US-based Ossid, a division of integrated packaging products Pro Mach has unveiled a new weigh-price labeler, Ossid WPL1522. The labeler has been introduced for meat, poultry, dairy products, seafood, and produce packing operations that require a rugged, versatile, and fast machine up to 120 packages per minute.
The splash-proof weigh-price labeler, designed for wet environments with high moisture content features stainless steel construction. With no exposed electronics, IP67 rated connectors, motors, load cell and touch screen and with sealed conveyor roller bearings, the labeler meets IEC standard's IP67 rating.
According to Ossid, the labeler can run a variety of packages with repeatable label placement and can run both top and bottom labels in a variety of sizes with true type fonts and graphics up to 4" x 5" with standard tamp.
With the addition of a simple diverter/kickoff mechanism, the unit can function as a check weigher. It is capable of printing 21 different Bar Code symbologies, including 2D and its physical contact finger tamp system ensures accurate label placement on package.
Users will have a wide selection of print engines with up to 16 inches (406mm) per second of printing speed, with the new WPL1522 labeler. It connects to business systems and allows automatic order processing and tracking, remote user training, off-site maintenance and download of print requirements.
The unit collects raw data automatically for every package to create real-time reports that can be delivered through email or PDA. Standard operator interface languages include English and Spanish.
Ossid weigh-price labeler product manager Mike Alyounes said the labeler allows a number of meat, poultry, dairy, seafood, and produce processors to perform labeling and final packaging in the same high moisture room where food processing and primary packaging takes place.
"The new splash-proof WPL1522 weigh-price labeler was designed specifically to remove these types of production worries from customers while giving them a versatile machine," Alyounes said.
