Carton labeler SENSITIVE AP400 Series

pharmaceutical industryautomaticlinear

Overview
The SENSITIVE AP400 is a complete series of automatic linear labellers designed to apply self-adhesive labels to cartons at high speeds. The series comprises several models with specific features and can be supplied as stand-alone units or integrated in complete packaging lines.

• SENSITIVE AP400 CW (100% check-weighing)
• SENSITIVE AP400 3T (up to 3 heads)
• SENSITIVE AP400 C (compact)
• SENSITIVE AP400 T (tamper-evident labels)

Key capabilities
The series is configurable to customer requirements and can accommodate up to three labelling heads (two side heads for tamper-evident seals and one top head for vignette labels). It supports printing and verification of tracking codes (2D Data Matrix, barcode) and integration of inkjet/laser printers, camera vision systems and other software for Track & Trace and serialisation. Full servomotor technology is used to ensure high precision.

Highlights

• Smart design: Compact, ergonomic stainless-steel construction optimised for pharmaceutical environments; easy access for cleaning and maintenance.
• Type of cartons: Handles a wide range of carton styles including aeroplane style and reverse-tuck cartons.
• Printing and serialisation: Supports overprinting devices and camera vision systems for Track & Trace and serialisation assurance.
• Full servomotor technology: Ensures maximum labelling precision.
• Smooth carton transfer: Positive transport with toothed belt for smooth transfer across working areas.
• Easy label handling: Label reel holders slide on rails with automatic de-reeling and end-of-reel detection sensors.
• Intuitive HMI: Effective machine monitoring and data collection supervision.
• Triple rejection system: Rejects cartons failing weight parameters, unlabelled/un-serialised cartons or cartons with printing/labelling non-conformities.

Machine versions (summary)

• SENSITIVE AP400 3T: Versatile configuration options (1–3 labelling heads). Designed for tamper-evident sealing and vignette application at high speeds; ergonomic and easy on maintenance.
• SENSITIVE AP400 CW: Integrated 100% check-weighing system; applies labels on up to three carton sides while performing weight verification and serialisation checks; includes three rejection systems and positive product transport for high production flow (up to 400 ppm depending on configuration).
• SENSITIVE AP400 C: Compact, space-efficient (approx. 1,400 mm length) version suitable for restricted footprints; supports up to three labelling heads for top/bottom and tamper-evident applications; ideal as stand-alone or for line integration/upgrades.
• SENSITIVE AP400 T: Focused on tamper-evident sealing; compact and ergonomic with two labelling units on carton sides; stepping/servo synchronisation for precise application; high throughput with reduced footprint.
