HERMA 152E labeler, compact, precise and cost-effective

Up until now, users often had to make a difficult decision when applying wrap-around labeling to medicinal products, for example: Will an inexpensive and compact standard system with little scope for expansion suffice given the common product dimensions? Or does this require a more complex and expansive special machine with longer lead times because different printing and control systems have to be integrated? With this in mind, HERMA will present an innovative solution that virtually offers the best of both worlds at interpack 2017 (Hall 12, Stand B24): the compact 152E wrap-around labeling system covers a wide range of product dimensions but can, for example, be equipped with the complete pharmaceutical equipment from the outset. This includes, for example, modules for variable data printing, for controlling printing and codes or for checking that labels are present and for the corresponding ejection.

Stable and efficient production processes
HERMA produces the new 152E in two variants: the version with a label application belt has no format sets whatsoever. This not only leads to particularly short set-up times but also to a remarkable performance of up to 100 products per minute. Higher precision can be achieved in the version with the roller prism. This version handles around 90 products per minute. Only a few format sets have to be replaced here when changing the product dimensions. A rotary starwheel no longer needs to be replaced on both variants through the use of a linear concept. With the 152E, ejection is effected via a box. “Some users, such as pharmaceutical or cosmetic manufacturers, place great value on stable and efficient production processes. Short set-up times but also the perfect interplay of proven and optimally coordinated modules are important prerequisites in this respect”, states Martin Kühl, Head of the HERMA Labeling Machines Division. “The new 152E fulfils every need in the case of common product dimensions and even with typical pharmaceutical requirements through the use of standard components.”
