NEWMAN LABELLING SHOWS TRACK & TRACE CAPABILITIES AT INTERPACK 2014

Tuesday 14. January 2014 - Newman Labelling Systems, a leading supplier of specialist pharmaceutical labelling systems, will be displaying its S350 fully automatic labelling system at Interpack 2014 in Dusseldorf, Germany, 8-14th May.

Moving to a new hall and stand location for the first time in many years for improved visibility, Newman’s top of the range S350 fully automatic, versatile labelling system will take pride of place on the stand.
The S350 has been designed to operate 24/7 at a true production rate of up to 300 containers per minute with high levels of efficiency according to DIN 8743. It is capable of applying both paper and clear plastic labels to cylindrical products in glass, plastic, metal and composite materials. Both label and container size changes can be rapidly achieved without the use of tools and digital scales provide repeatable container changeover in minutes.
A compact cGMP Design, manufactured in stainless steel 304 finish, the S350 comes with a range of features as standard, such as ‘Auto-teach’ label length facility, a positive accept security system and In Process Control.
The latest data-bus technology has been utilized within the machine, so as to simplify the integration of security and ancillary devices such as Visions Systems to allow latest Track & Trace applications to be accommodated.
A further enhancement to Track & Trace requirements comes in the form of Newman’s unique Faulty Label Removal (FLR) System with its automatic controlling of reject labels, which will also be demonstrated at Interpack. In operation, should the FLR system not receive “good signals” from the scanning / security devices in use (including bar code reader, missing overprint detector, OCV camera and 2D matrix code reader), the faulty label is securely removed from the label web prior to application onto the container. These faulty labels are then transferred to a paper roll for batch reconciliation and inspection.
All Newman Labelling Systems have many optional extras to suit budget and specification, details of which are available at the show.
Newman Labelling Systems is a leading manufacturer of specialised labelling machines for the pharmaceutical industry, with a customer base that includes the world’s top ten pharmaceutical companies. All purpose built systems are fully compliant with FDA cGMP requirements and can be supplied with validation completed up to PQ.
