Panel label applicator for trays and containers
Ensuring accurate and efficient label placement on trays or containers in a food processing environment is critical for compliance and consumer information. Challenges include maintaining label adhesion and managing variable data on each pack.
Applies and verifies labels on three sides
The C3 Panel Label Applicator by Marel is designed for wraparound labeling of pre-printed self-adhesive labels on two or three sides of a tray or container. Its unique brush wiper assembly ensures 100% adhesion, maintaining label accuracy even at high speeds. The system integrates with a thermal transfer printer, adding variable data such as bar codes, sell-by dates, and nutritional information before application. Additionally, it can function as a Weigh Price Labeler or Checkweigher when integrated with a weighing system, providing printed labels with variable information in each pack. Built with stainless steel for durability, this applicator offers quick release fittings for fast label changes and can connect upstream to weighing devices for comprehensive labeling solutions.
