Moving to a new hall and stand location for the first time in many years for improved visibility, Newman Labelling Systems’s top of the range S350 fully automatic, versatile labelling system will take pride of place at interpack.
The S350 has been designed to operate 24/7 at a true production rate of up to 300 containers per minute with high levels of efficiency according to DIN 8743. It is capable of applying both paper and clear plastic labels to cylindrical products in glass, plastic, metal and composite materials. Both label and container size changes can be rapidly achieved without the use of tools, and digital scales provide repeatable container changeover in minutes.
A compact cGMP Design, manufactured in stainless steel 304 finish, the S350 comes with a range of features as standard, such as Auto-teach label length facility, a positive accept security system and In Process Control.
The latest data-bus technology has been utilised to simplify the integration of security and ancillary devices such as vision systems to allow the latest track and trace applications to be accommodated.
A further enhancement to meet track and trace requirements comes in the form of Newman’s Faulty Label Removal (FLR) system, with its automatic controlling of reject labels, which will also be demonstrated at interpack. In operation, should the FLR system not receive good signals from the scanning/security devices in use (including barcode reader, missing overprint detector, OCV camera and 2D matrix code reader), the faulty label is securely removed from the label web prior to application onto the container. These faulty labels are then transferred to a paper roll for batch reconciliation and inspection.
Newman Labelling Systems’s customer base includes the world’s top ten pharmaceutical companies. All purpose-built systems are fully compliant with FDA cGMP requirements and can be supplied with validation completed up to PQ.
