Herma expands range of labeling machinery to emphasize "innovation and functionality"
31 Aug 2018 --- Self-adhesive technology specialists Herma US is set to feature new options on several of its labeling machines at Healthcare Packaging Expo October 14-17, Chicago. Highlights will include a tamper-evident side labeler and wrap-around labeler with motion control for faster runs.
Herma is a specialist in self-adhesive technology. The company’s comprehensive range of products spans the labeling production process to include labeling machinery, a variety of adhesive materials and finished self-adhesive products.
“By adding new features to our existing line of machinery, Herma continues to emphasize innovation and functionality,” says Peter Goff, CEO of Herma US. “These capabilities will ensure continuous success in packaging lines in major pharmaceutical companies here in North America and worldwide.”
First, Herma will showcase its Herma 362 E TE tamper-evident labeling system. Derived from the proven Herma 362E front/back labeling system, the 362 E TE can apply one or two tamper-evident labels to a wide range of cartons. Tamper-evident labels are a legal requirement forming a vital component in product security for pharmaceutical cartons. Capable of achieving speeds of over 200 cartons per minute, the Herma 362E TE can be installed with a TIJ or laser coders, as well as a wide range of track and trace systems to produce fully serialized and inspected cartons.
Herma US also will be touting a higher-speed, motion control version of its Herma 132M Wrap-around Labeler, which is now available at expedited speeds of 400 products per minute. The turret-based machine features a rotating star wheel for precise product transport. It can be outfitted with a wide range of printing and vision systems and features automatic rejection of out-of-specification labels before they are applied.
Finally, Herma US will showcase its 152E Wraparound Labeler, which features the same heavy-duty label applicator platform as the company’s premium “M” (Master) series, allowing for simple installation of printers and vision systems. The module can handle substrate diameters from ½” to 4” at speeds of up to 150 products per minute and can be fitted with either an Allen-Bradley or Siemens PLC controller.
Herma’s flexible labeling machines are designed, developed, and built for integration into industrial processes, while its self-adhesive paper and film compounds are manufactured with industry-leading standards. The company’s range of finished adhesive products includes labels for a broad set of industries, including healthcare and pharmaceuticals, automotive and electrical, chemicals, food, cosmetics, and logistics. The company’s three divisions comprise nearly 1,000 personnel.
Herma US will be located at Booth W-838.
