The stainless steel cabinet features slide out access to the electronic and pneumatic controls, allowing for easy access for setup and servicing. The operator interface is a touchscreen display.
The Model 455 is equipped with a stainless steel hood to completely seal the system for wash down routines. When the machine is in use, the hood is open. The touch of a lever closes it on its pneumatic cushion to seal the machine. When cleaning is completed, the same lever resets the hood back to the open position ready to run.
The vacuum belt applicator allows labeling to take place independently of the print engine speed, and is said to provide an increase in output up to 30-40% compared to conventional tamp applicators.
The Model 455 can apply a single label to the side of the product or can wrap the label around the corner using a secondary wipe station.
