pharmaceutical industryhigh-speedlinear

Overview
The SENSITIVE AP400 Series is a family of automatic linear labellers engineered for high‑speed application of self‑adhesive labels onto cartons. Models are available as standalone units or configured for integration into secondary packaging lines. The series supports tamper‑evident seals, vignette/top labels, up to three labelling heads, printer integration and vision systems for Track & Trace and verification.

Available models (examples)

• SENSITIVE AP400 CW — integrated with 100% check‑weighing for per‑carton weight verification.
• SENSITIVE AP400 3T — configurable up to three labelling heads (e.g. two side heads for tamper seals + one top head).
• SENSITIVE AP400 C — compact, space‑saving layout (approx. 1400 mm length).
• SENSITIVE AP400 T — dedicated tamper‑evident configuration for high‑speed TE seal application.

Key capabilities and functions

• High‑speed carton labelling — depending on model and configuration, up to 400–500 cartons/min.
• Support for 1–3 labelling heads: top vignette and side tamper‑evident labels.
• Overprinting and serialisation: integration of inkjet/laser printers and camera/vision systems for 2D Data Matrix and barcode verification.
• Positive product transport using toothed belts for precise carton transfer through labelling zones.
• Full servomotor drive for synchronized label dispensing, application and conveyor motion.
• Label reel holders sliding on rails with automatic de‑reeling and end‑of‑roll detection for fast changeovers.
• Intuitive HMI for recipe management, machine monitoring and data collection.
• Triple rejection strategy: reject on weight non‑conformity, missing/incorrect labelling or failed print/inspection.
• Stainless‑steel construction with ergonomic access, suitable for regulated environments and easy cleaning/maintenance.
• Handles a wide range of carton styles including aeroplane style and reverse tuck cartons.

Typical plant / use
Designed for pharmaceutical and other regulated production lines where product protection, tamper evidence and Track & Trace/serialisation are required. Machines are supplied as stand‑alone units or integrated into complete secondary packaging lines.

Machine versions — short descriptions

• SENSITIVE AP400 3T: Flexible, configurable from 1 to 3 heads. Suitable where both vignette and tamper‑evident seals are needed; designed for easy maintenance.
• SENSITIVE AP400 CW: Combines labelling with 100% check‑weighing; applies labels on multiple carton faces while verifying weight. Includes positive transport and multi‑stage rejection for quality control.
• SENSITIVE AP400 C: Compact footprint (approx. 1400 mm length), up to three heads; ideal for space‑restricted installations or retrofits.
• SENSITIVE AP400 T: High‑speed tamper‑evident labeller with synchronized servo control for accurate TE seal application.
