Spiral conveyors effect smooth vertical transfer
A low friction chain slat arrangement is used in spiral conveyors to provide continuous, smooth vertical transfer of product in either direction from upper and lower levels.
It can also be used to apply warehouse tracking labels to boxes and crates, or customer point of sale information to outer packaging.
Operating at speeds of up to 35 items per minute, the WPL8500 can be supplied with or without infeed and outfeed conveyors.
It can be washed down from conveyors downward and all conveyors are easily removable for cleaning.
With a high definition thermal printing head, the WPL8500 can be used to print a variety of information including: Package Weight and Price; Unit Price (price per kg, g or lbs); Date - in up to 4 formats referenced to the system's onboard 'clock', including offset 'use by' or 'best before' dates; Barcodes (EAN13, EAN8 and EAN128); and up to twelve Text Lines that can be edited with PC-based software.
Labels can be automatically applied to the product with the ability of front and side application for crates and boxes.
The machine has the facility to print graphics on the label, including monochrome bitmaps, lines and boxes.
Other non-printing variables can be programmed into the system including: Low and High Weight Limits; Package Tare; Label Position; Maximum Pack Length; Price and Weight Units.
Like the rest of the AEW Delford weigh price labelling range, the WPL8500 features the latest software for ease of operation and programming and can be networked with other equipment in the processing line.
