Carton labeling station

The station is used for labeling cartons of various dimensions - the only limitation is the width of the carton, which cannot exceed 500mm. Each carton is labeled on two adjacent sides - the labels are retrieved online from the client's database.

The station consists of:

• two automatically controlled platform lifts (for the height of the belt conveyors);
• two belt conveyors (using two conveyors allows for automatic separation of cartons);
• a roller conveyor serving as a buffer;
• a printer-labeler for printing and applying labels;
• a computer station controlling the system's operation and supporting the client's database;
• an additional printer, enabling extra label printing.

The device combines the functions of printing and applying labels to cartons moving on the conveyor. The cartons are manually placed on the conveyor and manually removed. At the input and output, the device has 2 independent lifts for raising and lowering pallets with cartons, assisting the operator. The device automatically separates the cartons on the belt to enable smooth labeling.

The labeler operates as a standalone labeling station, where label printing is triggered by reading the barcode on the carton (production tag). The printed labels are marked in the device system and blocked from being automatically reprinted, but the operator has the option to manually reprint them on an additional printer for bulk labels. Labeled cartons go to the roller conveyor, which is emptied by the operator.
