shape, design, texture and content
from customer to customer. Luiten
Food must therefore be able to
react flexibly to the requirements
of the retail industry.
There are customers who require
product labelling on the bottom
of packages. This is particularly
preferred for skin packs. Other
customers want several labels
on the bottom and top of the
package as standard labelling.
This is the case with classic MAP
trays, for example. And yet other
customers expect an all-round
banderole (C or D labelling) for
their products. In order to meet
all these requirements, Luiten
Food has designed its labelling
lines to provide maximum
flexibility in terms of shelf life,
quality, sustainability and product
appearance. An ESPERA machine
combination consisting of a
labelling system with integrated
scales and labeller as well as
an associated machine for C / D
labelling is used for this purpose.
Both systems communicate with
each other and are combined to
save space. The data flow of all
label information to be printed
comes in real time via a full online
connection of the machines.
WEIGHING AND LABELLING
OF DIFFERENT TYPES
OF PACKAGES WITHOUT
CHANGING THE LINE AND
WITHOUT EXTENSIVE
MACHINE CHANGEOVERS
The labelling system of the
ESPERA series ES 7000 enables the
individual weighing and labelling
of products. For example, weightprice-dependent
information, which
varies from product to product,
or nutritional value and allergen
information can be printed.
In addition, a labeling system for
pre-printed labels is integrated into
this system. This allows, for example,
pre-printed advertising labels
or promotional labels to be applied
directly to the package in the automated
line. This is because retailers
often have a need for special
labels or decorative labels. For
example, during seasonal business
or for special price promotions.
For customers who prefer a label as
a banderole around their packages,
the NOBAC C- and D-labelling
system, also fully integrated by
ESPERA, allows full flexibility. Preprinted
cardboards or banderole
labels are automatically wrapped or
glued around the package and offer
space for a large advertising and a
high-quality visual appearance of
product packages.
If, for example, the retail markets
want both, an all-round banderole
label and an additional label on the
top / bottom of the pack, this is
easily possible with this combined
line.
