Multi Side Pallet Labelling

The ALcode P pallet labeller represents the latest evolution by ALTECH UK in the field of pallet labelling machines.

The system is able to print and apply A5 format SSCC labels onto two adjacent faces of a pallet (normally front and side) in accordance with the EAN 128 standards (also single side or 3 side options available), providing high reliability single stop industrial print and apply pallet labelling solutions at up to 120 pallets/hr.

ALcode P is based on the well known SATO 8460Se print engine, able to print high quality labels of 152 mm width at 200 mm/sec in “harsh” industrial environments. The modular mounting allows also the use of alternative print engines such as Zebra 170 Pax or Datamax A Class.

The ALcode P pallet label applicator has been designed as a high performance universal machine. The complete unit comprises the printing system, the tri-axial applicator, and the protection cabinet.

The external structure of the machine has been recently redesigned and is now more ergonomic, thanks to the control panel smartly integrated in the protection cabinet and the (optional) touch screen panel that allows local management of the information to be printed and the applicator logic.

Following the introduction of this new structure, it is now possible to choose between two label application devices:

• The first device is the traditional ALTECH applicator with orthogonal axes, which moves on solid rolling guides and can apply labels on two (front + side ) or three (front + side + back) faces of a pallet. Such an applicator, which can label pallets of different sizes in real time, is one of the classics of ALTECH production, and the dozens of units already installed show its reliability and versatility in the most diverse applications and working environments.
• The second applicator was designed “from scratch” from an original idea of ALTECH designers and offers a simplified, more economical solution for the application of two labels (front + side) on pallets of the same size. This system is equally reliable and capable of labelling pallets of irregular shapes and sizes. The application device, which features an innovative application arm with a “rotating” movement and can be activated via a motor, represents a real novelty.

Both applicators can label the pallet faces with only one stop, and are operated via scanner control enabling the repetition of the application cycle if it has not been successful.

ALcode P is also available in a special configuration for print and application of labels of A4 size and bigger (ALcode P A4 Pallet Labeller) - often used to replace costly pre printed bag branding.

ALcode P for Turntable Stretch Wrappers

A particularly interesting configuration of ALcode P has been developed by ALTECH UK for integration in to turntable stretch wrappers.

This allows application of up to four labels per pallet via integration with the stretch wrapper controller, rotating the pallet through increments of 90 degree after the stretch wrapper has completed wrapping, with label application by single linear tamp (or tamp-blow)
