    ETF-300 automatic labeling system

    The ETF-300 Labeling Machine is a high-speed automatic unit for applying labels to cylindrical pharmaceutical containers, including jars and bottles. Providing fast, accurate labeling, it accommodates container heights from 2 to 7 in (40 to 180 mm) and diameters from 0.9 to 3 in (22 to 80 mm). The system can apply labels up to 4 in (100 mm) in height at speeds of up to 260 ft/min (80 m/min).

    Changeover between different container and label sizes can be completed in 15 to 30 minutes to minimize downtime. The machine supports multiple printing technologies, including thermal transfer, thermal ink jet, and laser, and includes a micrometric peeling plate and wraparound handling belt for precise label application.

    The unit is built with Industry 4.0 connectivity in mind and is preconfigured for track-and-trace applications. Vision systems and traceability-compatible printers can be integrated at several points along the line to enable barcode verification and OCR-OCV checks of variable data.

    Additional features include minimum and maximum load control, conveyor protection tunnels, and tight-tolerance reject mechanisms. A position indicator and graduated scales simplify format changes, while a touchscreen interface provides intuitive single-operator control.

    Constructed with an aluminum chassis and AISI 304 stainless steel panels and base, the system features Lexan safety doors with interlock switches and a design that provides clear visibility and accessibility. Servo motors reduce the need for mechanical transmissions or phasing adjustments during setup or maintenance.
