Legi-Air 4050 TWIN

A new system for the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures was introduced throughout Europe on 20th January 2009, when the European GHS regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, also referred to as CLP regulation, entered into force. The new EU directive also affects labelling requirements. New pictograms in the shape of a red diamond with a white background are replacing the orange ones in the EU.

Labelling solution for GHS requirement

The Legi-Air Twin, with its two series-connected printing modules, is the answer to meeting the legal requirements. Apart from the hazard statements “H” and the precautionary statements “P”, the 2-coloured warning symbols are also printed in the required quantities and dimensions. As well as product designations, quantity information, logos, and barcodes (1- or 2-dimensional) are printed clearly. Legi-Air Twin labels different sized pallets, folding boxes and especially barrels, in through-feed mode, with small and large label sizes, multi-coloured and at various customized positions on the containers.

In developing the Legi-Air Twin, reliable handling of large size labels received particular attention. It is based on the Legi-Air 4050, which is fitted with a special belt applicator adjacent to the second print unit. This is designed so that, with barrel labelling for instance, it automatically adjusts to match the height and diameter of different sized containers. This enables accurate, central labelling away from the seams.
