RL-420 Labeling Plastic Bottles and Associating the Serialized Label Code with a Bottle Helper Code

The RL-420 is ideal for non-round, self-standing containers and bottle applications. With its high speed and precise labeling application of a film or paper pressure sensitive label on to containers, the WLS RL rotary labeler combines a modular platform with motor-driven platforms for consistent and accurate label placement. The RL fully synchronized electronic drive train also allows for ease of operation and fast changeovers via HMI-based recipe control. This construction ensures years of trouble free operation at the highest efficiency levels and minimal maintenance requirements. The RL comes with a zero-access guarding package, which meets the most stringent safety standards and can be configured with a variety of options, such as precise container orientation, a single or redundant label head(s), label coding and inspection (including serialized codes), RFID tags integration, Interceptor feature, sidesert or topsert placement, integrated feeding systems (like a cup placer), 21CFR Part 11 and CE compliance. The WLS Interceptor removes, counts and rewinds rejected labels prior to their application on to a container.

On this bottle line video, the RL-420 labels plastic bottles at over 200ppm. This particular machine includes a X-4 label head with laser coding and inspection camera, the aggregation of a pre-printer bottle helper code with the serialized label code on the out-feed star wheel, and a reject station for missing labels. This solution eliminates the need for a stand-alone aggregation station later in the packaging process. Learn more about bottle labeling by contacting Weiler.
