ID Technology’s specialized Pallet Labeler Model 252E-AC for use in the harshest environments features a stainless steel enclosure to protect the label printer applicator from dust and debris, and an air conditioner/heater mounted below the enclosure as part of the fixed base stand to control the temperature inside the enclosure; it is no longer necessary to use a separate enclosure to protect the applicator, since the enclosure and applicator are one.
