Carton serialization

S 500 carton family

To ensure reliable carton serialization, cartons shall be guided with precision, aligned stably, inspected reliably and discharged accurately. The S 500 carton family is designed for these process steps and ensures stable operations across a variety of carton formats, high cycle rates and changing operational requirements.

The unit is equipped with either an inkjet or laser printer, as well as the VisioRead inspection system. To meet additional requirements for carton serialization, the S 500 can be expanded with components such as tamper-evident labeling, top labeling and top printing.

Bottle labeler

S 500 bottle family

The S 500 bottle labeler is a GMP-compliant, flexible and continuously operating system. With an output of 150 bottles per minute, the machine is perfectly matched to our IBC 150 bottle filling line. The S 500 has a large format range and works without format parts.

The labeler processes round and square containers made of plastic or glass – from standard bottles to vials and ampoules. In addition to the labeling and serialization of bottles, the S 500 series also offers 360° code inspection.

Track & Trace solution from a single source

Digital Solutions

With Pexcite, you can integrate the S 500 directly into your digital Track & Trace management system. The software we have developed collects, aggregates and manages serialization data end-to-end – from the machine level through line management to site management. This creates a consistent database for controlled serialization processes, reliable traceability and compliance with regulatory requirements.
