Labeling solution for bottles and vials

Optimize your packaging line with this advanced labeling solution, designed to ensure precision and reliability in affixing labels to a variety of non-stable containers like vials and bottles. Ideal for high-speed operations demanding gentle handling and accurate results.

Applies and Inspects Labels on Vials and Bottles

The ESF Series from Bausch+Ströbel consists of high-speed modular labeling machines tailored for pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and healthcare packaging needs. These machines are adept at applying self-adhesive labels to vials and bottles with precision, ensuring consistent quality through continuous-motion processes. Each machine in this series offers a modular design, allowing for the integration of inspection systems and various printing options like thermal transfer and laser printers. Ideal for labeling products such as vaccine vials and liquid dietary supplements, the ESF Series efficiently supports production capacities up to 21,000 items per hour. Its gentle container transport and comprehensive inspection capabilities—including image processing systems for 100% inspection of printed data—ensure high reliability in label application. Designed with ease of use in mind, the ESF Series features fast label web loading and minimal manual adjustments, reducing errors and downtime. Compliance with industry standards and programmable logic control (PLC) systems enable seamless integration into existing production lines, while optional cleanroom-compatible modifications enhance application scope. Supporting both standard maintenance protocols and qualification processes, this series offers a robust solution for pharmaceutical manufacturers and contract manufacturing organizations aiming to optimize their labeling operations.
