PRECISION CROSS WEB LABELLING

Superior flexibility and efficiency in labelling

With our powerful labelling head, we ensure a rapid and efficient label feeding process. The labels are placed onto our advanced vacuum chamber, where they are carefully aligned. From there, the labels are smoothly transferred and precisely applied to the product. High speed processor and high resolution on servo motors provides extremely high precision. This ensures flawless labelling on every product.

Easy Service

The stainless steel covers can be removed for quick and easy service access.

Multiple built-in test functions and error messages in plain text ensure fast troubleshooting and optimisation.

The labeller has a user-friendly control panel with display and intuitive keys. The panel provides access to a programme database with up to 100 programmes.

HØJER PØLSER

Overcoming packaging challenges

Streamlining Operations for Quality Assurance

Højer Pølser faced significant challenges with repacking, particularly with their softer cold cuts like brawn/pickled products. The traditional aluminum applicator plates used during packaging lacked the necessary spring-back ability, leading to damaged packages and increased repacking time—an inefficiency that was both frustrating and unacceptable.

In the fast-paced food industry, Højer Pølser often operates under tight delivery deadlines set by retailers and customers. This necessitates reliable equipment and flawless labelling to uphold their high standards of quality.

”It just works! With the new plastic springloaded applicator plates, it just works. There have been no problems with repacking, and it applies as it should. We have used the reliable HM Cross Web labellers for the past 20 years. Now with the upgraded HM solution, we have ensured an optimized and future-proof production setup.”

Gerd Müller - Owner at Højer Pølser

A tailored solution

We developed new plastic spring-loaded applicator plates for our Cross Web machines designed specifically to improve the packaging process for delicate products like those offered by Højer Pølser.

Since the implementation of the new plastic applicator plates, Højer Pølser has experienced remarkable improvements. The production line now runs smoothly without the need for repacking. For their brawn/pickled products alone, this solution has resulted in a significant 10% reduction in repacking time, allowing for more efficient operations and higher quality assurance.

HM Spring-Loaded Applicator Plates:

An adaptable option for the Cross Web Labeller, designed to apply labels efficiently to uneven and curved surfaces. This feature ensures precise labelling, even on challenging products like the sausages at Højer Pølser.
