On Print and Apply Systems it is often the print module which determines the working rate. This is not the case with the new Legi-Air 4050 AC Shuttle.
A loop device ensures a ready supply of labels which are custom-printed before being dispensed at unusually high speeds onto the passing products. The capacity of this storage device means that even higher cycle speeds of short duration can be achieved. A check is kept on the loop by a dancer roller to ensure there is a supply of labels present. The benefits of this variant are
ease of use and the compact system design. Labelling capacity may be up to 20 times greater than printing capacity. Print speeds of up to 16 m per minute and conveyor speeds of up to 70 m per minute can be achieved.
Typical applications are labelling of identical products or products of continuous height. Compressed air is not required unlike most systems in the market today as the Print Apply System is completely electric and virtually Plug and Play. The result is a high level of cost-efficiency.
For partial printing on the label, print modules with automatic Ribbon Saver systems are available, resulting in further cost savings.

The Geset 111 labelling system is used to label square products on the top side automatically. Depending on the type and dimension of the product, different label sizes are used. The products are fed manually or by a conveying system provided by the customer at an infeed passage on the labelling system. Care should be taken on accurate alignment of the products. It is essential that the products are forwarded separately to the applicator with a gap between each other.
When the barrier is reached, an application trigger is tripped. The label applicator applies a label on the product in Wipe On procedure. The label on the top side is pushed on to the product by a brush or roller. After labelling, the products move on and can be removed from the conveyor by the customer.

Geset 112 Bottom Labelling System
The Geset 112 labelling system is used to label square products on the bottom side automatically. Depending on the type and dimension of the product, different label sizes are used. The products are fed manually or by a conveying system provided by the customer at an infeed passage on the labelling system. Care should be taken on accurate alignment of the products. It is essential that the products are forwarded separately to the applicator with a gap between each other.
When the light barrier is reached, an application trigger is tripped. The label applicator applies then in Wipe On procedure a label onto the product. The label on bottom side is pushed on the product by the self-weight of the product. After labelling the products move on and can be removed from conveyor by the customer.
