Industrial Labelling Systems (ILS) is reporting strong demand for its FlexWipe pallet labelling system.
The print and packaging labelling specialist said the combination of a small footprint, fast operation and high safety standards together with the ability to work across a wide variety of temperatures down to -28°C have ‘revolutionised’ pallet labelling.
To date ILS has installed over 80 FlexWipe systems across Europe, USA and Australia and is continuing to see demand grow in the past 18 months, particularly in the cold storage sector.
Built around two independent, motorised arms which can move both horizontally and vertically, the ILS FlexWipe can quickly and reliably label three sides of a pallet without having to halt production.
The FlexWipe’s built-in validation check scanner is designed to read one or two-dimensional bar codes. Combined with the lightweight arms, this ensures fast but controlled automation for pallet labelling, in a machine which takes up less than 1m² on the shop floor.
Safety features include a specialist sensor technology with pulse encoders inside the controlling stepper monitor, so every unit automatically stops and pivots itself away if it senses a foreign object or person in possible trap points. This
Denis Brett, managing director at ILS, said: “In the competitive chilled and frozen products sector, manufacturers are looking for a reliable pallet labelling system that can maintain throughput to meet the often-demanding requirements of the supply chain.”
“In addition, with its ability to apply labels non-stop in often harsh operational environments, the FlexWipe is also helping customers remove team members from these conditions, increasing site safety and production efficiently.”
