printing, commonly used for variable data like dates and batch codes.

Product handling
