Hartenholm, November 2024 – For the first time at the BrauBeviale trade fair, Logopak Systeme presents its innovative Logomatic 850 PSC cord labelling system, designed for residue-free labelling of pallets with returnable beverage crates. Labels dispensed by the system are attached to a reusable cord made of recycled textile fibres. Alongside enhanced process efficiency – the label is affixed during the strapping process in a single step – the Logomatic 850 PSC contributes significantly to sustainability by eliminating the need for plastic straps to secure labels. Moreover, reusable crates are free from label material and adhesive residue after use. By employing FSC-certified linerless labels, the system avoids backing material waste and minimises the CO2 footprint of labelling processes.
Breweries, mineral water producers, and beverage manufacturers who secure their robust, standardised, and stackable returnable crates on pallets with string are ideal candidates for the Logomatic 850 PSC. However, the system is equally suitable for labelling in industries beyond beverages, wherever stable packaging such as boxes or crates are palletised as flush, uniform stacks and secured with cord.
Labelling and Securing: Dual Functionality Saves Time
The Logomatic 850 PSC is an alternative to the highly successful Logomatic 920 PSCK, which has seen numerous installations since its market introduction in 2013. The new labelling system offers the following performance metrics:
- Labelling with one label: 120 pallets/hour
- Labelling with two labels (front/side): 90–100 pallets/hour
- Labelling with two labels (side/back): 100–110 pallets/hour
- Labelling with three labels (front/side/back): 70 pallets/hour
The system supports A5-sized labels (150 mm x 210 mm) with 65 mm dedicated to folding the label around the securing string, enabling application on up to three sides. This is achieved through a telescopic applicator with 550 mm effective reach and stepless height adjustment, ensuring fast and precise labelling on all required surfaces.
The Logomatic 850 PSC boasts a print speed of 300 mm per second and handles label rolls with lengths exceeding 800 m for extended change intervals. Label roll diameters of up to 400 mm are supported. During operation, printing and application of a single label take under 10 seconds, allowing the system’s dual functionality to deliver significant process time savings. Label readability is verified through a 100% code check directly at the applicator, with automatic replacement of defective labels.
Debuted at BrauBeviale, the Logomatic 850 PSC offers efficient and sustainable labelling solutions for pallets with returnable beverage crates.
