balm sticks, for exam-
ple, don’t offer much
surface area, but need declarations neverthe-
less. Handling these small
products for optimum
alignment while the dec-
larations are being printed
can quickly become a challenge. Declaration
specialist Bluhm Systeme
has therefore developed a specialised system for labelling and printing very small cosmetics prod- ucts. The new Geset 700 labelling system consists of a label dispenser, a laser marker and related conveying technology. Up to 150 cylindrical cos- metic products per minute are labelled by the system, using preprinted labels

and individual batch num-
bers. The new system reliably transports the small cylindri- cal products throughout the entire marking process: a vibration belt moves the upright sticks to a prod- uct turner, which turns them by 90 degrees using a spiral. In the prone position, the products pass over so- called prism rollers, which transport them through the system at a pre- defined distance from each other. To ensure traceability, the lip balm sticks must receive individualised batch information. A laser marker adds
these data to the labels before these are issued by the dispenser. For safety reasons, a camera then immediately validates the printed information. ■
What is going on in the cosmetics indus- try and which sustainable solutions the sector has ready, is waiting for visi- tors to discover at the world’s biggest trade fair for processing and packag- ing in Düsseldorf. From 4 to 10 May, 2023, in halls 15, 16 and 17, exhibitors at Interpack will present developments in filling and packaging of cosmetics and personal care products.
