Model 5300 Series Tamp-Blow Pallet Label Printer-Applicator

Model 5300 Series Tamp-Blow Pallet Label Printer-Applicator

Specially engineered for the labelling of pallet loads, each system integrates a thermal/thermal-transfer label printer and a patented tamp-blow applicator. The print-apply unit is mounted onto a heavy-duty stand which is adjustable to accommodate pallet loads of various heights. You can add this labeller to the end of your palletiser system’s conveyor.

As a pressure-sensitive label is printed, it is automatically peeled from its liner and retained by vacuum on the applicator pad. When a pallet load is delivered to the system, a product sensor initiates the extension of the tamp arm and the label is blown onto the load from approximately 0.25″.

These systems are available with high-quality print engines manufactured by Datamax, Sato and Zebra. Pallet label sizes range from a minimum of 0.75″ wide and 0.5″ long to a maximum of 7.0″ wide and 8.0″ long. The printers are capable of producing labels with variable-sized text, high-density bar codes and graphic images at print speeds up to 16 ips.

Special Features & Options

The Model 5300 pallet load system includes a number of noteworthy features that add to the operational versatility of this printer-applicator:

• Browser-based monitoring: The status of all operational functions and configurations can be monitored by logging on to a web page that is unique to each Model 5300 unit.

• Numerous I/O’s: The system can be interfaced with many types of external devices.

• One-to-one media consumption: Special label unwind and rewind dimensions are matched to the system’s ribbon supply to ensure they are consumed at the same rate, reducing downtime and eliminating partial changeovers.

• Print job storage: Multiple label printing formats can be stored in the system’s memory, making it easier for an operator to select a job directly from the applicator instead of downloading a computer file.

This system boasts numerous additional features including a microprocessor controller with downloadable firewall capability, various inputs/outputs plus durable construction that will withstand harsh industrial environments.

Other options include a 15-foot umbilical connection that enables the remote location of the unit’s controller, an adjustable stand for optimum system orientation; label-on-pad sensor for added functionality plus beacon light alerts to signal the status of label and ribbon supplies.
