Automatic labelling system for pharmaceutical vials

Ensure precise and efficient packaging for cylindrical containers with high-speed labeling, meeting stringent industry standards for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics.

Applies Labels to Cylindrical Containers

The ETF-300 from Siempharma is an automatic labelling machine specifically engineered for high-speed application on cylindrical containers such as pharmaceutical vials and cosmetic bottles. It uses a precision endless screw system for product spacing, ensuring accurate label placement with its wrap-around rubber belt. The system is adept at labelling pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic products, supporting end-products like essential oils and vitamin supplement bottles. The machine features intuitive touch screen controls and offers flexibility with swift size changeovers and minimal mechanical adjustments. Designed with an aluminum chassis and stainless-steel panels, it meets INDUSTRY 4.0 standards, is CFR21 part 11 / EU ANNEX 11 ready, and complies with GMP and CE regulations. The ETF-300 can be integrated into existing production lines with optional vision systems for data checking and label detection, complete with a rejection system for non-compliant items. Maintenance is straightforward, facilitated by full operator accessibility and cleaning-friendly design.
