Pallet labeling system

Legi-Air AP182

The pallet labeler labels GS1-compliant on up to 3 sides in 2 orientations

Two label orientations: portrait and landscape
Three-sided labeling with only two pallet stops
Labels up to 120 pallets per hour
Infrequent roll changes thanks to large label rolls
Clear system structure for maintenance without a technician
Label size min. 50 x 50 mm, max. 160 x 210 mm

The Legi-Air AP182 pallet labeler creates and processes GS1-compliant labels in DIN A5 or DIN A6 format; other label sizes are optionally available. The labeling material can be applied to pallets ready for dispatch in portrait or landscape format. For example, portrait-format transport labels or landscape-format labels with content information can be processed. The use of label rolls with a diameter of 350 millimetres ensures an efficient and long production time. The AP 182 achieves high speeds of 120 pallets per hour for two-sided labeling and 90 pallets per hour for three-sided labeling. The labels are printed by an integrated print module. A wide selection of high-quality print modules from renowned manufacturers is available for configuration, achieving print resolutions of up to 600 dpi. As it does not require a safety fence thanks to its intrinsically safe design, the system saves costs and effort in logistics.

The first sensor serves as an optically variable stroke sensor. It detects the distance to the pallet and, depending on the setting, triggers the label to be blown off the tamp from a distance of around 15 millimetres and triggers the tamp to retract to the home position. The second built-in optical sensor is directed inwards, towards the spring bearing of the tamp.

The rectangular enclosure of the pallet labeler consists of a profile frame construction which, with the exception of the transparent side door, is enclosed by stainless steel sheets. The winding and unwind unit and print module can be moved and are easily accessible for quick and easy material changes.

The freely programmable travel paths reliably compensate even for large layer tolerances – for example in cases of underloading or overloading. The system also demonstrates its full strength in mixed operation with industrial and Euro pallets. This flexibility ensures that a wide variety of palletizing requirements can be met safely and precisely. As a result, the process remains stable, efficient, and adaptable, even when conditions vary.

The system has a pivoting applicator head that can dispense the individually printed labels either over a short distance by air blast or via direct contact of the spring-mounted (presses label against) peeler plate to the product surface. End marking in a narrow gap of approx. 250 millimetres between two products can also be realised. Labeling of pallets on up to three different sides (front, side, back) GS1-compliant.
