BIZERBA LABEL APPLICATOR

• Applying labels to the top surface of packaged food products such as trays, punnets, or cartons.
• Labelling pre-packaged meat, poultry, fish, or dairy products with variable data like weight, price, and best-before dates.
• Automating the labelling process for baked goods, confectionery, and fresh produce in food manufacturing environments.
• Integrating into existing production lines for high-speed, accurate product identification and traceability.

Typical throughput

Units of this class commonly offer throughputs ranging from 40 to 120 products per minute, depending on label size and application complexity.

Power supply

Typically requires a single-phase 230V AC supply, often with a standard UK 3-pin plug or industrial connector.

Label roll capacity

Commonly accommodates label rolls with an outer diameter of up to 300mm and a core diameter of 76mm (3 inches).

Print technology

Print and apply machines like this typically utilise thermal transfer or direct thermal printing for high-resolution variable data.

Application method

This model is described as a 'top applicator', meaning it applies labels to the upper surface of products, often using a tamp or blow-on method.
