INDUSTRY COMPONENT

Labeling Area

Automated labeling station for pharmaceutical vials ensuring precise label application and regulatory compliance.

Component Specifications

Definition
The Labeling Area is a critical component of pharmaceutical vial packaging machinery designed to apply labels with high precision, accuracy, and repeatability. It integrates mechanical, optical, and control systems to handle various vial sizes and label types while maintaining sterile conditions and meeting stringent pharmaceutical standards.
Working Principle
Operates through a synchronized process: vials are positioned via conveyor, labels are dispensed from roll or sheet, adhesive is applied (if not pre-applied), and labels are precisely placed using mechanical arms or vacuum systems. Optical sensors verify position, orientation, and print quality before and after application.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 304/316L) for structural parts, food-grade plastics (polycarbonate, PTFE) for contact surfaces, silicone rollers, and optical-grade glass for sensors.
Technical Parameters
  • Compressed Air 6 bar, dry and oil-free
  • Label Accuracy ±0.5 mm
  • Labeling Speed Up to 400 vials per minute
  • Label Size Range 20x20 mm to 100x150 mm
  • Power Requirement 24V DC, 3-phase 400V AC
  • Vial Diameter Range 10-100 mm
Standards
ISO 15378, ISO 9001, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, GMP
