"Air-jet" non-contact label applicator guarantees a maximum care even for delicate products.

The console and graphic display provide the required information to the user and facilitates the programming of the system.

In addition, the PC connection allows to program the system, the graphic design of labels and the analysis of the production data received from the equipment.

Stainless Steel structure and FDA approved bands -if necessary- ensures the fulfilling of the current regulations concerning the food industry.

The modular design allows adapting the system to different product dimensions and special weighing capacities, not included in the standard models.

Speed
Up to 75 packages per minute, in weighing and labeling; speed can be general or associated to each PLU in order to optimize the performance of each of them.
(The real speed will depend on the size, shape, weight, product labeling system and the regularity of incoming packs to the LS-3000).

Plus
8.000, with 2 product names, price, tare, 3 dates, bar code format, 10 texts of 24 characters, 1 text of 1.000 characters (for 1.000 PLUS); 4.000 ingredients, 1.000 clients, which will enable to manage the labeling of customer´s orders.
