Labeling Area: Vial Diameter Range 10-100 mm

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.
