Launched at this year’s
PPMA Show, the
Logopak Logomatic
510 Rota is a new
generation print &
apply labelling machine
that allows high volume
goods such as pharmaceuticals,
CDs and some tobacco products
to be identified at full line speed
with a unique barcode.

The company says that, unlike
some standard print & apply
machines that are designed for
speeds to 100/min, the Logomatic
510 Rota is able to reach speeds of
240 a minute using a six head rotary
applicator. This allows application of
one label as the next is printed,
boosting machine speed.

The new machine is based
on a standard Logopak 515
case labeller but with the
printed labels picked up by
vacuum on the rotary
applicator and then
transferred to the pack
by direct pressure or
air-blast.

As a result, operation
is virtually continuous
motion, with no reciprocating parts.
