Rotary Labeler RL-420

High-Speed, Precise, Flexible Labeling

Designed for the application of a film or paper pressure sensitive label to virtually any shape container, the WLS RL-420 rotary labeler combines a robust modular platform with air-actuated top hold, and cam-activated or motor-driven product rotation. This design ensures years of trouble-free operation at highest efficiency levels with minimal maintenance requirements. The RL-420 comes with an enhanced zero-access guarding package, meeting the most stringent safety standards.

RL-420 High Speed Rotary Labelers can be configured with a variety of options such as single or redundant servomotor-driven label heads, label coding and inspection including serialized codes, precise container orientation, sidesert or topsert placement, integrated feeding systems such as a cup placer, IP-25 wash down design, and 21CFR Part 11 and CE compliance.

The RL-420 is the latest update in our long history of robust machine designs. Backed by WLS' reputation of quality, impeccable service and customer care, and industry leading extended warranty coverage, it is built to meet the most challenging labeling demands.
