link to weigh-scales from a range of manufacturers for variable-weight products, as well as check weighing. Speeds up to 125ppm are achievable.
Result Group general manager Michael Dossor said, “Our partnership with Ravenwood allows us to deliver the best linerless technology, support packaging minimisation initiatives, and contribute towards delivering sustainability targets for landfill reduction.”
In addition to linerless solutions for fresh food, Result Group has also extended its range of linerless systems for shipping cartons.
The HERMA linerless system is designed to apply labels to the side or top of outer shipper cartons or boxes of different heights that are fed to the applicator in any sequence.
The InNo-liner system transfers the initially non-sticky
label to a tamp pad, which is equipped with a box height sensor and a linear dosing unit.
A water activation unit performs a transverse motion underneath the label where it activates the adhesive with a highly consistent spray of micro-atomised water. Then the linear transfer unit automatically moves the tamp pad with the activated label to the required labelling height for the next case in the line.
This is all done at the same speed of a traditional print and apply labelling system.
“The key benefit of the system is that no coatings are placed on the surface of the face-stocks to aid in the unwinding of the stock on the applicators,” said Dossor. “This means no negative impact is felt with variable printing, a key challenge with alternative linerless systems and, standard direct thermal and thermal transfer materials
can be used. There is simply no change to the way the cartons are recycled in current systems.”
The HERMA linerless technology further complements Result Group’s existing Ravenwood linerless technology for finished products.
