Powtech 2019
Labeling in dusty production environments
Marking specialist Bluhm Systeme will be showcasing its wide range of technical solutions at this year's Powtech from April 9 to 11 in Nuremberg.
Dusty production environments, such as those found in the processing of powders and bulk materials, are a particular challenge for marking technology. For such applications, Bluhm Systeme has a compact thermal inkjet printer with protection class IP 65 in its range. With its small dimensions of 188 x 80 x 98 mm, the Markoprint Integra One with HP cartridge technology can be easily installed in or on production systems.
With top speeds of more than 180 m/min, the Integra One prints logos, variable texts, barcodes and data matrix codes in brilliant quality and up to 12.5 mm high. Changes to the variable fields or settings can be made directly on site on the user-friendly display. SmartCard cartridge monitoring automatically detects the ink type and sets all values correctly straight away. There is no need for manual adjustment when changing inks.
The new Alpha HSM label dispenser is used for labeling sacks or big bags in dusty environments. The labeler can be easily adapted to the respective production environment and is well protected with protection class IP 65. With a cycle rate of up to 33 labels per second (2,000 labels per minute), the dispenser ranks in the high-speed segment.
The labels are applied using the so-called wipe-on process. In this process, the passing product picks up the label from the dispensing tongue of the labeler. A roller or brush directly behind the dispensing tongue also presses the label onto the product surface. In this way, the flexible and movable surfaces of sacks or big bags can be labeled without bubbles.
The Bluhmware software controls entire packaging lines fully automatically in line with Industry 4.0. In addition to marking, this includes the packaging, labeling and palletizing of products. This means that not only the marking systems can be connected to Bluhmware, but also other modules that receive their commands and data directly from the software. These include not only labelers, laser markers, printers or label print dispensers, but also scanners, robots, unpackers, sensors, camera inspection systems and palletizers.
